Its fine to bankrupt these groups in fact its what these assholes deserve and have coming to them. However- lets not jump ahead of ourselves. Money is not the motivating factor that keeps the klan and other WN in action. its all personal, they have no value or price tag. they don’t seek money as much as we think. even now as the entire financial world collapses- they will continue to keep themselves as hateful as ever because the recession is really leverage for them- they WANT the world to burn so that they can feel that they’re right about something. The real way of combating this problem isn’t just cutting thier funds, its also regarding them as a terrorist organization and a danger to our society. They need to be told loudly and clearly that their promotion of hate is wrong (knocking thier heads isn’t going to work-two wrongs don’t make right). Its not about money or violence its about sending a message. Also its important to realize that for every man or woman that joins a WN group people also leave them too. its futile. like iceskating up a hill.accept that world is changing.

I agree bob…..In fact, I think we should continue to do both.

Finally a victory against bigotry of the worst kind, I hope you are dilligent in collecting every penny owed to this young man and his family for the horror inflicted on him by these cretins.

This is the 21st century, not the 15th and you simply can’t get away with this in a civilised society.

Another Great Day in American History! I am Proud to be an American Today! This along with the election of our new President make it a great time to be an American. I feel that the Courage and Commitment these Attorneys displayed is beyond compare. Hopefully someday trials like this will be a thing of the past along with hate groups like the IKA. Untill then the SPLC will be here to fight and strike fear into the Hearts of all the members of these organizations!

Hey I suggested the exact same thing :D Terrorism is terrorism no matter what shade of White the purpetrators are. Weather it’s protestant Klansmen or muslim Al-Qaida anyone who terrorizes is a terrorist, period. Coercing Blacks, Jews and others not to vote via threats of violence and violent actions is terrorism in it’s most basic form. I’m very willing to fight the war on terror here on the domestic front, I’d be more then happy to round up a few Klansmen and haul them away to terror camps where they belong.

If these “White Nationalist” have such a problem with Blacks in America they should have thought about it before being so damn cheap and lazy as to have slaves. Blacks are here to stay, but White Nationalist are free to leave if they want. They won’t be missed.

I’m willing to bet the television watching, kool-aid gulping brainwashed jurors wouldn’t have awarded that amount to a white victim had they been assaulted by the thugs of the New Black Panthers.

White nationalism is growing (I joined an organization a few months ago!), no matter how much people try to stop it.

Dude….”White Nationalism” has always been around……Its just another “nicey nicey” name for predjudice and intollerance.

As for the judgement against the haters being fair…..I think that justice would have been better served if the knights had been charged with terrorism and prosecuted accordingly….Maybe even doing a stint at gutuanamo.

Also on the ABC World News Tonight Sunday`s edition did a piece regarding the rise of hate incidents across the U.S. Including the SPLC`s recent victory against the IKA. Morris Dees was interviewed including several White Supremacists such as Ron Edwards among others including the victim of a vicious beating–Jordan Gruver. One can watch the entire documentaries by login into the National Geographic Society`s website.

Morris Dees quotes:
“You have the right to hate. I support that right. But you do not have the right to cross the line and hurt somebody.”
–Unquote

I agree to his logic.

Geno….You must not have read my post very well.
When I said it was your problem….I was referring to my asking questions….In other words, if you have a problem with my asking questions on this or any other forum then it is exactly that….YOUR PROBLEM.

By the way…..Im a wiccan minister….Not a christian one.

So I have a Question would the SPLC help me in getting a 2.5 million verdict against this Toilet Bowl US Government.They have destroyed all of my dreams of having the same employment opportunities as all these garbage Foreigners have that have flooded my country for the last 80 years.

Would they take the United States Government to court and get me money for the pain and suffering I have been put through.

Re the conversation between Rev. Boony & Geno: the Wikipedia entry for Brown Berets (the first item listed on Google) provides a reasonably succinct and accurate portrayal of that group from the late ’60s and ’70s. But it is rather bare bones. If you’d like to get some real flavor of that era, check out Oscar Zeta Acosta’s Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo (Zeta A. was an attorney who defended some of the Brown Berets in Los Angeles courts). Or, alternatively, look at Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (Zeta A. is “Dr. Gonzo”).

“Something you seem to have a problem with. Let me assure you that it is you problem, not mine.”

Boony, its not “just my problem” as you would like to believe. Its America`s problem, if not, then the entire world. Racism and Hate Groups that come with it are not limited to one person. Every non-White/Jews in this country are victimized by it regardless of what kind of a person you are. Certainly religious preachers and missionaries are no stranger to religious persecution because of their faith.
Since you are stating that its “not your problem” then you possess no clue as to what racism, bias, bigortry, and discrimination can do to you. Then you really must be that clueless. Which is why I’m an avid critic of these WN groups. Because I have seen their faces of hate generated by their fear and dislike of a non-White. Not that I was a victim of a hate crime myself but I have known several comrades who were. And I have a family member discriminated against simply because she is a non-White.
But since you are new here, and by reading these comments, maybe just maybre you`ll learn something new other than the Bible.

Albert….In regards to your comment on the founding of the u.s., I agree that when it was first founded, it was done with the commision of many crimes and attrocities BUT that doesnt mean that we cant become a nation of better people OR that we cant learn from our past mistakes.

Albert…..We may never completely illiminate hate but that doesnt mean that we shouldnt continue to fight against it.

Geno….Youngun……Yes, I have heard of google and in fact, I have a gmail account.
Now, you are right about my not being up to speed on all the various groups in existance which is why I ask questions….Something you seem to have a problem with.
Let me assure you that its your problem, not mine.
As for my methods of research….Google is just one of them.
As for my being computer literate and internet savvy…..Well, after about 6 or 7 years of using the computer and walking the web, I may not be perfect but Im far from being a nube.

Yahoo! It is about time these groups started paying for all the hurt and intimidation they have caused, to bad it can’t help the people of the past. It is time for the “Change” in thinking, everyone of us are basically “mutts” as the new improved President Elect said, we all come from various backgrounds and isn’t that exactly why we came to this country, to become a nation in whole, not fragmented? Congratulations!

Boony,
Let me ask you something, since you seemed to be ill-informed around here. Have you ever heard of the search engine called “GOOGLE”??? If you have, may I suggest you do some little research into “La Raza” which is referred to as the National Council of La Raza(NCLR) and I’m not sure why the White Supremacists like to refer to them as a “racist” group when its merely a civil rights group. And then there’s the “Brown Barets” which is an underground insignificance deemed harmless since they don’t engage in any extremists activities as the WN, let alone, garnering any influences on society to be regarded as a public threat.
I wonder if you are new with computers and you are just getting up to date on the latest racisms and the hategroups that SPLC specializes in. You sound like you have much to learn in this field. Hopefully you will do some homework, so you`ll know who’s who or what they represent.

Justice truly has been served here, but there is still much work ahead. As long as the far right continues to make unsubstantiated claims of a so-called “NAFTA Superhighway” and claims of our country being “invaded” continue to be articulated by these same groups (and are validated by far right propaganda artists such as Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck, and Lou Dobbs), these types of attacks will only continue. Until such groups are exposed for what they truly are, people of all races must maintain their vigilance.

Thank you sarah.
Now what about the brown berets ?
Ive never heard of them either.

I think its ironic that those who would deny equality for others based on religious or personal beliefs, would call the groups of people they dont like deviant among many other cruel and unwarrented things yet be unable to look in the mirror and see the truth of their own hate and fear filled souls.
Ironic and very sad.
