What it’s like to be a white supremacist

[Tom Joad]

Interesting article.

Gives some insight into what kind of people are out there.

Todd Blodgett spent two years going undercover for the FBI at white supremacist meetings and conventions across the country.

Kind of like in the movies, the former Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush operative put the wires on after he got mixed up in the wrong crowd (though he emphasizes that he never did anything illegal).

Blodgett now gets called on by the media every few years -- whenever a racially or religiously motivated shooting happens -- to lend his insight behind the people who did it. His signature takeaway: Most all of these lone-wolf guys can be traced back to the indoctrination of white supremacist-leaning groups, which in turn provide the perfect scapegoat for mentally unstable people looking to blame society for their problems.

We spoke with Blodgett by phone Tuesday, a week after the most recent mass shooting in Charleston, S.C., to hear more about this underbelly of America.

Here's what he had to say (with his answers lightly edited for length and clarity).

This guy is apparently trying to sanitize the Republican party of this scourge. If they don't do it themselves now with this opportunity, it won't happen.

I'm beginning to think all the Republican candidates are the gutless wonders.
