FRC's Tony Perkins' ties to White Supremacists Still Unmentioned In News Reports

The Council of Conservative Citizens (CofCC) is suddenly big news, and for good reason. In a manifesto unearthed in the wake of the horrific Charleston, SC massacre, suspect Dylann Roof credits CofCC with radicalizing him into a white supremacy belief system.

Blogger Joe Jervis was quick to connect Dot A to Dot B: "Charleston Mass Murderer Researched The Same White Supremacist Group Once Addressed By FRC President Tony Perkins."

Tony Perkins paid David Duke
$82,600 for his mailing list in 1996.
Jervis previously had broken the story of Tony Perkins being fined by the Federal Election Commission. It isn't the crime, it's the coverup, you see. There's nothing illegal about buying a campaign mailing list for $82,600 from Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. But it is illegal to lie to the FEC about who you bought your list from, hence Perkins paid his FEC fine.

Hot on the trail of Council of Conservative Citizens and their friends in politics is The Daily Beast. When I saw "The Council Of Conservative Citizens And The Politicians Who Pander To Them" I was hopeful that it was finally "#HoodsOff" moment for Tony Perkins. I hoped his not-too-distant ties to the white supremacy movement would finally gain at least a passing mention in the national, mainstream media.

The Daily Beast documents many who have in some manner been tied to or expressed sympathy for the Council of Conservative Citizens and their white supremacist ideas. The Daily Beast mentions by name: then-Arkansas Lt. Governor Mike Huckabee, GOP Majority leader Trent Lott, Mississippi governor Haley Barbour, Congressman Bob Barr, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, author and activist Ann Coulter. (emphasis added)

But alas, once again, conspicuously missing is the giant of the Christian right activism: Family Research Council (FRC) president Tony Perkins. It is hard to see by what criteria Tony Perkins' ties to Council of Conservative Citizens are excluded from being mentioned by The Daily Beast; long-forgotten Trent Lott and professional clown troll Ann Coulter are deemed relevant. Perkins is certainly at least as influential as anyone in GOP politics. Also Perkins' speaking appearance at Council for Conservative Citizens in 2001 is more recent than many who are mentioned.
