Still reeling from Barack Obama's win last November, right-wing extremists were dealt another blow when former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele was elected to become the first African-American chairman of the Republican National Committee.
Six months after being called out by the Intelligence Report for publishing xenophobic falsehoods in a widely distributed booklet about immigration, the American Legion quietly removed the most egregious inaccuracies from a new version of its report.
The law enforcement careers of two white supremacists ended abruptly in separate cases last January when one was forced to resign and the other was sentenced to prison on drug charges.
