White nationalists upset that the Republican party keeps adopting their racist ideas without giving them credit. Oh that's gotta hurt!

Courtesy of Right Wing Watch:

The white nationalist website VDARE is once again demanding credit for an idea that it has been championing for years that has now gone mainstream in the GOP.

Last year, we reported that VDARE writer John Derbyshire (formerly of the National Review) was annoyed that prominent Republicans were failing to credit racist VDARE writer Steve Sailer when they advocated a plan nearly identical to the ‘Sailer Strategy’: that is, the idea that the GOP can only survive by solidifying and growing its white base while alienating people of color. Sailer had been persistently advocating this tactic for over a decade when it suddenly came into vogue among conservatives who opposed the Gang of Eight’s immigration reform plan.

Now, another VDARE writer is upset that more and more immigration reform opponents are pushing another VDARE argument without giving the white nationalists credit. This time, the argument is that steady or increased legal immigration – with or without a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrations – will ruin the Republican party because immigrants are inherently liberal.

In a post on Friday, VDARE writer James Fulford highlights a recent study from the Center for Immigration Studies which argues that Republicans shouldn’t bother with immigration reform because immigrants will inevitably vote for Democrats. Fulford complains that neither the CIS report nor the conservative outlets covering it “manages to credit Peter Brimelow or VDARE.com for saying all this early and often, possibly because it they're scared of Media Matters and the SPLC.” As he notes, VDARE has been pushing the argument since as early as 2001.

Don'tcha hate it when somebody steals all of your good ideas, and doesn't give you credit for them so that they won't be mocked for associating with you?

Of course even without the direct association it has been clear for quite some time that the GOP has become more and more racist as of late. Especially the Tea Party faction who might just as well attend sessions of Congress in white robes and pointy hats.

By the way I happened to bop on over to the VDARE website just to take a look around, and the headline at the top of the page reads:

The Toxic Loves of Jeb Bush: Amnesty and Crony Capitalism

"Crony capitalism" now where I have been hearing that word bandied about for the last few years?

Yeah, but it probably doesn't mean anything though, right?
