Samuel Todd Francis (April 29, 1947 – February 15, 2005) was an American writer.[1][2][3][4][5] He was a columnist and editor for the conservative Washington Times until he was dismissed after making racist remarks at the 1995 American Renaissance conference.[6] Francis would later become a "dominant force" on the Council of Conservative Citizens, a white supremacist organization identified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).[6][7] Francis was the chief editor of the council's newsletter, Citizens Informer, until his death in 2005.[7] The white supremacist Jared Taylor called Francis "the premier philosopher of white racial consciousness of our time."[8]
The political scientist and writer George Michael, an expert on extremism, identified Francis as one of "the far right's higher-caliber intellectuals."[9] The SPLC described Francis as an important white nationalist writer known for his "ubiquitous presence of his columns in racist forums and his influence over the general direction of right-wing extremism" in the United States.[7] The journalist Leonard Zeskind called Francis the "philosopher king" of the radical right,[7] writing that, "By any measure, Francis's white nationalism was as subtle as an eight-pound hammer pounding on a twelve inch I beam."[2] The political analyst Chip Berlet described Francis as an ultraconservative ideologue akin to Pat Buchanan,[10] whom Francis advised.[11] The anarcho-capitalist political theorist Hans-Hermann Hoppe called Francis "one of the leading theoreticians and strategists of the Buchananite movement."[12]
