SHOCK AS SPENCER LOSES "TEXAN OF THE YEAR" AWARD TO JEWISH POLITICIAN

Following his nomination late last year, "Alt-Right leader" Richard Spencer looked like a shoo-in for the Dallas Morning News's "Texan of the Year" award. The Newspaper annually chooses the Texan whom they consider to have had the biggest impact -- either negative or positive -- on the news cycle in the preceding year.

But despite Spencer's involvement in one of the biggest news stories of the year -- the trials and tribulations of the Alt-Right following the Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally -- he lost out to the current Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives, Joe Straus, who, by comparison, has had a rather quiet year.. 

What makes this defeat more galling is that Straus ticks two of Spencer's "pet hate" boxes,  as he is not only Jewish but also the worst kind of GOP cuckservative, even disagreeing with Trump's Muslim travel ban, among other things.

This is yet another glaring example that the legacy media cannot be trusted to be objective about even the most obvious things, as Spencer was clearly a much bigger story than Straus.

It seems that in this case, the decision was made under pressure from the Jewish Supremacist organisation the ADL. In fact, the Dallas Morning News even published a letter strongly hinting at this. 

In the letter, titled "Stand against white supremacy," Cheryl Drazin, Far North Dallas, Regional Director of the ADL spewed the usual mixture of false narratives and hateful projection:

"The Dallas Morning News Editorial Board is correct in its assertion that a person's impact can be either positive or negative. Spencer's goal is to attract young, educated whites to the white supremacist movement. Spencer's influence is entirely negative, and we should never overlook the impact of those who speak out against his rhetoric. 2017 was a year in which many people exposed hate, called out bigotry and refused to allow the hate that Spencer spews to become normalized.

Locally, we have seen tremendous examples of direct rebukes to Spencer's bigotry. Spencer's St. Mark's classmates protested him by crowdsourcing to raise funds to resettle refugees. After unknowingly hosting Spencer's National Policy Institute, Brinker International Restaurants' Maggiano's donated the evening's profits to fight discrimination.

These bold reactions also carry impact; impact that resonates more broadly than Spencer's vitriol. As we enter a new year, let's work together to alter the adage that "we will accept the things that we cannot change" to "we will change the things that we cannot accept." White supremacy is something that we cannot accept. Please join the good fight and stand up to hate."

The fact that the Dallas Morning News published this clearly manipulative letter is a dog-whistle signal to their readers that their arm was severely twisted in this instance by the ADL. Maybe next year, Richard.

SPENCER THE FAVOURITE TO WIN "TEXAN OF THE YEAR" AWARD

Richard Spencer, the originator of the term "Alt-Right" and the man most frequently cited as the "leader of the Alternative Right" (although many would disagree) has been honoured by his native state of Texas by being included as a finalist for "Texan of the Year." 

This is a title bestowed every year by the Dallas Morning News, a newspaper that chooses the Texan considered to have the biggest impact over the past year. Although born in Boston in 1978, Spencer grew up in Dallas, Texas, and is therefore considered a Texan.

Spencer has a good chance of winning, as reported by Newsweek, which really, really doesn't like the idea:

Over the past year, the Dallas native has succeeded in bringing white nationalism into the public eye and almost making it look mainstream. It’s this high visibility and savvy public relations campaign that allowed him to make the list of Texan of the Year finalists.

“The alt-right emerged from the world of online trolling. They are continuing this trolling tactic to sway different polls to create the appearance that their radical positions are, in fact, gaining popularity with mainstream whites,” Dr. Randy Blazak, a sociology professor who studies white nationalism, told Newsweek.

Spencer himself would reject labels like Nazi, racist, or white supremacist, and prefers to call himself an “identitarian.” But the goals of white “identitarians” and white supremacists are hard to differentiate.

“This country does belong to white people, culturally, politically, socially, everything. We defined what America is,” he told a crowd in Texas in December 2016.

“Richard Spencer’s clean-cut appearance conceals a radical white separatist whose goal is the establishment of a white ethno-state in North America. His writings and speeches portray this as a reasonable defense of Caucasians and Eurocentric culture,” notes the Southern Poverty Law Center.

“In Spencer’s myopic worldview, white people have been ‘dispossessed’ by a combination of rising minority birth rates, immigration and government policies he abhors.”

The Newsweek article noticeably fails to mention who the other finalists are, showing once again what an inferior "news" publication it is, although this could also be due to the fact that the other finalists are complete nobodies. 

All except for, Johnnie Langendorff and Stephen Willeford, the two brave men who successfully chased Texas Church Shooter and unassimilated Irishman, Devin Kelley to his death and who also rightfully make the list.

Killer Kelley and his Texas nemesis Langerdorff.

Although this heroic action was admirable, it is hard to see how it can be considered as having a "bigger impact" than the actions of Spencer, who has played a leading role in the main new political movement in the West in the last few years, namely the Alt-Right. For this reason, Spencer must be considered the favourite to win.
