Considering that the ultra-conservative Washington Times is a conservative propaganda machine owned by a crazed Korean cult leader, I had assumed that there was very little this “newspaper” could do to surprise me. I stand corrected<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Marian Kester Coombs is a woman who believes America has become a “den of iniquity” thanks to “its efforts to accommodate minorities.” <\/p>\n

White men should “run, not walk” to wed “racially conscious” white women and avoid being out-bred by non-whites. Latinos are “rising to take this country away from those who made it,” the “Euroamericans.” Muslims are “human hyenas” who “smell blood” and are “closing in” on their “weakened prey,” meaning “the white race.” Blacks, Coombs sneers, are “saintly victims who can do no wrong.” Black solidarity and non-white immigration are imposing “racial revolution and decomposition” in America. <\/p>\n

Coombs describes herself as just “a freelance writer in Crofton, Maryland.” But this is one writer who’s a bit more well-positioned than she lets on. <\/p>\n

Marian Kester Coombs is married to Francis Booth Coombs, managing editor of the hard-right newspaper The Washington Times. Fran Coombs has published at least 35 of his wife’s news and opinion pieces for his paper, although his relationship to her is not acknowledged in her Times bylines. <\/p>\n

And that’s not all. Fran Coombs has presided over the Times’ republication of articles taken from white supremacist hate groups, not to mention allowing a key employee at the paper to write fawning pieces about the same groups.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Southern Poverty Law Center has the whole scoop<\/a>. Even by the already low standards of the Times, this is stunning stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
