NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Republican congressional candidate James L. Hart acknowledges that he is an ``intellectual outlaw.''
He is an unapologetic supporter of eugenics, the phony science that resulted in thousands of sterilizations in an attempt to purify the white race. He believes the country will look ``like one big Detroit'' if it doesn't eliminate welfare and immigration. He believes that if blacks were integrated centuries ago, the automobile never would have been invented.
He shows up at voters' homes wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a gun, and tells them that ``white children deserve the same rights as everyone else.''
