Please Support Hoax Hunter Central, WEJB/NSU!
On February 21, in honor of hate crime hoaxer Jussie Smollett, “The Race Hoax Handbook: Twelve Steps to Bigger, Better, Race Hoaxes.”
That was 14 days shy of the 18th anniversary of the Handbook’s original publication. But that wasn’t my first work on hate crime hoaxes. Circa 1992, I published a review of Outrage, a 1990 book on the Tawana Brawley Hoax by a team of New York Times reporters, in my magazine, A Different Drummer.
Since then, I can’t count how hate crime and rape hoaxes I’ve exposed.

I thank you, and your posterity will, too!
Sincerely,

GRA:The libs are at it again--want to remove John Wayne's name from a California airport,
John Wayne's son defends his father over remarks in 1970s interview

Outrage after actor's decades-old interview resurfaces 02:46
(CNN) — John Wayne's son defended his father amid calls to remove the movie icon's name from a California airport after controversial quotes from 1971 resurfaced.
"It would be an injustice to judge someone based on an interview that's being used out of context," Ethan Wayne told CNN's Michael Smerconish on "Smerconish" Saturday. "They're trying to contradict how he lived his life, and how he lived his life was who he was. So, any discussion of removing his name from the airport should include the full picture of the life of John Wayne and not be based on a single outlier interview from half a century ago."
In the Playboy interview, the star made disparaging remarks against black, gay and Native American people.
"I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility," he said. He used an anti-gay slur to describe films he considered "perverted" and said Native Americans "were selfishly trying to keep (the US) for themselves."
Referring to the anti-gay slur, Ethan Wayne said his father "used a terrible word, no doubt about it."
"But he used it not in the context of an individual's sexuality. He used it in the context of the changing landscape of the motion picture business, something that distressed him," Ethan Wayne said. "My father worked in Hollywood for 50 years, and Hollywood is probably, you know, one of the most progressive and diverse communities on Earth. He didn't care what race, gender, sexual orientation you were. He cared how well you did your job. He took everyone at face value."
Los Angeles Times columnist Michael Hiltzik wrote a column encouraging John Wayne Airport south of Los Angeles be renamed after the interview resurfaced. He told Smerconish that Orange County has changed dramatically since the 1970s.
It was a "hive of rock-ribbed, conservative Republicanism that was exemplified in fact by the political views of John Wayne. That Orange County does not exist anymore," Hiltzik said.(GRA:That's for sure,Wayne would probably not want to be associated with California at all,if he was around today).
"The views that he expressed in 1971, I think, were extremist even for 1971. That was not a prehistoric period. ... The civil rights movement was at high tide," Hiltzik said.
GRA:So rename it,"Pancho Villa Airport"--and be done with it or shut up.These instances are reported for one reason:The communist/immigrant/liberals view stories like this as a "liberal teaching moment",in which white Conservatives are shown what will happen if you publicly air(or have aired)similar viewpoints--you will be punished.It's behavior modification by example--a method we see over and over again with Roseanne,Papa John and mamy more.
