We have learned that the Nazi White Supremacist Stormfront organization is promoting an event on Saturday, February 13 in Washington DC, sponsored by the “American Free Press” “hate group”, described by the Anti-Defamation League as “a virulently anti-Semitic group.” Disgraced former Congressman James Traficant is scheduled to speak at the “American Free Press” “hate group” event on February 13 in Washington DC.  Convicted criminal James Traficant served a seven-year prison sentence for racketeering and bribery.

Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) has confirmed that this event will be held at the Capitol Skyline Hotel on February 13, in our discussions with the hotel. The Capitol Skyline Hotel is at 10 I Street SW, Washington, DC, 20024, near the Navy Yard Metro Stop.

We urge you to contact the Capitol Skyline Hotel and POLITELY express your objections at their hosting this hate group’s conference at the Capitol Skyline. Its main telephone number is 202-349-1559; the fax number is 202-488-0790. We also urge you to contact their sales department at 202-349-1559 (email: sales@capitolskyline.com) and their conference organizer, Leann Charpentier at 202-488-7500 x7151 (email: lcharpentier@capitolskyline.com) to educate them about the “hate group” history of the “American Free Press” group.

The “American Free Press” was created by Willis Carto and others from the defunct hate publication “The Spotlight.” The Spotlight provided columns for the writing of white supremacist terrorist James Von Brunn who attacked the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in June 2009, and who murdered black security guard Stephen Tyrone Johns.  The American Free Press has also quoted terrorist Von Brunn as an “investigator.”   Stormfront, which is promoting the February 13 DC event for “American Free Press” and James Traficant, has recently had its members praising Von Brunn’s June 2009 terrorist attacks as the acts of a “martyr.”

On November 2, 2009, the Anti-Defamation League reported that “Former Ohio Congressman Jim Traficant gave a lengthy interview in the November 2, 2009 issue of American Free Press (AFP), a virulently anti-Semitic newspaper, in which he reinforced his own anti-Semitic views. He explained that the newspaper was the only print media to which he has granted an interview since the completion of a seven-year prison sentence for racketeering and bribery. Traficant has also decided to contribute a weekly column to AFP.”

“Traficant gave a ringing endorsement to the anti-Semitic publication, and he encouraged others to read it ‘if they want to know what is truly happening in our government.’ Traficant outlined his views on a number of issues during the interview, published as an eight-page insert. He defended Jon Demjanjuk, accused of serving as a guard at the Sobibor concentration camp during World War II. Traficant, who has long supported Damjanjuk, alleged in the interview that Demjanjuk ‘was taken prisoner by the Nazis’ and forced to act as a guard “under the threat of death.” Traficant has announced plans to travel to Germany to defend the accused Nazi guard.”
