It seems more and more certain that a lot of White Nationalist types rode in with the Tea Party, and that large swaths of these new “populists” on the right are closet WNs. I don’t mean ordinary racists but people who buy into the whole deluxe package, that of imminent racial war, race “science”, New World Order conspiracies, etc.

I don’t know how else to explain all of this weirdness. From the giddiness on the Zimmerman verdict, to the citations of “The Bell Curve” in discussions on Detroit’s bankruptcy, to more innocuous things like regulars on Townhall singing the praises of Odinism, it’s starting to appear like something is very wrong.
