Thread: The defamation of Alipac by the ADL:

White Supremacists Promote ALIPAC and Take Action on its Behalf

Posted: May 26, 2009



As many anti-immigrant groups blur the line between discussions of immigration policy and outright bigotry towards non-white immigrants, white supremacists and anti-Semites have become increasingly supportive of those groups whose rhetoric matches their own anti-immigrant sentiment. Extremists exploit the legitimacy of these anti-immigrant groups to advance their own hateful ideology and possibly expand recruitment.

Specifically, extremists have voiced support for Americans for Legal Immigration Political Action Committee (ALIPAC), which claims to support "control and reversal" of undocumented immigration but really disseminates its message with virulent, anti-immigrant rhetoric. White supremacists and anti-Semites have promoted the group by engaging in activity on its behalf and posting links to ALIPAC's Web site on their own Web sites and forums.

Taking Action on Behalf of ALIPAC

White supremacists and racist skinheads have encouraged their followers to engage in activity on behalf of ALIPAC. These calls to action have included the promotion of ALIPAC-directed protests, rallies, and citizen lobbying of elected officials.

* The Vinlanders Social Club, a hardcore racist skinhead group based primarily in the Midwest, posted a piece to its Web site in which ALIPAC called for participation in the April 15 Tea Party, anti-tax protests that took place in cities across the country. The announcement on the Vinlanders Web site encouraged "supporters to attend the rallies and to setup tables where possible to circulate fliers…"

The Vinlanders have also encouraged their members and followers to lobby elected officials as a part of an ALIPAC campaign to secure the passage of anti-immigrant legislation. The Vinlander Web site administrator posted the lobbying instructions from ALIPAC in addition to a message which read, "Please take 20 minutes to assist."

* Western Voices World News (WVWN), the news Web site of the white supremacist European Americans United group, featured information about an April 2009 demonstration organized by ALIPAC and two other groups in North Carolina. In addition to language about the demonstration's purpose, which was to support anti-immigrant legislation, readers on the white supremacist site were given the date, time, and mapped location of the event so that they could participate.

WVWN also posted an article from the ALIPAC Web site which called on supporters to contact their Congressional representatives to demand that the Obama Administration close the American-Mexican border in the wake of the H1N1 flu outbreak. Anti-immigrant groups are exploiting the epidemic to advance their demonizing claims against Mexico and its people as disease carriers.

Promoting ALIPAC's Activity and Statements

Additionally, anti-Semites and white supremacists posting on extremist forums promote ALIPAC, its activity, and Gheen's statements. These extremists look to ALIPAC and use the group's Web site and ideology to fuel their own hatred of non-white immigrants.

* In a post to the forum of the National Socialist Movement (NSM), the largest neo-Nazi group in the country, a Texas-based member wrote that he signed one of the group's petitions (which he referred to as a "pention"). Like other neo-Nazi groups, the NSM has worked to capitalize on anti-immigration sentiment in America, both to spread its hateful message and recruit a larger following.

* The Vanguard News Network forum, run by neo-Nazi Alex Linder who gave the forum a slogan of "No Jews, Just Right," features discussion threads in which individuals posted links to the ALIPAC Web site and other Gheen-related material. For example, in early 2009, an individual using the screen name "ZOG CONTROL" praised and posted links to two of Gheen's Internet radio shows. He also commented that "Gheen is not able to be openly pro-White." (ZOG refers to the "Zionist Occupied Government," a phrase used by anti-Semites to suggest that the Jewish people are engaged in a conspiracy to control not only government bodies, but several other social institutions.)

* The administrator of the forum of the Vinlanders Social Club posted a request from ALIPAC for individuals to lobby an Indiana government official to facilitate the passage of legislation which would empower local law enforcement to enforce federal immigration law and mandate that employers verify the immigration status of their employees. Forum members responded by taking action and, as one Kentucky-based member wrote, "joining the fight."

* Links to ALIPAC's Web site and support for the group appears in several places on Stormfront, the largest and most popular white supremacist forum. One member provided a link to ALIPAC's site and wrote that the group "holds some of our tenents [sic]." Another member posted a link to the list of ALIPAC's upcoming events, and under each post made by a Texas-based Stormfront member, a call to "PLEASE SUPPORT ALIPAC" is featured.

