    Rand paul has a white supremacist on his staff who runs around calling himself the southern avenger . his real name is jack hunter and wears a wrestler mask with the stars and bars. you can Google his specific views but one thing he does is celebrate john wilkes booth birthday every year.

    You think a us senator having a white supremacist on his staff isn't thread worthy. a guy who had to relieve another white supremacist from his staff when he was elected whose father had to drop out the presidential race because of racist publications attributed to him? This guy. was also the ghost writer for rand paul's book

    have you turned into a McCarthy-style investigative hunter on a mission to find all racists in society?

    How about you start looking at the new black panthers and Quannel to start your process

    Jack Hunter isn't a white supremacist.

    Also, what do you have against capital letters and coherent sentences?

    I'm sorry you don't want to accept that Rand Paul has a racist working for him. But there is evidence that that is what's happening.

    His mission? I don't think he has a mission other than being the media guy for Rand Paul. Southern avenger is a stupid nickname he adopted as a radio gimmick in the 90s, but just because he uses the word "southern" doesn't mean he's a racist.

    Here's his bio from his website:

    Jack Hunter began his punditry career in the late 1990’s when a friend and popular alternative rock disc jockey agreed to let Jack air his political views during the afternoon drive on 96 Wave (96.1 WAVF) in Charleston, South Carolina.

    Creating the moniker the “Southern Avenger,” which was borrowed from popular 90’s conservative talk radio host Ken “The Black Avenger” Hamblin, Jack assumed an anonymous super hero/ pro-wrestler persona, and entertained FM rock audiences with his antics and conservative political views until his departure from 96 Wave in 2007.

    In 2007, Jack began working for WTMA 1250 AM talk radio in Charleston and began writing a column for the Charleston City Paper, that city’s premiere alternative weekly. Jack also began producing his popular video podcasts around this time, and today his You Tube Channel has received over two million views. Today, you can find Jack’s videos and columns as part of “TAC TV” at The American Conservative magazine (www.amconmag.com).

    Jack is a frequent guest host for The Mike Church Show on Sirius/XM’s Patriot channel and is a frequent guest on “The Savage Nation” with nationally syndicated talk radio host Michael Savage. His writing has appeared at The American Spectator, Lewrockwell.com, CampaignforLiberty.com and in Young American Revolution, the official magazine of the youth activist organization Young Americans for Liberty, to which he is also a contributing editor. Jack also assisted Sen. Rand Paul with his book The Tea Party Goes to Washington, released by Center Street in February, 2011.

    Here's his statement on the recent fit-throwing by white liberals:

    http://www.southernavenger.com/uncategorized/my-statement-on-recent-attacks/

    Say the man is a moron and that you disagree with him on everything. Say that you don't respect him because he started his media career as an entertainer. Say that you find his voice annoying (cuz it is). That's all fine. Personally, I don't much care for his work myself. But to throw around words like "white supremacist" is irresponsible.

    Again, we see his comments from the 2000's and they are white supremacist comments.

    Yeah, I didn't understand why he'd say that. But it is a white supremacist thing to say. That's right in with their M.O.

    Without context and not knowing a whole hell of a lot about him, it's hard to say exactly what he meant by those quotes. But I'll give it a shot.

    Booth - was probably in reference to being against Lincoln's union, and Hunter's statement had nothing to do with slavery.

    Racial double standard - you've heard this before. Foolish or not, I don't think it necessarily makes one a white supremacist.

    Non-white majority - don't really know about that one. But if that could be used as evidence of his white supremacy, then this could be used as evidence that he's not a white supremacist.

    Why would you defend the guy without knowing him? I don't want to get into a social commentary but what would make you do that. paul already had to relieve himself of a white supremacist. He has a history.
