From another thread:
Illinois Republican Party Chairman Pat Brady issued the following statement:
The Illinois Republican Party disavows any association with the candidacy of Arthur Jones and ask that all citizens of Illinois do the same. His views and previous statements are repugnant and his candidacy should not and will not be supported in any way by the Illinois Republican Party. Unfortunately, pathetic and ignorant human beings like Arthur Jones still exist - my sympathies are with the members of our Jewish community as well as other communities to which Mr. Jones has directed his hate.

We here in Burbank have one of the most successful education programs on the Holocaust.
We have brought survivors and liberators into the schools for 25 years to tell their stories. Some stories they have never shared with their own families.
They are dying. We don't have any liberators anymore.
Don't tell me it didn't happen. I know the survivors. I have hugged the survivors. I have made them weep with my words saying "This shall not happen again!!"
And I'm a goy.
