Sam Francis: A ‘brillant’ and ‘brave’ ‘racist’

Late last month, we marked the death of the Wash Times’ Sam Francis, whom one writer described as “America’s leading racist intellectual.” Today the WT follows-up with an inexplicable brief further memorializing Francis in the words of TN Rep. John J. “Jimmy” Duncan Jr.:

“He was politically incorrect on almost everything, which made him right on most things, but also very controversial. He was a leading critic of neo-conservatives, Big Government conservatives who really are not very conservative at all…. Sam Francis did not believe in world government and multiculturalism. He was a patriotic American who put his own country first and was a brilliant and brave writer.”

Our tipster this morning wrote, “Wash Times will never speak ill of a dead racist.” Given the oddness and randomness of today’s item and last month’s Southern Poverty Law Center’s expose, one does have to wonder what’s going on in the heads of the WT editors.
