More political info on Ken Meyercord

According to his Meetup.com profile, Ken Meyercord, a famed Fairfax County Holocaust denier... er revisionist... and only guy to get trounced in an election where he was running unopposed, has some profound political interests. Apparently, everyone's favorite bigot is really into "Ron Paul campaigns, Dennis Kucinich, and Ralph Nader."

I wonder if these meetings entail reading over Ron Paul's racist literature that the libertarians dismiss as "just a phase" while talking about how Nader blames the poor design of the Corvair on those pesky Jews.

In addition, Meyercord also apparently likes badmitton.

Virginia man runs unopposed... and loses

An odd story from Fairfax County where a guy named Ken Meyercord was running for an elected position on a quasi-governmental board. The at-large position was open and Ken Meyercord was on the ballot unopposed. But the strangest thing happened to this guy... he lost!

That's right... An unopposed candidate lost the election. How did this happen you ask? Well, it turns out that nobody seemed to realize that Meyercord was a certifiable nutcase. For example, he goes to great pains to clarify that he is a Holocaust "revisionist" and not a Holocaust "denier." According to Meyercord, there was no Final Solution and there most certainly, absolutely positively were never any gas chambers used to kill Jews. All the records, eyewitness testimony and those gas chambers that people can visit at Aushwictz are certainly all just part of the grand worldwide Jewish conspiracy and not actually real occurances in history.

But we really can't blame Ken Meyercord. His wife apparently is a Palestinian so perhaps Meyercord is basing his research on all those historically accurate Hamas-published textbooks?

But back to the election... How did Meyercord lose to nobody? Well, apparently the local community felt that a bigotted Holocaust denier... er revisionist... may not make the best judge of little community items such as facts and figures and witness statements. So after reading about Meyercord's amazing display of tolerance and historical knowledge the day of the election, they organized a write-in campaign with evidentally two others being pushed into the race. The result:

Colin Mills: 1,157
Tammie Petrine: 1,010
Ken Meyercord: 23

For those of you counting at home, that's a little more than 1 percent of all votes cast. According to WUSA, this might have set a record for the smallest percentages of votes won by a candidate running unopposed.

For all the recent maligning of the Washington Post, the people of Fairfax County owe that paper for doing its job and informing the community about this issue.

Nice video made for the Modern Whig Party

Mainstream editorial yet again touts Modern Whig Party

Is there any question yet that the Modern Whigs are gaining significant traction? Seems like every Sunday has a political columnist stating how the Modern Whigs are extremely capable and proven at attracting disenchanted Republicans and moderate Democrats.

Times-Standard of Eureka, CA

Another Modern Whig event

There was a video lifted from the Florida Whig Party site. But it looks like they took it down. Apparently, the meeting time is being changed at the request of the national party chairman, whatever that means. Now it looks like this event will be at 8 pm, which actually makes a lot more sense for us who work until 7 and those in other places. Looking forward to it!

Daily Kos injects Modern Whigs into GOP situation

The liberal-leaning Daily Kos crafted a satirical article about the Republican Party saying goodbye to the public. As a sign of the times, the article included a sentence stating "This is merely what we've experienced over the six months that we've ceased to be relevant to American politics. We thought maybe by sharing, something positive could be gained for the Modern Whig Party, our anointed successors."

While this is a satire, the real news here is that the trend toward recognition of the Modern Whig Party in regard to the current GOP situation is continuing. Countless blogs and established political sites -- from the right and left -- more and more find it necessary to inject the Modern Whig Party phenomenon into the conversation.

Daily Whig makes excellent point

Check out the latest posting on the Daily Whig. The writer chimes in on the continued schism between the fiscally responsible/socially moderate Republicans and the hell-bent social conservatives. The opening for the Modern Whig Party is spot on.

As more and more Republicans get fed up with the ever-growing ideological split, and as common-sense is thrown out the door, people will continue to flock over to a moderate, non-fringe and viable option. And guess what? A bunch of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans already created such a party.