Featuring links to and Complete Pieces from the ALIPAC Web site

Anti-Semitic and white supremacists Web sites also feature links to and complete pieces from the ALIPAC Web site.

* In early April 2009, the Web site of American Free Press, a virulently anti-Semitic newspaper, featured a front-page link to an article on the ALIPAC Web site. The newspaper's Web site also featured a November 2008 article by Gheen and information about ALIPAC. American Free Press is published by Willis Carto, one of the most influential American anti-Semitic propagandists of the past 50 years. Carto also publishes The Barnes Review, a Holocaust denial magazine.

* The Web site of American Renaissance, a white supremacist journal, has featured a number of articles that either originate from ALIPAC's Web site or discuss the group. Most recently, the American Renaissance Web site posted an April 2009 piece written by William Gheen in which he described his experience at an anti-immigrant event at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. American Renaissance described ALIPAC as a "non-white pressure group."

* David Duke, an anti-Semite and white supremacist, has featured several pieces from ALIPAC on his Web site, including articles about the group's activity. Duke, a former Ku Klux Klan Grand Dragon, was arrested in April 2009 in the Czech Republic on suspicions that he was spreading Holocaust denial.

The Anti Defamation League needs to chat with LadySTclaire,fedupHispanic,NewMexican, and the Other 22%of our Americans!

Maybe some of you should get together and start your own fake hate group , then be sure to loudly and publicly support the ADL.

So racists support alipac , ok so ? Does that mean I'm a racist ? It most certainly does not .

Marquis I'm not sure what the hell you are except American.

I posted the wrong page when I made this after going to this page type Alipac in the search and It says a bunch of crap. I want to cuss!

They are dancing around. Every article must a have a link to the source. We are not making this stuff up......

The link posted for this article does notwork.

Here either?

I copied this page last night, and now it's server error. Is anyone else getting this.

The right to face our accusers?

Vinlanders Social Club, a hardcore racist skinhead group based primarily in the Midwest, posted a piece to its Web site...

Who posted this piece to the website and did their post convey support for ALIPAC or just information sharing? What is the source of this claim. Vinlanders Social Club is not a person with a face, name, and address.

What is the real name and city location behind this supposed source? Who are the Vinlanders? Ive never heard of them until the ADL attacked us.

Vinlanders have also encouraged their members and followers to lobby elected officials as a part of an ALIPAC campaign to secure the passage of anti-immigrant legislation. The Vinlander Web site administrator posted.....

What is the real name and city location behind this supposed source?

Western Voices World News (WVWN), the news Web site of the white supremacist European Americans United group, featured information about an April 2009 demonstration organized by ALIPAC and two other groups in North Carolina.

Who did this? What is the name, image, and city of this person or persons so we can verify that they "support ALIPAC". Who are the WVWN, I've never heard of them before this ADL piece.

In a post to the forum of the National Socialist Movement (NSM), the largest neo-Nazi group in the country, a Texas-based member wrote that he signed one of the group's petitions....

Who said this and who signed one of our petitions? How could I or anyone else find this person's name and contact information for source verification to determine if they are indeed "anti-Semitic or neo nazi" and that they support or back us? A post on a website is not a source. People are sources, who is this person?

Vanguard News Network forum, run by neo-Nazi Alex Linder who gave the forum a slogan of "No Jews, Just Right," features discussion threads in which individuals posted links to the ALIPAC Web site and other Gheen-related material. For example, in early 2009, an individual using the screen name "ZOG CONTROL" praised and posted links to two of Gheen's Internet radio shows....

Who is "ZOG CONTROL" and who can provide me with their real name so that I, or any member of the legitimate media that is not an Amnesty supporter like McCain or the ADL, contact this person to determine if they support ALIPAC or use our materials to "fuel their hate" how can this information be verified?

Links to ALIPAC's Web site and support for the group appears in several places on Stormfront, the largest and most popular white supremacist forum. One member provided a link to ALIPAC's site and wrote that the group "holds some of our tenents [sic]."...

Who made these comments? What is the sources real name that made these comments so that I and the legitimate media can contact them to determine if they are racists and they do support ALIPAC. Again..... NO NAMES NO REAL SOURCES JUST WEB POSTINGS!
