OKLAHOMA GOVERNOR CANDIDATE’S WHITE SUPREMACIST TIES DETAILED

    

March 10, 2010 Typically, a candidate for public office tries to maintain a certain image, especially when they want to be the Republican governor of a state. Yet Oklahoma State Senator Randy Brogdon, who is competing with Congresswoman Mary Fallin for the Republican nomination this year, doesn’t appear to mind being closely associated with a domestic terrorist suspect accused of raping a seven-year-old girl, a controversial gun rights advocate known for rallying neo-Nazis and Aryans, and a Louisiana-transplanted pastor that is preaching for groups advocating race separation.

 

Brogdon, age 56 of Owasso, was first elected to the Oklahoma State Senate in 2002. Since that time he has gained a reputation for being a staunch conservative, who concentrates on gun and states rights, while associating with paranoid conspiracy fanatics Rep. Charles Key and Rep. Mike Ritze.  

 

He has a high school diploma and a certificate in air conditioning repair. He is a member of the Woodlake Assembly of God and the American Society of Heating Refrigeration and Air Conditioning. 

 

CHARLES DYER –   On July 4, 2009 at a Broken Arrow, Oklahoma Tea Party Brogdon shared the stage with one Sgt. Charles Dyer. The event that featured speeches about states rights, the evilness that is the Federal Reserve, why home schooling is best, and stopping socialism also included a speech by Brogdon about taking the states back from the feds and another by YouTube sensation Charles Dyer, a/k/a the July4Patriot – a recently discredited Marine, who at the time was up on military charges of making disloyal statements against the country.

 

The Stephens County Sheriff’s Department took Brogdon’s panel member into custody on January 13, 2009 for suspicion of raping a seven-year-old girl in his Marlow, OK home. While gathering evidence for the alleged crime, deputies ran across a cache of weapons including a grenade launcher. The ATF was called in and soon charged Dyer with possession of destructive device. They also claim to have discovered a storage unit the July4Patriot leased where a bomb-sniffing dog found traces of explosives.

 

LARRY PRATT – The founder of Gun Owners of America, an extreme version of the NRA, is actually a frequent companion of Randy Brogdon. One appearance he made with the governor wannabe was at the November 7, 2009 gun rallies in Tulsa and Oklahoma City. This was to launch Brogdon’s Second Amendment website www.ok2a.com, which just so happens to share a website with a anti-abortion group.

 

Pratt was in 1996 the co-chairman of the Pat Buchanan for President Campaign. He was dismissed after a scandal arose that saw him caught attending and speaking at a 1993 Neo-Nazi rally in Colorado. He’s not much of a fan of Hispanics either, as he’s founded groups targeting them including English First and the U.S. Border Control. Pratt has helped to raise serious funds for the extremist organization Operation Rescue and to fight against gay rights.    

 

Pratt has written for the anti-Semitic United Sovereigns of America and donated substantial funds to an attorney’s group that represents white supremacists.  

 

PASTOR JASON MURPHY –  Just two days before the Broken Arrow Tea Party, Brogdon was one of two speakers for the Rally for the Declaration in Tulsa on July 2, 2009. The other speaker was Pastor Jason Murphy of the New Life Church in Owasso, OK. Murphy just happens to be involved in the Christian Identity and Racial Separation movement along with OK-SAFE and the Tea Party. He’s been involved with the British-Israelites, who believe Caucasians are the true Israelites, Jews are the offspring of Satan, and everyone else are Mud People. Also, Murphy is one of a small group of Patriot Pastors called the Black Robed Regiment, that includes Steve Kern and Paul Blair. That group was founded by failed presidential candidate Chuck Baldwin, who has often directed attacks at Dr. Martin Luther King and has been accused of anti-Semitism and racism.

 

During that Rally for the Declaration, that part about “All Men are Created Equal” must’ve been overlooked.

 

Two months after sharing the podium with Brogdon, Murphy was mixing with Charles Jennings, Ron Poch, and Ernstine Young at a Fall Conference at the Christian Identity Rose Hill Covenant Church in Tulsa.

 

Jennings believes (according to a brochure he put out) that God wants racial purity and segregation. He’s an avowed racist that calls blacks “Mud People” and believes God will punish America for allowing the “impure” Mud People to intermarry with the “pure” whites. Don’t even get him started on the Jews. 

 

Ron Poch if the Lord Covenant Church claims Anglo-Saxons are the lost Children of Israel, that the Jews are really Mongolians posing as Israelites, and that the White Race must be responsible for spreading the word.

 

Ernstine Young used to pastor a white separatist church in Idaho closely associated with militias and domestic terror groups.
