The , a small third party that has been around in one form or another since 1992, says its goal is 鈥渢o limit the federal government to its delegated, enumerated, Constitutional functions.鈥� As a practical matter, that has meant that it opposes abortion and most immigration, seeks to drastically reduce government spending and end the income tax, and works toward a noninterventionist foreign policy that requires dropping out of international organizations and treaties.

What it has not done, despite serious flirtations with radical anti-abortionists and antigovernment militias, is get into open racism. Not until now, anyway.

Enter .

Virtually unnoticed, Gemma, who lives in Florida, has recently joined the governing national executive committee of the Constitution Party as its eighth living member (party founder Howard Phillips, who died earlier this year, is also listed). Although Gemma is described by the party website as 鈥渁 veteran political and fundraising consultant鈥� who was a staffer on three presidential campaigns, he is in fact a white nationalist with deep ties to a whole array of racist hate groups.

For years, he was the head of design, marketing and advertising for the racist tabloid of the (CCC) 鈥� a group that has complained that non-white immigration was turning the U.S. population into a 鈥渟limy brown mass of glop鈥� and described black people as a 鈥渞etrograde species of humanity.鈥� He also was the media coordinator for the CCC鈥檚 for several years.

He is part of the American Holocaust denial movement, reviewing a book by British denier for the racist journal, organizing a 2005 speaking event for Irving, and giving a speech at the denialist , the Institute for Research on Education & Human Rights.

In 2000, Gemma appeared with and , both former leaders of the , at an event meant to raise money for the fascist, whites-only , according to the same report.

He has been media director at the , a hate group that is staffed by leading racists and anti-Semites and whose founder worries that 鈥渢he white race may go from master of the universe to an anthropological curiosity.鈥� He still writes for , a racist anti-immigration journal. He has contributed to , a racist website named after Virginia Dare, said to be the first English child born in the New World. He is a member of Florida鈥檚 ResistNet Tea Party, where two veteran anti-Semitic activists 鈥� founder and Internet radio host 鈥� also found a home.

Gemma has also appeared as a guest on 鈥� racist, Memphis-based radio program, 鈥淭he Political Cesspool,鈥� later reviewing Edwards鈥� book for a white nationalist blog called Middle American News. And he has been on the other side of many interviews, speaking to such heroes of the radical right as nativist Sheriff Paul Babeu of Pinal County, Ariz., and former congressman Virgil Goode, who was the Constitution Party鈥檚 nominee for president of the United States in 2012.

Gemma鈥檚 influence on the Constitution Party has been, thus far, hard to gauge. The group鈥檚 mission statement and its website look unchanged. But it鈥檚 hard not to wonder, when an already radical group brings a longtime racist and anti-Semite like Peter Gemma into a key leadership position, just what the future can hold.
