“Russell Pearce has embraced the white supremacist movement in
Arizona and they’ve embraced him back,” Mesa Deserves Better Chairman Nathan Sproul said.

“Voters judge candidates by the company they keep, and it’s clear that Russell Pearce associates with some of the most racist individuals in our state,” Sproul said.

“The jew (sic) is a two-legged cancer which corrupts and putrefies
all that is natural an (sic) noble upon this earth. Like a person who cuts out a cancer from their body and casts it into the fire to live and become healthy, to obtain a healthy society people must likewise castigate and expell (sic) the perfidious jew (sic) from all of our nations in order to save humanity from death and decay."

White supremacist organization White Knights of America speaks highly of Pearce

The White Knights of America, a White supremacist group, features photos of Ready and Pearce on their Web site, and touts Pearce as, “an American Patriot to the core…” and Ready as a “well-informed activist.” http://www.whiteknightsofamerica.com/id5.html; http://www.whiteknightsofamerica.com/id7.html

On their Web site, the White Knights of America write:

“The Zionists are not our only enemies, however. To profess the
Zionists to be so would be pure rhetoric. Without various other cohorts in this plot, the Zionists would not, will not, stand a chance to thwart our freedom. We, therefore, define our enemies as such: Any secular or religious government, institution, group or individual, in whole or in part, that assist in thwarting the Nordic Cause: to secure the existence of our People and a future for White Children.”

“Why do all major Christian leaders, from Billy Graham to the Pope, promote genocide of the White Race by encouraging inter-racial marriage?” http://www.whiteknightsofamerica.com
