I note Mr. Tanton did not answer the questions. Doesn;t that evasiveness strike you as odd? OR how about what was outlined in the Wall Street Journal's editorial page on two occasions? I should note he also has admitted to taking money from the Pioneer Fund.

Here's the Google results on "Pioneer Fund":

I certainly will take the word of Congressman Cannon, who I disagree with on internet gambling and broadcast decency, over John Tanton. Look at what he found - and maybe you cna undertsand why some conservaitves might just fund his entire shady network repulsive and want NO PART OF IT.

Seriously, this is a case where the claims of racism are NOT somebody crying wolf - there are ample grounds on which the concerns are being raised; Tanton's background, Sam Francis's comments and background, Buchanan's comments and background - the stuff that is promulgated through groups/websites like American Renaissance and VDARE. And it seems that some prominent voices are okay with it - and that bothers me big time, and I'm not the type to be politically correct.

Or is mentioning the shady stuff going a violation of a different set of PC rules?

VDARE, Sam Francis, and Joe Sobran cannot be posted on FR. If they are, the Mods will pull the thread.

Thanks for reminding us, once again, of the shady connections between the Pioneer Fund (a white supremacist organization) and FAIR and CIS.

Nasty, nasty folks.

Should it?

You trust Chris Cannon, but you're evasive about his affiliations with La Raza, MALDEF, and the SPLC. How... "odd."

LOL! What should I conclude about you? What should I conclude about the peanut gallery you keep pinging? Where does guilt by association end?

Do you grok how silly you're being?

This tangent got started when you tried to demonize those who disagree with you as being part of a Tancredo/Malkin/Buchanan/vDare/etc. cabal. I pointed out that Tancredo has a very generous guest worker policy for Mexicans and other foreign nationsals on the table, but you didn't want to give him credit for it (your words), so now you're off on a John Tanton jag.

Why do you find it so inconvenient to stay on topic?

Yep.
