Roy Moore's Foundation Received a $1,000 Donation from a Nazi Group in 2005

In 2005, the foundation run by Judge Roy Moore, now the Republican nominee for a Senate seat in Alabama, accepted a $1,000 donation from a group founded by Willis Carto, a white supremacist, Nazi supporter and World War II vet who famously said he regretted fighting for the U.S instead of Germany.

The Foundation to Defend the First Amendment is one of several nonprofit groups Carto used to shuffle money around to his anti-Semitic and racist conspiracy publications, to fund Holocaust deniers, and, apparently, to donate to Moore’s nonprofit. The Carto-founded group touts its support for Moore and his Foundation for Moral Law on its web site. The contribution to Moore’s group stands out as one of just a handful it has made to organizations not explicitly involved in Holocaust denial.

$1000 12 years ago? That's some reaching, right there. Any evidence the lurve was reciprocated?

They guy thinks homosexuality should be criminalized, blamed 9/11 on abortion, and thinks part of the US are under Sharia law. There's plenty of low hanging fruit without reaching up into the tree.

Alas, there are many contributors who channel money from behind a series of
innocent-sounding PACs and foundations, etc. A better example would be the MILLIONS channeled by George Soros (check out his Nazi past some time!) to Democratic candidates. For all we know, some of that money is being contributed to the man running against Roy Moore.

I don't think what Soros did was good by any measure, but he was a teenager and was trying not to be killed. I'm a lot more forgiving of that since he wasn't an adult. People do like to dredge it up though.

Not surprising, but at over ten years old, not sure it's worth mentioning.

How do you handle the fact that many years later when asked about his activities, he said that he didn't regret the nefarious activities he assisted in and, in fact, had fun doing them? Or that he is considered to be persona non grata by his home country even today for his current beliefs and activities?

Meh.

Small donation. Democrats routinely get donations from communist groups. Have you heard that Robert Byrd was a clan member?

If would like to discuss George Soros, feel free to start a thread on that topic, this thread is about Roy Moore.

You didn't win the prize, Albion beat you to it. He responded with a deflection by post #4.

I was fourteen years old. We were in great peril, but my father was seemingly in command of the situation. I was aware of the dangers because my father spent a lot of time explaining them to me but I did not believe in my heart of hearts that I could get hurt. We were pursued by evil forces and we were clearly on the side of the angels because we were unjustly persecuted; moreover, we were trying not only to save ourselves but also to save others. The odds were against us but we seemed to have the upper hand. What more could a fourteen-year-old want? I adored and admired my father. We led an adventurous life and we had fun together.

That quote?

You say people like to dredge up Carto, but he is dead. Soros is still doing his deeds. And Carto gave $1000 to a foundation, not to a political campaign, whereas Soros spends millions funding Democrat candidates and civil unrest.

If there is a concern that everyone ought to speak to the topic, that was an opportunity missed.

 

[AirPo]

If you are concerned that everyone speak to the topic, do that yourself.

Um, that's what he did.

Guilt by association seems a poor argument. Roy Moore has enough legitimate issues to focus on.

 

[Albion]

Right. Especially when the association, as in this case, is so faint.
