Racists for Obama

last updated 8 January 2015

In a survey that “wouldn’t fly with Gallup,” we found that 75 percent of white supremacists support Barack Obama, said David Peisner in Esquire, and black nationalists are voting for John McCain. Three of the four neo-Nazis and white-power extremists we talked with are voting for Obama, because they think he's race-conscious, and that he dislikes President Bush and corporations. Our one black supremacist thinks Obama will sell out black people.

There are also white supremacist leaders, like David Duke, who think the whirlwind of interest in Obama is “a rising tide that will lift their sagging boats,” said Max Blumenthal in The Daily Beast, bringing new members, money, and “mainstream influence” to their cause.
