I think the article is hysterical. There's nothing wrong with seeing what a large chunk of the world reads about America. And unless there are two Mark Dankof's of similar mindset, the man's a former Senate candidate. For those looking for alternatives to the Republican Party, it's worth seeing what's out there.

You wrote, "For those looking for alternatives to the Republican Party, it's worth seeing what's out there."
What's out there is what is commonly called the fringe, the political no-man's-land where anti-semites use creepy little code words like 'Jewish Lobby' to connote something older and darker. Lending credence to a man like Dankof because he's a 'former Senate candidate' is a kind of logical misdirection, a false attribution of qualities normally associated with men and women of real stature and merit. Should I take whackjobs like Lyndon LaRouche seriously because he's a former presidential candidate? That's the rationale you're selling and I, for one, am not buying it. Keep the bigotry off the board.

"...the man's a former Senate candidate"Your logic of his value reminds me of the old Dennis Miller joke about how Mondale only got 3 electoral votes: "That's just three more than I got...and I wasn't even running!"
