@homofascist: Gar! Happily, I missed it b/c of intertubes blackout at werk and I'm just sooooo tired when I get home that I don't read all the posts.

@homofascist: Yes, but that was contextualized.

@nojo: Yay, Bloggie, nojo and FCS! And I must give props to Bloggie for not putting up any titty posts in the last week or so. Huzzah!

@JNOV: FCS helpfully linked to an SPLC story on the growth of neonazi groups the other day, but I fear it may have been overlooked amidst our hijinx. (And which is why the new Feature Strip is coming in handy — another Blogenfreude inspiration, by the way, prompting me to get around to a chore that had been in the back of my mind from the start.)

@Promnight: Hmmmmm. Then I still think it’s FCS.

@all: Please take these folks seriously. Go to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s site to check out their hate group watch: http://www.splcenter.org/

AND check out my old prof’s Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism: http://hatemonitor.csusb.edu/index_old.html (he used to work at the SPLC).

Anyhoo, the intertubez have allowed leaderless cells of two or three people to get together and hurt folks (e.g. Tim McVeigh, et al). And those of you in LA should pay a visit to the Simon Wiesenthal Museum of Tolerance. The thing that really struck me about the museum was a map of the US that had colored push pins stuck in each geographic area that had a known hate group. Red might have been for the Aryan Nation, and maybe blue was for the KKK. I expected to see most of the pins in states like Montana or Idaho, but lo and behold, there were a shitton, a HUGELY disproportionate amount, in PA, NJ and OH.

@nojo: I looked his name up. What a loser nutjob. Seems he was on WABC for a time. So much for the one-time home of Scott Muni, Bruce Morrow, Herb Oscar Anderson, Chuck Dunaway, Dan Ingram, Big Bob Lewis, etc, etc.

Bonus Hal Turner quote:

“You folks in Congress need to understand something very simple: Obey the Constitution or some Americans may decide to start killing you.”

Again, one crank makes not a movement. But there’s more than one crank out there.

@HalTurner: I am so glad I left Jersey at 18 and never looked back. Who the fuck is Hal Turner?
