Barrett’s latest piece is over at the Huffington Post. In it, he alleges that Stacy “is nonetheless almost certainly a white supremacist, as has recently been alleged by the Charleston Gazette . . . .” Among the bits of evidence for this same charge, he produces the following:
Incidentally, McCain has been accused of racism from so many directions largely because the totality of the facts clearly indicate that McCain is not only a racist but also not very good at concealing his racism. As I recently noted, he expresses concern over reports of teenage pregnancies among minorities while elsewhere laughing off reports of teen pregnancies in general. He’s a member of the League of the South, which advocates for the legal secession of the southern states and otherwise celebrates the virtues of the Confederacy. This doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s sympathetic to racism. He could be really revved up about southern succession for reasons of something else. Other reasons. An eccentric taste for agriculture, perhaps. Incidentally, the president of that organization recently referred to this nation’s sitting and former presidents as “domestic terrorists” and to our federal government as an “organized criminal enterprise.”
The linked piece is a response to a post by Stacy in which he stated that the media spin regarding a study showing that religiosity could be correlated with teen pregnancy was irresponsible. Even the article in question noted that they couldn’t establish a causal relation based on the study. Nevertheless, other possible interpretations of the data were given short to no shrift at all. And principal among these would be demographic factors. It’s undeniable, given the data, that teen pregnancy rates are much higher among black and Latina teens than among white teens. Stacy doesn’t in his piece express any racial repugnance, but he does suggest that other factors, including perhaps higher poverty rates among blacks and Latinos, might be considered to be more of a relevant “root cause” than religiosity per se.
Interestingly, Barrett seems to believe that the sheer quantity of allegations of racism against Stacy are presumptive evidence in this case. Those allegations have been disseminated by Charles Johnson, whose latest fake but accurate defense for not retracting his libels regarding Limbaugh, even though they’re traceable to sources other than Limbaugh himself suggests that Charles has a rather casual association with truth these days. And in fact the Huffington Post itself hosted a piece repeating those same libels. And like Charles Johnson and CNN, they won’t even retract what they said once it’s been demonstrated to be a fraud.
Barrett ends his post this way:
Even then, the problem with McCain and those who have joined him in stripping the conservative movement bare of dignity is not one of racism, but of incompetence. A political movement can survive the deserved enmity of a few ethnic groups; it cannot survive more than a couple guys running around threatening newspapermen to duels or whatever the fuck is going on these days.
Which is pretty ironic, when we’ve seen race-hustling shakedown artists Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton spouting lies on the news for the past couple of days.
I think the problem here is that Barrett’s established his beat as “The Great Pundit Hunt.” Presumably, this means that he imagines he’s going to traipse across the internet fighting evildoers, almost all of whom happen to be conservative. It strikes me as a form of naive partisanship, but YMMV. If Stacy belongs to a separatist organization, that strikes me as a poor choice on his part, but at least he’s not in the running for Supreme Court Justice, eh, Barrett? I mean, the racialist organization La Raza may not be in itself separatist, but that doesn’t really matter when they support organizations that are, if we are going the guilt by association route.
I’m much more inclined to be sympathetic to RS McCain’s point of view. Not only because of my agreement with many of his outlooks and ideological positions, but because of I have little or no respect for his sworn enemies.
Many fell that CJ has gone over the edge, so to speak, and in his Obamamania is embracing many of the viewpoints he used to decry. While never a fan of LGF, I’m suspicious of someone who is burning so many bridges, or who won’t recant clearly innacurate reportage…
And Barrett? Puh-leez…I get the impression that he’s playing at journalism; so he can add “journalist” to all of the accomlishments on his assuredly cartoonish CV. To say he is a “legend in his own mind” is not hyperbole. I have experience with his disingenuous rhetorical style fro PW threads; he should fit right in with Sean Penn and Alec Baldwin at HuffPo…
Barrett is a nitwit. He should figure out a way to sell that.
I see he’s got another barnburner of a conversation going on over there. 5 comments is a serious improvement from what he got on his PW hit job. It’s 5 more, to be precise.
If a fool spews on the internet and nobody reads him, is he really a fool? Yes. Doubly so.
I bought one of Barret’s books, proving he’s learned how to sell those.
He might be a nitwit as Pablo suggests, but arguing McCain is a racist is not exactly from left field. Former employees from the Washington Times indicate he is.
McCain defends a restaurant owner who is a Klan member. McCain wrote a letter to American Renaissance magazine lauding an obscenely white supremacist interpretation of American history. Finally, go to LGF and listen to him refuse to take back the bank teller/sister-in-law line in person.
