I sent out this note on Sunday:

See the SPLC article on white supremacist group American Renaissance and its schism over antisemitism http://tinyurl.com/american-renaissance

American Renaissance is a eugenicist White Supremacist group with a leader who tolerates antisemites at his conferences and on his blogsite.

Never seen American Renaissance use the term ZOG (Zionist Occupied Government) which is a term used by neonazis, especially Christian Identity.
