Gay-Basher Eugene Delgaudio Isn鈥檛 Fond of Immigrants, Either

Loudon County, Va., Board Supervisor Eugene Delgaudio has already been widely called out for his furious attacks on LGBT people 鈥 most notably in 2010, when he referred to transgender people as 鈥渋t鈥 during a public meeting. That brought an official rebuke from five of his colleagues on the county governing board for his comments, given as head of the gay-bashing Public Advocate of America, which the Southern Poverty Law Center has listed as a hate group since last year.

What鈥檚 far less known is Delgaudio鈥檚 anti-immigrant vitriol. In recent years, Delgaudio has attacked immigrants in a number of extremist venues.

Most notably, and in his role as a county supervisor, Delgaudio in January 2009 participated in a press conference conducted by a group long listed by 人兽性交 as a hate group 鈥 the (SCP), run by avid white nationalists and fellow immigrant-bashers including Editor Wayne Lutton. Lutton has a long history of association with groups like the (black people are a 鈥渞etrograde species of humanity鈥) and the New Century Foundation (black people are plagued by 鈥減sychopathologies鈥 unlike other races).

The press conference was held to announce the release of the SCP鈥檚 latest attack on immigrants, 鈥淭he Twin Crises: Immigration and Infrastructure,鈥 by , a long-time contributor to CSP, the white nationalist and the , all listed by 人兽性交 as hate groups. Delgaudio took the podium to lavishly praise Lutton and Rubenstein, whose presentation he called 鈥渂rilliant, brilliant, brilliant.鈥

Delgaudio then launched into a monologue linking illegal immigrants to a variety of social ills, including high crime, foreclosures, zoning complaints, and overloading schools and the local food bank. His description of the problems allegedly created by undocumented immigrants then devolved into a real estate promotion for Sterling, Va., the heart of the area he represents on the Loudon Board of Supervisors.

Earlier, in December 2007, Delgaudio did a 25-minute interview on the TV show 鈥淐onservative Roundtable,鈥 and its host, erstwhile presidential candidate , who left more conventional right-wing politics to pursue extreme-right causes. (Phillips, who called Delgaudio a longtime friend during the show, created the Conservative Caucus, which was instrumental in encouraging the development of Jerry Falwell鈥檚 Moral Majority. During the 1980s, a British paper reported that Phillips visited South Africa on 鈥減romotional tours鈥 that were supposed to boost the morale of apartheid supporters. Phillips established the extremist U.S. Taxpayers鈥 Party in 1992, which, among other things, called for the death penalty for abortionists. It was renamed the in 1999.

Delgaudio discussed illegal immigration and actions that local officials could take to keep illegal aliens from draining social services in their communities. He also touched on the that he sponsored that passed in Loudoun County in 2007. 鈥淟ives are at stake,鈥 Delgaudio told Phillips. 鈥淲e have men and women coming here and taking their Third World values and they鈥檙e putting them into our society and we鈥檙e allowing slave-like conditions to exist among us.鈥

Earlier in 2007, he was , stating that Loudoun County needed help against the 鈥渉ordes that are coming here and using up our services.鈥 According to the U.S. Census, about 10% of Loudoun County鈥檚 population was Latino in 2005, up from 6% in 2000. indicates that roughly 12.6% of the county鈥檚 population is Latino, while nearly 73% is white.

And in 2008, Delgaudio took heat after he claimed during that urbanization was not to be blamed for trash and zoning complaints in Loudoun. Rather, he said, it was due to immigrants: 鈥淭his is a cesspool. People are coming from outside of this culture and they are dumping their crap on the streets of our town and our town is outraged that they don鈥檛 get with the program.鈥
