What would Mark Williams have to do to get CNN to stop covering his nonsensical, inflammatory diatribes? Because here they go again:

Former Tea Party Express spokesperson Mark Williams on Monday night defended his latest blog posting in which he called New York City Michael Bloomberg a “Judenrat” and said that one of the journalists who wrote about it “has never read a book” and has “an appalling ignorance” of the Holocaust.

In the blog entry, Williams wrote: “Politically correct Judenrats like New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and (Manhattan Borough President) Scott Stringer and domestic enemies who are supporting the mosque - with open ties to Islamic Terrorist organizations and supporting states are doing nothing more than erecting a giant middle finger to be thrust at the victims of 911.”

In response to TPMMuckraker's Evan McMorris-Santoro story about the post, Williams appended his posting to say that Judenrat “is a derogatory term for the Jews who collaborated with the Nazis. Judenrats were Jews who turned in people like Anne Frank.”

This kind of bigoted commentary is exactly what forced the National Tea Party Federation to suspend Williams and the Tea Party Express he was associated with after he wrote a fictional letter about “We Coloreds” in opposition to the NAACP. That was just the latest bigoted eruption from Williams, who previously called the NAACP “race-baiters,” described Allah as a “monkey god,” called President Obama the “racist in chief” and on and on. As of mid-July, this didn't stop CNN from hosting Williams on-air 10 times over the past year.

Clearly, this also hasn't prevented CNN's Political Ticker blog from tapping the Williams well, even after his comments went over the line for even Tea Party activists. At this point, CNN is just giving a platform to a crank with a blog. What journalistic purpose does that serve?
