Earlier, BeachDem mentioned Kyle Rogers of CofCC might have been familiar to me because he has been around Columbus.

I had a tab open from a search on him and hadn’t read it. Just did. The results (sorry if already posted, don’t remember seeing this):

Onepeoplesproject.com - KYLE ROGERS

In January of 2001 the Council of Conservative Citizens added an Ohio Valley chapter. By July the Columbus Dispatch had an article titled “Hate clans taking root in Ohio soil,” made reference to that particular chapter. That left a bad taste in the mouth of its chairman, who fired off a letter to the paper. Admonishing it for what he saw as a “deliberate attempt to hurt our organization’s growth,” he charges that the article takes its cue from the Anti-Defamation League, and that the Council of Conservative Citizens is a reputable organization because its membership includes state representatives, state senators and even one state Supreme Court justice, mayors, sheriffs, radio personalities, college professors, ministers, bishops “The C of CC does not have ANY potential for violence like your article claims,” the chairman cried. “The Columbus Dispatch clearly painted a false picture of the C of CC. Do the people that I mentioned sound like the type of people that would be part of a violent “hate group?”

Uhhh..yeah, and ironically we need to look no further than the chairman itself as proof. He was Kyle Rogers, and no we are not talking about the hockey player for the Toronto Marlies. This Kyle Rogers is a white supremacist activist who has been doing this kind of thing ever since he was in high school and simply found a new niche for his hatemongering. According to Anti-Racist Action, who had dealt with him and his antics when he was in Columbus, Ohio, he has been in the Klan (a violent hate group) and suspected of being in the National Alliance (another violent hate group), which has always has some sort of cross-pollination with the C of CC. He has contacted One People’s Project and denies such affiliations, however. But he is a C of CC member, and when he was running the Ohio C of CC chapter he raised a few eyebrows by getting white power programs on Columbus’ public access television station and the persons featured on the program, such as former Klansman David Duke or the currently incarceraed white supremacist leader Matt Hale, have either participated in, been an advocate for or are part of groups that have been connected to violent activity.

These days he makes his home in Charleston, South Carolina and is still with the C of CC in another capacity, as the organization’s webmaster. He contributed articles to the Citizens’ Informer, the C of CC’s publication and speaks at several C of CC events, but regardless of how much he puts himself out there, he always stayed under the radar somewhat. But is inner white power nerd came out late 2010 when he got the organization involved in one of the stupidest political campaigns ever, even for white supremacists.
