"Patrick Buchanan's presidential campaign co-chairman was forced to take an abrupt leave of absence Thursday to answer allegations he has ties to white supremacists and militia organizations.
Buchanan said the aide, Larry Pratt, denied the claims but agreed to leave the campaign "to refute these charges."
Pratt is director of Gun Owners of America, a Falls Church, Va.-based group that reportedly has between 150,000 and 200,000 members.
The charges are based on an investigation by the center that found Pratt has spoken before white supremacist groups and was an early advocate of the militia movement. "

"Nearly three years ago, as Sen. John Ashcroft was considering a run for the presidency, he composed a hand-written thank-you note to a man many politicians would run from. Neatly inscribed on Ashcroft's Senate stationery, the letter went to Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America, a firearms lobbying group considered extremist even by many conservatives.
At the time Ashcroft wrote to Pratt, the Virginia-based activist was already branded as a pariah even by those considered to the right of the GOP: Two years earlier, he had been forced to step aside as co-chairman of Pat Buchanan's presidential campaign after news reports of his association with leaders of the Ku Klux Klan, the Aryan Nations and militias.
Pratt, however, is not just involved with the GOA — he is also president of another group, English First, an organization accused of immigrant-bashing that is part of the conservative coalition rallying behind Ashcroft's nomination. "

"Guns were Pratt's focus, but they weren't the meeting's only topic. The audience listened to speakers who mixed calls for "Christian resistance" with warnings of concentration camps for "patriots." The men gathered in committees that issued reports with conclusions like, "Vigilante action is scriptural." Richard Butler, the aging chief of Aryan Nations, in Idaho's north woods, told the group, "I have to confess to you, I am a bigot."
"I am a 100 percent bigot," he added for emphasis."
