You republicans owe me for keeping you informed. Its too bad you recently learned how to read. If you cared about the truth last year, you wouldn’t be in this mess. Let us not forget, Pearce endorsed Ready for City Council in 2006. Ready’s views have always been racist and strange-they really don’t differ much from Pearces. That explains their long-term friendship.

This is what Husband said in February when he first encountered JT ready and his neo-Nazi literature at the GOP denial fest:

“This is the first time we’ve ever encountered anything of this nature,” said Husband, who was more forthcoming than Tuttle when asked. “So it kind of blindsided us. But we acted immediately to correct it. ”

(ya-right.)

Febuary-he says one thing and forgets or hopes you will. Now he says something different and some of you applaud him?
How much Pearce koolaid are you going to drink?

Husband lies about JT Ready-its exposed and fact.

Pearce has flop/flopped so many times that it is pathetic. Still, you refuse to face the facts. How pathetic it must be to be a republican these days. As I’ve said many times, Ready is not the only skeleton in Pearces closet. More will be revealed.

I’m beginning to think you prefer Nazi’s over Democrats.

I’m not saying they’re sympathizers – and I never said that, I’m saying that Tom Husband is an ineffectual clod looking for poitical expediency as a way out of this mess. Flake, Franks, Shadegg – yeah, they should have acted sooner. They didn’t, whatever. But they’re not trying to hide this, they’re not trying to wish it away to the cornfield like Husband is. Doesn’t that idiot realize he stalls, the more press this gets? The worse it looks?

“Sorry you lost family in the war…but MANY Americans lost family on the front lines fighting the Italians and Germans, so too did many American Jewish families who happen to also be Republican or Libertarian.”

And I honor their sacrifice; without them, I wouldn’t be here and the rest of you would be at Circus Circus on Friday night – but let’s not pretend WWII was a grand adventure to save the Jews. Every country acted out of self-preservation. Russia was equally as anti-Semtic as Germany, Britain had it’s own “Jewish Problem”, and we all know the plight of the Ship of the Damned.

And don’t make the mistake of assuming “anger” means “hate”. My anger is righteous. As was my grandfather’s when he was picking off members of the Bund with his Kalashnikov.

Mistakes were made by Republicans, to be clear, but that does NOT make Rs rascists or Nazis. You may SAY you know Rs that aren’t rascists, but that is undercut by the subtext and thrust of your comments on these threads.

I think you’ve let your hatred for Nazis (funny, hating hate-mongers for hating) cloud your judgment on this issue. You’ve already admitted you’re “overzealous” on Nazis anyway.

“I guess I can safely assert that while I’ve studied WWII, I’m not obsessed with Nazi trappings and structure, so, I was ignorant about Nazi titles and ranks.”

Yeah, I guess I’m a little overzealous with trying to understand the minds of the people who murdered most of my family and tried to erase them from history, and people who subscribe to that poisonous ideology today. Silly me.
I should totally be ashamed of that.

You were not joking in the subtext of your argument: that you think Republicans are Nazis and rascists. THAT is what prompted me to fire back at you.

I actually have done my homework on Mr. Ready, so yes, I did find his profile on NewSaxon when it was a .com, and before he made it private.

I make no apologies about surfing white supremacist sites, because one has to know what your enemy is up to – especially with my family history, vigilance is a watchword. But you know, thanks for the implication – which in no way disrepects the memory of family, especially the ones who weren’t lucky enough to survive.

You should have gone further though – instead of “Herr” (which actually, considering my father’s Sudetan-Czech background, isn’t an insult), go with more obvious, something like Untersturmführer… this would have more effectively equated me with a Nazi, and really made a mockery of seminal event of my family’s history.

And, while I’m used to sarcasm being lost, calling Ready’s summary dismissal from the party a “mitzvah” should have been fairly obvious.

The Phoenix New Times has run multiple stories on his affiliation with hate groups, running pictures of him at neo-Nazi rallies!!

Ready distributed neo-Nazi literature at a GOP meeting, for crying out loud!

I am disgusted by this. And no, Jeff Richards, it is most assuredly NOT obvious that nobody condones a neo-Nazi in the GOP ranks.

Not when they have known for months who this person is and failed to do anything about it.

Not when congressional leaders have asked for an admittedly symbolic gesture to remove him and the Republican Party Chairman refuses to do so.

And not when elected GOP officials like Trish Groe applaud him for his cowardice.

Also, Herr Klute, I guess you regularly surf New Saxon? For you to attribute Husband with knowledge of Ready’s profile on the site assumes that Husband surfs New Saxon on a regular babsis…you must make that assertion because that’s your daily habit. I think we can all safely assume we have NO knowledge of what’s on rascist websites since we’re all not rascists and we have no interest in what rascists have to say.

The question is…if the Congressmen knew a year ago that Ready was speaking to neo-Nazis, why didn’t they write Husband then?

Just wow.

Yeah, it’s a publicity stunt by the ever shrinking GOP Congressional Caucus, but… Is Husband really saying that he knew about Ready’s Nazi affiliations and has done nothing about it – and the reason he’s unwilling to do anything about it now is because “well, his term’s almost over and we can’t give Ready a fair hearing?”.

What more evidence is Husband looking for to prove Ready’s a Nazi? Is his profile at New Saxon and him marching under a banner and speaking at a rally not enough?

And as for giving Ready a fair hearing, my mother and grandmother never got a fair hearing either before they were sent off in a boxcar to the camps, so hey, JT could get a small taste of what it was like. A mitzvah, if you will.

Ask me again why I’m not a republican.

I’m guessing that efforts to remove Ready should have started, at the latest, in Jan. when he was distributing neo-Nazi lit at party meeting. But if removing him would require a costly recall election since he was a duly elected PC…..is it REALLY worth the cost? Yeah, yeah, I get it, he’s a rascist…but what would be the cost to recall him. I’ll admit, the election would ONLY have to be held among registered Republicans in one rinky-dink precinct, but for gosh sakes, the County Recorder would have to be involved, there’s also mailings and campaign materials to print and mail….

To “I’m in Trouble,” come on, read between the lines. The REASON why both sides are putting everything in letters is because they want it on the record that they’re all opposed to Ready. If someone accuses either side of supporting Ready, they can whip out their handy little letter “proving” that they’re anti-Ready.
