The A3P replies to the New York Daily News and Huffington Post
Kevin MacDonald: The New York Daily News has reached a new low in journalistic propaganda with its article “New Hampshire State House Candidate Running On White Supremacist Platform” (July 13, 2010). The article purports to be a description of the candidacy of Ryan J. Murdough for the state senate in New Hampshire. The accompanying photo pictures a man with a swastika tattooed on his head giving a Nazi salute despite the fact that there is no connection at all between the photo and anyone in the American Third Position.
Daily News caption: A New Hampshire man (not pictured) is hoping to use racism and the support of a hate group to get elected as a Republican to the State House.
Similarly, a Huffington Post article on Murdough’s candidacy features a photo of a flag with a Swastika along with Nazi-style salutes–again, completely unrelated to anyone connected with the A3P (“New Hampshire State House Candidate Running On White Supremacist Platform”; July 13, 2010).

The Daily News article refers to the A3P as a “hate group,” and Mr. Murdough is characterized as “racist.” Like many other Americans, Mr. Murdough is concerned about the very rapid demographic changes engulfing the country. His comments reflect absolutely normal and legitimate concerns about the future of his people and his culture.
We reject labels such as “white supremacist” or “racist” that are routinely bestowed on assertions of White identity and interests as a means of muzzling their expression. In the vast majority of countries around the world, it is perfectly normal and legitimate for people to resist the invasion of other peoples. No one would suppose that, say, South Korea has a moral obligation to admit millions of non-Koreans so that native Koreans become a minority. Nor is there any moral imperative that they give up the primacy of Korean culture. No one would suppose that Koreans are being evil or “racist” for opposing the entry of millions of people unlike themselves–people who will be allowed to vote and compete for political power and other resources.
Our main concern is that this upheaval unleashed by massive non-White immigration opposes the legitimate interests of the European-descended peoples of the U.S. It’s not about hatred. It’s about seeing real conflicts of interest among different ethnic groups. Quite simply, massive non-White immigration is not in the interests of the vast majority of White Americans.
Murdough’s letter to the Concord Monitor expresses concern about the costs of diversity. Throughout the world, ethnically diverse societies are marked by ethnic conflict. No one has come up with a formula to get rid of ethnicity as a form of identity and as a vehicle of expressing interests. None seems on the horizon. Our vision of the future of America is that it is well on the road to becoming a cauldron of competing ethnic groups, with chronic divisions over issues like affirmative action, redistribution of wealth and the establishment of public goods like health care — any issue that may be seen as benefiting one ethnic group more than another.
Finally, the Daily News article grossly distorts the views of the directors of the A3P. We do not endorse “Nazi ideals” or simplistic, biologically reductionist theories of Judaism and Jewish influence. Questions related to the influence of various ethnic groups and conflicts of interest between different ethnic groups can be scientifically investigated. It is perfectly legitimate for any ethnic group, including White Americans, to identify the forces that oppose their interests and to act on that basis. A major aspect of ethnic activism for all other ethnic groups is to do just that. The Los Angeles Times reports that Latinos of all political parties oppose the Arizona immigration law and see White racism as the source of the opposition to legalizing millions of Latinos.
The fact that the great majority of White Americans feel they cannot identify as Whites or discuss their conflicts of interest with other ethnic groups is a completely unnatural state of affairs — the result of a prolonged assault on the legitimacy of these concepts by politically and ethnically motivated elites that have dominated public discourse on issues of race and ethnicity since before World War II and especially since the 1960s. Our purpose is to change that, and Mr. Murdough’s candidacy is a big step in that direction.
William D. Johnson: The articles would appear to meet the standard of “actual malice” against A3P required to prove libel. The American Third Position is exploring the possibility of a libel suit against the Huffington Post and New York Daily News.

Ignorant liberals are accustomed to using yellow journalism. The A3P can expect more baseless slander in the times to come.
It makes one wonder- whatever happened to the concept of reporting the news?
Meh, American media has historically been politically-uh…-engaged…
“simplistic, biologically reductionist theories of Judaism and Jewish influence"
You’re a master wordsmith Dr. MacDonald. Thank you for stepping forward to defend the A3P and setting the record straight .
When falsehood like this comes out we need to bombard their email and online comment lines with the truth, stated clearly and succinctly. It's time to stop being mad about their lies and start responding in kind.
Nice analogy and since we're being technical, White American's have no business being so anti-immigration in North America, since this land belonged, was stolen, from the Native American Indians. Founders of this group must have missed History class in grade school.
It wasn't stolen. It was conquered.
Which raises an important question. Since Whites did not "steal" this land from the Indians – we colonized it – why are our children being lied to about that fact in grade school history classes?
