Robert Vandervoort, head of the English-only group ProEnglish, thanked the Conservative Political Action Committee Thursday for not giving in to "leftist thugs" who criticized its annual conference for featuring so-called white nationalist Peter Brimelow.
"I applaud CPAC for standing up to the leftist thugs who tried to shut down this panel," said Vandervoort at the beginning of the event, which aimed to argue why English should be the official language nationwide.
"The Failure of Multiculturalism: How the Pursuit of Diversity is Weakening the American Identity" drew ire, particularly from a liberal blog (RightWingWatch.org), for including the author and founder of VDARE.com. The Southern Poverty Law Center has called the site a "white nationalist hate group" for hosting white supremacist writers like Kevin MacDonald and including blog posts like "How to Sell a Used Car to African Americans."
