Most people run for political office because they have ideas for making the lives of citizens better, which they want to implement. One man in Kentucky is running for the office of U.S. senate simply so that he can post political campaign signs denouncing Jews.

Robert Ransdell is the man filled with hate. Although he is an independent candidate in the Kentucky race for U.S. senate, he told a local television news station that he knows he cannot beat the incumbent, Republican Mitch McConnell, or the contender for the Democrats, Alison Lundergan Grimes. Nope. He just wants to use the campaign to spread his slogan of hatred, “With Jews We Lose.”

Ransdale has made and posted several videos describing what is behind his slogan.

But there is another agenda Ransdell isn’t sharing in his campaign signs. If one (don’t bother, please) looks through his videos this throwback in Jew Hatred also has pre-civil rights era views about another segment of the population. This one is blacks, whom he describes as “a race of savages in a white nation.” Ransdell is calling for white unity against blacks. And he is pretty shockingly forthcoming about his views.

Ransdell – who says he speaks for lots of people who won’t say it publicly – blames the Jewish-controlled media and their “white traitor” abettors for pretending there is equality in this nation. But he says there isn’t. According to Ransdell, “There are race differences, equality does not exist. Blacks are more pre-disposed to criminal behavior, no matter what is their economic situation.”

And he is contemptuous of the response from the “establishment.” Enough dealing with symptoms, Rensdell is calling for the creation of a “White Guard,” a phalanx of white men who will protect “our women and children.”

The “candidate” said he has already put up 20 “With Jews We Lose” signs along various roads and highways in northern Kentucky, and he plans to post 200 more soon.

Although there were complaints to the television station which first posted the story, Ransdell says  he received lots of positive feedback.

“Online we have had a lot of positive feedback. Like I said we’re going to find out what kind of feedback we get once we go out and take it to the people here in the state of Kentucky,” Ransdell said.

There is one legal technicality which would enable diligent officials to remove the Ransdell’s hate messages. The only requirement for political signs in Kentucky is that they include the words “paid for by” and the name and address of who paid. There is no address on the signs posted thus far.

Perhaps it is for that reason that at least some of the signs were gone the day after the story first ran, Tuesday, Sept. 17.

But judging by the comments posted to the WLWT story, Ransdell’s message is not unwelcome. Some were supportive simply because they are free speech purists, but others still believe Jews “own the media,” while others expand their resentment towards Jews who also control “US policy in finance, War and mass media/entertainment.”

Ransdell proclaims that “the time for basic lying is over, now we start to name the Jew, stand up for our people, and we win!”

Yes, he’s an outlier and looks and sounds like a nut. Still, it is hard to believe that in 2014 people feel comfortable posting campaign signs for national office with slogans like “With Jews We Lose,” and calling for the creation of a White Guard movement.