Dan, I don’t agree often with you on politics, but I never thought you were a racist. You should try a little due diligence on RSM and stay away.
Oh, and, Pablo, if you don’t mind a preemptive strike: I don’t care for you either

Agree that there’s no reason for that strong association. As a Catholic, I don’t care whether my co-religionists are Chinese are Chinese or Ethiopian. As a Westerner, I don’t care whether my enlightenment values are espoused by people who look like me or not.
The idea, espoused by Obama’s old pastor, that whites cannot be authentically Christian, I find abhorrent, and any other racist or racialist religious doctrine I find abhorrent as well.
That said, I do wish that people would limit themselves to citing evidence that actually says what they claim it says. I don’t find Stacy’s piece on the demographics of teen pregnancy to be one of those places.
If Robert Stacy McCain doesn’t actually molest black children then why doesn’t he come right out and deny that he’s never sexually fondled any black children?
I just don’t get it.
(It’s a way-homer, hehehe)
Robbie, boy, I don’t like you, never have. I think you’re a undouched cunt.
Just about anything brayed by Timmah the Stalker, Twisted Sister Barrett Brown and this scrappleface Tom Thor (oh, and definitely throw in that Charles Johnsonhole fellow too) I can easily disregard given the lightweight nature of the ‘evidence’ they’ve produced. And their wormcast-low characters. RSM has strong religious feelings; so what? Religion means different things to different people. BHO sat in a racist Church for 20 years, studying BLT under a proudly racist ‘preacher’; he married a racist wife; now he’s president of the United States. A racist, as our President. Who are these dogshit-sniffling racist-voting leftists to judge RSM? He’s certainly not running for anything.
Racism. Phooey. We just never hear that meme used by the Left anymore nowadays , do we?
Fuck off, pint-sized hick, before Bill Ayers accidentally steps on your greasy head.
I don’t know this Newster, but he seems much smarter than Serr8d….granted a low bar from the sort of redneck asshole who can’t be bothered to click a link and puts racist pictures on his own site.
Oh, serr8d, are you sure you can play here? I’m not sure Dan will let you delete comments like you do when your butt is handed to you at your place.
Nonetheless, not like you’re not comfortable with the American Renaissance site (or you could look in the back issues you have lying around the trailer). As for the Colmes audio show, I’m not sure how many of your ad hominem attacks can obscure the fact that McCain himself IN HIS OWN VOICE cannot and will not deny his past statements.
Charles Johnson is a flat-out liar. Remember that crap he said about Bush bowing to some Saudi fuckhole? Total lie. That was weird.
I don’t think he’s right in the head.
I’m thor from PW.
And I’m Charles Johnson! Metaphorically speaking.
As a moderate conservative who turned moderate liberal and then voted for Obama, I too became the enemy of the emotionally-stunted hicktards from outhouse holler.
Breaking ranks is not allowed! Hahaha. Sounds eerily like an radical Islamic radical attachment they’re on.
At least Dan Collins isn’t afraid of being questioned and occasionally fronted. That’s rare in Jesus-world.
Viva Archbishop Oscar Romero!
Heh. Little Twisted Sister Barrett Brown showed up in PW’s comments a while ago. Of course he was slapped around a bit.
You remember your slappings and beatings, Timmah the Stalker and Tomthor the raging asshole? Because neither of you can ever post there again, don’t even bother reading.
At least, together, you can practice your 69 moves. Carry on, biatches~!
I bet he wasn’t beat about the head like you were when you posted your stupidity on that William Ayers picture.
You got your face dry humped by a massive i-swarm.
Hey, how do those Titans look from the cheap seats? Hahaha.
Really? Every one of the Sadly, Snotnosed thorbaters who showed up at my place were directly dealt with and returned to their masters bleeding and tormented.
Nothing comes at me that I can’t handle. Remember that, oh ye of the inadequate penis.
Stupid and delusional? I guess the one helps you ignore the other
Timmah, what’s been deluded is Keller & Keller, since they’ve hired you…how could they know they got an internet stalker when they thought only a part-time a sign twirler?
Nice work, Thor. The beatings he received from the Sadly, No crowd were monumentally brilliant. What I don’t understand is why he says Charles Johnson is a liar when I asked him to listen to Alan Colmes interview Stacy. It’s not like Charles had anything to do with it.
As for serr8d and posting at protein wisdom, I post when I like, but seeing as how the Protein Wisdom Quick Reactionary Force declares dissent personal and no public, I do it under different names. I have never the let the words of Serry lord and Master derail me from commenting.
I suppose I should go back to urging Dan, who is not a Tennessean with questionable racial attitudes, to do his homework on RSM.
You’re welcome, RSM.
