Front Page Mag published this article per who invented the term “alt right” and it certainly isn’t Spencer or some of the other names tossed out there and Paul Gottfried likely is nothing like those mentioned above.

But almost no one is going to give him credit and even if they did, alt-right seems to have come to mean other things nowadays.
I agree. It’s much to be regretted, but the term alt-right is been hollowed out, filled with excrement, and hurled back at us. Do I want to jump up and catch that can of excrement? No, when it hits the ground and stops rolling, I want to bury it and then fumigate the place.
this is Paul Gottfried’s 2008 inaugural speech to the HL Mencken Club, “The Decline and Rise of the Alternative Right”
Gottfried is a paleoconservative Jewish intellectual, and because he was first to use the term Altright he now gets to be tossed in with Richard Spencer. smh.
