Speaking on Journal News columnist Phil Reisman’s radio show today, former Mamaroneck Village Trustee Tom Murphy recalled an encounter he had three years ago with congressional candidate Jim Russell.
Protesters stood outside Murphy’s home to object to his support of the village’s settlement over the harrassment of day laborers in Mamaroneck’s Columbus Park. Russell, who has appeared at numerous municipal and county meetings to call for immigration enforcement, was among the picketers.
Murphy said the group had a right to picket, but Russell’s sign caught his attention.
“He had a sign that said ‘traitor,’” Murphy said. “And you know what they do to traitors, right?”
Here’s a story on the 2007 protest.

Just sorry that I missed the event! I would’ve joined the picket line as well. I have no use for any Public Servant who enables ILLEGAL ALIENS to break our immigration laws, PERIOD!
Actually, this is even more serious than Murphy realizes. Russell was calling him a “race traitor,” someone selling out white people. It is the response of white supremacists to white people who do not agree with them. And, yes, the penalty for being a “traitor,” is, again, death.
We now know Russell has been a racist and anti-Semite for at least 30 years. It is his obsession, reason to live. With a life expectancy of about 75 years for him, expect decades more of this.
Podesta what are you babbling about? Go back and read the news clip. The sign said “traitor” NOT “race traitor”. Stop making false accusations.
You sound like an equal-opportunity bigot! You just hate everybody!
