Will KKK Help Deliver Tom McClintock to Congress?

POSTED BY: Dylan Ris

Tom McClintock's campaign to replace outgoing Rep. John Doolittle (R-CA) has hit a snag on the revelation that some old friends may still hold a burning cross for him.

And, yes, I do mean the Ku Klux Klan

Republican Tom McClintock, who is running for an open California seat against Democrat Charlie Brown, surely would have preferred that the KKK not endorse him for governor in 2003.

Democrats are resurrecting that endorsement to play against McClintock, who hopes to win the seat being vacated by Rep. John Doolittle (R-Calif.).

The endorsement came via press release during McClintock's gubernatorial campaign against Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gary Coleman. It stated, among other things…

The Imperial Klans of America, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (IKA) have announced their full support for Tom McClintock's bid for the governorship of California. Their support is announced in what they term "the lesser of all evil candidates."…

The IKA is a non-profit, Whites' civil rights organization. It is dedicated to the unification, preservation and advancement of White Christian America.

Of course McClintock's problems go far beyond embarrassing endorsements. To begin with, he doesn't live anywhere near the Congressional district; he's from Thousand Oaks, roughly 500 miles to the southwest.

He's also running against someone named Charlie Brown, who is such a loveable loser that surely the voters will see it in their hearts to let him be a Congressman… or at least to kick the football.

But the KKK endorsement may be the final straw. If it kills his candidacy in California, McClintock should consider carpet-bagging to Colorado's 4th Congressional District, which isn't that much further away from Thousand Oaks than where he's running now.

Out there, Rep. Marilyn Musgrave has managed to ride the Klan's endorsement all the way to Capitol Hill.

  3. I have a question: what is being done to verify the citizenshiip of Barack Obama?

    The Constitution!

    For the electors to uphold the Constitution, that they're sworn to do with their upcoming vote, they must first know for sure that the candidates meet the basic Constitutional requirements for the office of president. He (or she) must be a natural-born citizen, at least 35 years old, and have at least 14 years of residency in these United States That's not a lot to ask. Pretty basic … really; and pretty easy. Either you are a natural-born citizen or you aren't. Just deliver the original birth certificate, and everyone can be on their way. That's just what the United States Supreme Court has been asked to do. And the Supreme Court has asked for a response from Barack Obama, along with the Democratic National Committee and Federal Elections Commission. They have until December 1st to respond.

    Surely, a guy couldn't get this far without meeting the basic requirements, could he? Turns out … he could. Especially if the political party, whose job it is to verify that their candidate is qualified, has a conflict of interest – they want their guy to win. That's why there's a clamor to see if those basic requirements are actually met.

    Not extreme. Not fringe. Just Constitutional. Obama says he's qualified? There area currently multiple legal suits and a growing number of Americans who say: "Prove it!"

    Why is there any doubt?

    Exhibit A: The Grandmother's tape

    I was in the delivery room in [Mombosa,] Kenya , when he was born August 4th, 1961.

    – Obama's paternal grandmother

    (Here's the phone call where Obama's grandmother says Obama was born in Kenya ). Even though politicians are known for it, grandmothers seldom lie.

    Exhibit B: No birth certificate

    Experts have called the Certificate of Live Birth posted online a forgery. As reported on the "Faith2Action" radio program yesterday: "It's clearly been altered," which invalidates it, according to the document itself. There is no indication – even on this certificate – as to specifically where the birth took place. And it turns out that Hawaiian law, at the time, allowed people to register for this non-hospital short-form certificate (without a doctor's signature) up to one year from the date of the child's birth.

    Exhibit C: The matter of Indonesian citizenship

    Only Indonesian citizens could attend Indonesian schools at the time Barack Obama attended school in Indonesia where was registered as Barry Soetoro. His citizenship was was listed as Indonesian, and his religion as Islam. There was also no dual citizenship at the time.

    If he was adopted by his Indonesian stepfather, he would have forfeited any U.S. citizenship he may have had; just as when a child is adopted in America , he or she becomes an American.

    Exhibit D: Travel to Pakistan

    U.S. citizens were prohibited from traveling to Pakistan in 1981 when Barack Obama made his visit – likely with a passport other than a U.S. passport.

    Exhibit E: Immigration back to the U.S.

    If Barack Obama went through "Immigration" when he re-entered the United States , he would have become "naturalized," which also would not qualify him to become President. If he did not, there is a likelihood that he is now an illegal alien – not even eligible to serve in the U.S. Senate. In fact, there has been no evidence that Barack Obama ever legally changed his name from Barry Soetoro.

    In addition, according to U.S. law, from "Dec. 24, 1952, to Nov. 13, 1986," a U.S. natural-born citizen at the time of Obama's birth must be:

    1. A natural-born citizen;

    2. Born to two U.S. citizen parents; or …

    3. If only one parent was a U.S. citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least 10 years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16.

    Since Barack Obama's father was not a U.S. citizen, and Obama's mother was only 18 at the time of his birth, she failed to meet the legal requirements of U.S. residency for at least five years after the age of 16.

  6. I just want to say that the fact that the KKK has the nerve to endorse anyone is a shame. In fact their very existence is a shame. The same can be said for any group that disparages inequality.

  7. This district has the coolest names in the world. Rep. Doolittle, Charlie Brown and McClintock http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi3848667161/ You don't by chance have a guy named Dagwood Bumstead that is interested in running do you? Or Marmaduke?

  8. I live in Thousand Oaks, and let me tell you that people here would never elect McClintock to congress after the crap job he's done as state rep or whatever hes supposed to be. It's no surprise he had to move halfway accross the state to get a job!

  9. North Western California. McClintock will do good there with those credentials.

  10. Musgrave is pure slime. Tom McClintock may be bad, but there is no comparison. Musgrave needs to be raptured before Congress reconvenes.
