White supremacist sheriff Republican candidate says he’s just a “concerned citizen”

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Distasteful and often baseless accusations of racial insensitivity are nothing new in politics. But one man running for sheriff in Idaho proudly proclaims his prejudice but says he won't discriminate on the job.

According to the Bonner County Daily Bee, local sheriff candidate Shaun Patrick Winkler, 33, has ties to the Aryan Nations and Church of Jesus Christ-Christian, both white supremacist organizations. And despite having taken part in race-based protests, Winkler says he's running in opposition to "increasing federal reach" into the county.

"Whether people will believe me or not, it will be entirely up to their own discretion," Winkler told the paper.

Winkler is running for the Republican nomination in Bonner County, which will be held on May 15, against two other men, including the current sheriff.

"I don't look at myself as a vigilante," Winkler said. "I look at myself as a concerned citizen."

Then vote for the other guy. It was OK for Obama to be associated with Reverend Wright. What is the difference? At any rate, he is direct about it and people can decide who they want to elect.

Are you against freedom of thought? Freedom of speech? Or do you not trust free people with the vote? Which?

Steven just wants to paint all Republicans as racist wife beaters that love gas guzzling SUV's, eat red meat, and work for Monsanto.

So not true. I do not beat my wife.

In the meantime he is OK with the continuance of abusing Mexicans for corporate profit