If you believe so, you are either a simpleton or a native. The latter being most likely due to the implication of your name. Being a native gives you good reason for being at odds with the occupation of your former land by whites. What you may fail to see beyond is that whites conquered your people and land which is not an isolated event in history, nations have been destroyed and conquered since the evolution of man. To say we do not own the land would mean the displacement of the inhabitants of most modern countries is justifiable, because they are clearly not the original inhabitants of the land. Throughout man’s history there has been conquering, there has been slavery, there has been genocide, plundering and rape. None of which are limited or even “created” by whites, these concepts have been around for as long as man has been, the Whites of European decent just happen to have been the most efficient at it. From the Roman Empire to British Empire and now to the American Empire, indeed whites in ancient, recent and contemporary history have dominated culture and have become the most preferable places to live due to our inherent civility. And to give you some
Every single aspect of your life that is more advanced than the Stone Age is a contribution of Whites. Without us, you'd be running around in a deer skin loin cloth with napped flint tools and only a few herbs for medicine. No power tools, no air conditioning, no pain killers, antibiotics, easily-learned writing system, no television, no firearms. Your ancestors fought each other for land grabs and empire building before Whites came to the New World. Your ancestors were only too happy to ask for White people to help them destroy their enemies and for as many "hi-tech" tools and weapons as they could trade for.
American aboriginal tribes have their own sovereign governments, are excused from paying taxes and being drafted, get to run wealth-generating casinos and split the profits, and receive free education, food stamps and welfare.
It's time to be grateful for all of the quid pro quo that you got and lay off of the "White men stole my grandpa's land and all I got was this lousy privileged lifestyle" whining.
Everything around you..every single thing…the computer in front of you the light bulb over your head, the food in the fridge and the medicine in the cabinet, the car, the bed, the
clothes and the heat and AC..all of it was provided by Whitey. Indians had been in North
America 30,000 years by the time Whitey arrived. For 30,000 years history of Indians was one of non stop tribal warfare, massacre of the weak, slavery, and of course day to day survival. In 200 years big bad Whitey built the entire world you know and take for granted.
You want your land back.. ?Okay fine. We will give you a square mile of dirt to sit on. Lets see how long you last
Native, your ancestors could never stop fighting amongst themselves long enough to decide to whom which portions of this land belonged. The greater number of Amerinds were killed and oppressed by their own in the course of endless power struggles and long-ranging turf wars – and that bloodshed and abuse would have never ceased were it not for the arrival and intervention of Whites. If you had any sense, you'd thank us for the civilization, order and prosperity we brought here.
This article is basically in line with all the rest of the Left-wing propaganda one reads and sees in the mainstream media. These picture of Nazis and the resulting reaction on the part of the public has been conditioned by years of Jewish lies and propaganda . It's like the dog experiment where you ring the bell before they eat ,eventually they'll start salivating at hearing just the bell. It's the same situation here. The leftest have only to associate anyone or group no matter how remote to "NAZIES" and it's supposed to automatically make every one start frothing at the mouth and wanting to tear them apart. People should see this trick for what it really is, and instead start getting angry at those who would try to manipulate public opinion based on lies.
Have you ever considered the fact that maybe the reason people don't like self-identify as white because of racists like Murdough? It's hard to take pride in one's traditions and history when someone else is promoting them through the hatred of others.
"Racist" is just a slur to shut down debate. Ryan Murdough hasn't promoted hatred of anyone. His letter to the editor (which is linked in the article) promotes looking out for White interests, not hate.
Some of the things he posted in the past on the Internet were crass. But they were TRUE. Blacks do have higher rates of crime and STDS, and Whites everywhere are getting sick of them crying racism.
It's true that some pro-White individuals also promote hatred for others, but that's not what the A3P is about. And besides, existence of organizations that promote hatred for Whites, such as National Council of La Raza and the New Black Panthers, doesn't stop Hispanics and Blacks from taking pride in their traditions and history.
So basically I don't think your post has any merit at all.
"Nice analogy and since we're being technical, White American's have no business being so anti-immigration in North America, since this land belonged, was stolen, from the Native American Indians. Founders of this group must have missed History class in grade school."
Whites didn't steal the land from the Indians. Indians only occupied about one percent of North America and were made up of nomadic tribes that fought against each other. There was no country at that time and as I said, the Indians were nomadic, so no land ownership. Later on, Whites did treat the Indians poorly and that was wrong. However, non-Whites everywhere were brutal, conquered others, enslaved others and were every bit as bad or worse than Whites. Unlike non-Whites who never tried to make up for their bad pasts, Whites have tried to make it up to the Indians. Do you really think the Indians will benefit from mass immigration into the USA because they won't. Mass immigration will hurt the American Indian also. These newcomers won't care one bit about Indians any more than they care about Whites.
humbleness, natives are not the walk in the park you and the media would have us believe. I have taken history, real history, not the bullshit you get “told” in high school. The natives, as you obviously know, belong to different tribes and or clans. Before whites arrived to conquer your land, your people were savage and relentless. It was common practice for your people to wait by another clan, and at night fall raid their settlement, you would kill the men, kill the children and rape the women. Believe me when I tell you, you have very little to be proud of.
We in Britain, especially in England have been getting this daily. The BNP (British National Party) are particularly having a bad time with prosecutions over nothing really.
I came across this site by accident and although I knew a little about the USA and 'diversity' I didn't realise it was this bad. In England there is definite discrimination against white males in particular.
I will sign up for emails and hopefully get more info: as it comes.
