Today, the South Carolina Democratic Party blasted Governor Haley and her South Carolina Republican Party for calling the IRS “Obama’s Gestapo” in a fundraising email. Chairman Jaime Harrison released this statement:
“Just two months ago, Nikki Haley spent three days defending a white supremacist that she appointed co-chair of her campaign and now her party is equating its political opponents to the Nazi police that oversaw the imprisonment and mass-murder of millions of innocent people. It’s a disgusting display that proves Nikki Haley truly knows no bounds when it comes to hypocrisy and has no standards for decency and standing up for rights.
“As the leader of her party, Governor Haley should condemn these hateful remarks. And as Chairman of the SCGOP, Matt Moore should apologize to the people of South Carolina and donate any money raised from this email to charity.”
Background:
Today, the SCGOP sent a fundraising blast calling the IRS “Obama’s Gestapo.”
· South Carolina Republican Party Email Compares Obama Administration To Nazis [Buzzfeed, 7/30/13]
In May, Nikki Haley stood by a white nationalist leader serving as co-chair of her reelection campaign for three days while he doubled-down on his divisive rhetoric before resigning:
· Southern Poverty Law Center: SC Governor Names White Nationalist to Reelection Committee. [SPLC, 5/22/13]
· Haley rebuffs Dem demands that she dismiss controversial advisor. “Gov. Nikki Haley’s re-election campaign has no plans to remove a controversial volunteer who S.C. Democrats and others say has ties to white supremacist groups…. ‘Is it racist to be proud of your own heritage? Is it racist to want to keep your own heritage pure?’ Garcia-Quintana said.” [The State, 5/24/13]
· Nikki Haley: No Plans to Remove Controversial Volunteer. “Over the past week, several media outlets have reported that one of the volunteers for Gov. Nikki Haley’s re-election has been active in groups linked to right-wing extremism. On Friday, Haley’s political director Tim Pearson told Patch Haley has no plans to ask the volunteer, Roan Garcia-Quintana, to step down from the team of 170-plus volunteers.” [Patch, 5/24/13]

I hate Nikki, but this is stupid.

Maybe the Southern Avenger can jump on Nikki’s campaign now that Rand Paul has dropped his second white supremacist and neo-confederate staffer. God, I love the GOP.
I’ve been really curious about this whole Southern Avenger thing.
What did Jack Hunter say that was racist?
You don’t understand. The media says he’s racist, so now he is.
Nice try Republican.Unfortunately this slimeballs bigotry is there for all to see.
You got me all wrong, I’m a Dixiecrat.
Check the archives at the Charleston City Paper.The bigot spewed that corny neo Confederate garbage for years.Amusingly tried to get the Editor to get rid of all his articles while the controversy was going on.Yeh Rand Paul didnt t know about any of this.Hahahahaha!
“Check the archives at the Charleston City Paper.”
I did, and yet I can’t find one racist thing.
Since you seem to know where the body’s are buried, post a link.

Maybe she’s just mad because her parents are in so much trouble. Nothing like a near half million dollar judgement to mess you up.

lol….has anyone actually ever “apologized” in the political arena when the opposition party calls for it?
No kidding. It is like an 80’s wrestling match where Flair would be pounding some jobber (probably some guy with green knee pads and a cheap satin jacket, like Gene Ligon or George South), and Referee Extraordinaire Tommy Young (or occasionally Scrappy McGowan) would ask the jobber “do you give it up?”, yet the jobber never would quit. Ever.
Nice analogy!
Wooooooooo!

This South Carolinian doesn’t want an apology, it’s actually a dead on analogy.
Ah ,yes,Pytels little bro.Still claiming not to be a Republican ?
You’re conflating my distaste for the President Obama does things, and my party affiliation.
Exactly correct, Jay. Just because they haven’t deployed the jackboots for murder and assassination, doesn’t mean they are not already being viewed as being, and provided privileges, above the law.

Ironic in a way. She’s probably far more Aryan than any of us are.
But ‘Reichs Mistress of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda’ Garcia-Quintana, that’s another matter.
