Jewish remark from Virginia GOP committeeman prompts rebuke
FAIRFAX, Va. Republican leaders in Virginia are seeking the resignation of a member of the partys state central committee after he suggested he would not vote for a Jewish candidate.
Virginia GOP Chairman John Whitbeck said committee member Fredy Burgos should resign, and he told The Washington Post on Monday that efforts are underway to remove him if he wont.
In a Facebook post, Burgos posted a quote from John Jay, the first chief justice of the Supreme Court, that calls on Christians to select and prefer Christians for their rulers. Burgos states that having preference for Christians over non-Christians as political leaders is not bigoted.
Burgos was supporting a candidate for a Fairfax County party post who is running against a Jewish candidate.

(61,347 posts)Germany and Chile agreed to establish a joint commission to document the crimes of a secretive cult founded by a pedophile ex-Nazi in 1961, Chile's foreign ministry said Thursday.
The agreement will create a documentation center for the community, and a memorial for victims that were tortured and killed within the confines of Colonia Dignidad. The cult was started by Paul Schäfer, a German lay preacher, former army medic and convicted pedophile who fled West Germany to Chile after World War II.
Over 30 years, countless boys were raped and forced to labor at the remote commune hidden behind security fences. Schäfer brutally suppressed and controlled his followers, using means including brainwashing, draconian punishments and enforcing a vow of secrecy. Chilean military dictator Augusto Pinochet used the German commune as a torture camp, and hid weapons and poison gas on the premises.
The so-called "Uncle Paul" maintained good relations with right-wing extremist circles and was able to operate with impunity for decades until the fall of the Pinochet regime in 1990. Schäfer then went undercover, escaping justice once again. He was arrested in Buenos Aires in 2005 and was sentenced to jail for 25 cases of sexual abuse. On April 24, 2010, he died in a prison in Santiago de Chile.
