artjonesforcongressman.com/holocaust/This lunatic is running for Congress as a Republican. Lincoln must be turning in his grave at the prospect. The link is to this scumbag's own website!

Another nut case. Scary to think he is running for that position.

The only saving grace is that apparently he is fighting a rock-solid Democratic seat.
But my question is - why do mainstream parties allow these people to join and even worse - be candidates for them?
I'm not bigoted enough to assume that only one party is guilty of having racists among it. In Britain we've got a problem with it too. Ironically in Britain it's the Labour Party that has the biggest problem with anti-Semitism; in the US there have been racists in both the Democrats and Republicans.
But really, the mainstream parties need to kick these people OUT. Let Jones and his ilk found their own parties if they want to push their extreme views but keep them OUT of the mainstream parties.
That's how I feel.
One of the things I really despise about Corbyn is that he's done NOTHING to deal with the problem of racism and anti-Semitism in particular within the Labour Party.
Trump should be equally ashamed to think that Jones is carrying the standard of the party of Lincoln and Grant and others who fought FOR greater civil rights for minorities.

I wish they would do away with the party system and run on issues only. I think the time has come.
