Investigation of U.S. naval officer for racism [Peace and war, Racism and anti-racism] — Administrator @ 8:03 pm

USS Carl Vinson

From Wikinews:

US Naval officer temporarily relieved for “possible supremacist activities”

March 31, 2007

On March 7, 2007, the US Navy has relieved Lieutenant Commander John F. Sharpe of his duties pending an investigation into allegations that he was involved in supremacist activities.

Sharpe served as public affairs officer for the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, which is currently undergoing repairs in Newport News, Virginia.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) says Sharpe runs the Legion of St. Louis and IHS Press, organizations that allegedly espouse anti-Semitic views.

Apparently, Lieutenant Commander John F. Sharpe, on the far Right fringe of Roman Catholicism, like Mel Gibson, has links to infamous Republican politician and neo nazi David Duke.

If, instead of being a racist, Sharpe would have been gay, he would probably not have become a sailor of the lowest rank, let alone a Lieutenant Commander.
