A New Hampshire man who has sparked controversy for spewing racist, white supremacist views has decided to use his divisive platform to campaign for a New Hampshire State House seat.

Ryan J. Murdough, a 30 year-old who works with special needs children at a local youth center, is the "state chairman" of an organization called American Third Position, or A3P, a group that defines its mission as "represent[ing] the political interests of White Americans, because no one else will." (The site currently advertises a "moneybomb" for Murdough, with a fundraising goal of $2,500.)

In a caustic letter titled "We must preserve our racial identity" published by the Concord Monitor at the beginning of the month, Murdough offers his beliefs on white supremacy and racial segregation:

For far too long white Americans have been told that diversity is something beneficial to their existence. Statistics prove that the opposite is true. New Hampshire residents must seek to preserve their racial identity if we want future generations to have to possibility to live in such a great state. Affirmative action, illegal and legal non-white immigration, anti-white public school systems, and an anti-white media have done much damage to the United States of America and especially New Hampshire. It is time for white people in New Hampshire and across the country to take a stand. We are only 8 percent of the world's population and we need our own homeland, just like any other non-white group of people deserve their own homeland.

It gets worse:

"In celebration of Black History month, I am going to recognize what they do best,commit crime,get AIDS/STD's,blame whitey,cry racism." (sic), Murdough once wrote on his Twitter page, which has since been deleted (don't worry though, because according to Murdough: "I am a moderator at www.whitenews.com where I can write more lengthy posts if I choose).

Murdough filed as a Republican candidate earlier this month, but the Ashland, New Hampshire man's extreme views have since led the state GOP to publicly condemn him and ban him from using party resources.

After New Hampshire GOP chairman John H. Sununu effectively excommunicated Murdough from the party, state GOP spokesman Ryan Williams followed up, calling Murdough "a despicable racist" and saying that "(h)is racist views are abhorrent, and he is not welcome in the New Hampshire Republican Party."

And the point is ... ? After watching the New Black Panthers have the charges against them DISMISSED by the AG of the US, I don't really give a rat's asss about something like this ... I consider it fair play now ...

And what a surprise that this comes from the HuffingtonPuffingtonPost ... the source of all things 'accurate' and 'unbiased' ...

Sheesh, what an attention whore!(the guy in the op story) As I always like to say, "politics is show business for the ugly."

So it's ok, because the Black Panthers do the same from the other side too?

it would be scary to have someone with such exclusive political views to gain a position of authority such as the senate,,,,

as to A3P, it sounds more like the reverse of NOI with its talk of seperate nations and such.

BP is more about protection than exclusion. All groups attract some extremely hateful folks but its good to hear the Repubs disassociate from such a campaign

White protection is the same as panthers.

They ain't anti-black, they're pro-white.

Too bad the dems and hussein won't condemn the panthers.

BTW.
If memory serves me, when the Panthers started, they were against inter-racial marriages.

nothing wrong with being pro-white... i'm glad somebody is finally stepping up.

So, those who are ok with this are ok with the Black Panthers too?

nothing wrong with being pro black either...as long as nobody gets hurt on either side.

Sure, why not?

Fair representation.

We need the white version of the National Association for the Advancement of Coddled People.

this 'We must preserve our racial identity'


does not seem the same as protecting the civil liberties and LIVES of disenfranchised people who were being beaten or ignored,,,,

I am ok with people who fight for injustice and inequality to be corrected. I am a proponent of INCLUSION but not EXCLUSION. The Black panthers protected people who were already EXCLUDED and FAR outnumbered, they were trying to do for their community what others were ALREADY doing for theirs.

When I see a group that can SHOW and BACK UP a history or a tendency to be excluded or not represented in some area, I also feel it is incumbent upon them to call that to peoples attention so that people can work together to improve that situation. There are womens groups who draw attention to issues which DISPROPORTIONATELY affect women, there are asian groups, hispanic groups, even mans groups(like those who fight for more equal rights in family courts). I think all of them have legitimate issues to address. I am sorry , but I just dont see what issue white people on a whole have to gripe about in this country founded by white people for white people and still predominately run and benefitting white people.( I use that term exclusively as a racial category, but I do believe WITHIN that category are groups with official gripes, like appalachians or males in the court systems,,etc,,)

I dont think any people can get something done by themself in such a diverse society, people have to work together, but it has to start somewhere and I do think its good that such groups can bring issues to the attention of others so that progress can begin.

the black panthers are in the same genre as the kkk, because they were formed because of groups like the kkk. i see the kkk as a bigger threat than the black panthers. i have yet to hear of the BP pulling someone behind the back of their truck, or burning crosses in someones yard. they might have some hate behind them, but i don't blame them at all.

Ummm, 'scuse me, BUT: It seems to be okay whenever the NAALCP or the NBP or King Louie's 'Nation of Islam' do their li'l step-up 'n shout-out for the 'preservation of black racial identity', but it suddenly becomes a problem when WHITE organizations step up to do a shout-out for THEIR race ... ? Sorry, but that's a bit too exclusionary for my taste. Now: Name two people who were 'being beaten or ignored' ... and then name the reason(-s) WHY that was being done to them. That's a straw man and you know it ...

1. the Nation of Islam was an exclusionist organization, quite different from the NAACP

2. MANY MANY people speak out against Farrakhan, and he doesnt say anything about preserving black 'identity' as it is generally accepted by most that blackness(racially speaking) is not something that is in danger(since the beginnings of our racial classes started qualifying ANY african american 'blood' as a qualifier for blackness)

3. Who was beaten? Have you heard of Emmit Till or Medgar Evers? his offense had to do with a white female..(whistling, talking, or otherwise aknowledging her)

Even people in other countries have seen the footage of cops spraying and beating black protestors in the sixties.

Who was ignored? Have you heard of Jim Crow Laws? (I cant answer the WHY for that one. Why was it ok to punish interracial couples with inprisonment or fines in Florida? Why was it a misdemeanor to supply interracial housing?)

come on now,, lets be intellectually and historically honest,,however difficult that might be

Farrakhan has similar views to the op

however, NAACP does not

'To ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of all citizens
To achieve equality of rights and eliminate race prejudice among the citizens of the United States
To remove all barriers of racial discrimination through democratic processes
To seek enactment and enforcement of federal, state, and local laws securing civil rights
To inform the public of the adverse effects of racial discrimination and to seek its elimination
To educate persons as to their constitutional rights and to take all lawful action to secure the exercise thereof, and to take any other lawful action in furtherance of these objectives, consistent with the NAACP's Articles of Incorporation and this Constitution'

not anything to do with preserving a racial identity really
