• Shawna Forde, Alleged Kid Killer, Extremist, Phoenix Tea Party Attendee, and Ghost of Tea Parties Future

  Shawna Forde, MAD-woman, Tea Partier, alleged murderer... A Petri dish of right wing insanity and goofiness. That was my impression of the April 15 Tea Party that took place on the grounds of the Arizona state capitol and drew thousands in a mass fit of anti-Obama rage. Sure, not everyone there was a complete moon-howling loon. (After all, I was there.) But I would say that a good 70 to 80 percent of those present were about a nut short of a PayDay bar. Don't get me wr

• More Shawna Fordes in the Making? Violent Rhetoric and Unbalanced Actions from Phoenix Nativists

  Dennis Gilman asks the timely question: Which racist nativist will pop off next? My June 22 post last week on alleged kid-killer and minutewoman Shawna Forde received a number of comments from the immigrant-bashing side of the argument accusing me of painting their prejudiced movement with too broad of a brush. These dull-witted rednecks complain that they are "patriots" -- a word devalued by its very presence on their lips. And they whine that they are in no way represented by the

• Shawna Forde Associate a Former Pima County Sheriff's Deputy in Training?

  The Norwegian video interview of Shawna Forde and a fella by the name of Todd Hezlitt Someone recently sent me a link to the blog Immigration Talk with a Mexican American, which in turn links to the blog Crooks & Liars and a Norwegian news video featuring the infamous Shawna Forde of Minuteman American Defense. You'll recall Forde as the right-wing wacko who's alleged to have home-invaded an Arivaca dwelling looking to rob the place, and ending by killing a nine year-old girl and her father.

• Neo-Nazi J.T. Ready Speaks at Phoenix Tea Party Event, as Does Tasered Tempe Pastor Steven Anderson

  J.T. Ready at the Phoenix Tea Party July 4, 2009 These uber right wing Tea Parties continue to be a magnet for extremists and crazy folk of all stripes. Though I wasn't able to make the recent hate-Obama rally that took place July 4 at the Arizona state Capitol, I have since discovered from info provided from some pals that none other than local neo-Nazi J.T. Ready spoke at the event. More than one source has identified the Ready -- the Ernst Rohm of the East Valley -- as addressing the cr

• Prosecutors Pursue Death Penalty for Three Nativists Who Killed Father and 9-Year Old on U.S.-Mexico Border

  Shawna Forde​Looks like our nativist cover-girl Shawna Forde and two others could get the death penalty for their roles in the murder of a man and his 9-year old daughter during an Arivaca home invasion earlier this year. Deputy Pima County attorney Kellie Johnson announced yesterday that she'd filed a notice on Monday to seek the death penalty for Forde, Jason E. Bush and Albert R. Gaxiola. The three are accused of forcing their way into the home of Raul Junior Flores dressed as law enf

  Shawna Forde gets a little help from her pal, nativist Wiccan Laine Lawless​Just when you think the nativists have sunk to a new low, they limbo right down into the gutter a little lower. In this case, it's our old pal, Wiccan wackjob Laine Lawless (real name, Roberta Dill), known for her love of the bullwhip, her lesbian fanfiction featuring Lucy Lawless, and her penchant for barbecuing the Mexican tricolor, all of which I chronicled in a February 2007 feature about Lawless entitled, "Burn, B
