Emile, my condolences on the death of one of your own:

‘Turner Diaries’ author William Pierce dies

White supremacist’s book reportedly inspired Oklahoma bomber McVeigh

MILL VALLEY, W. Va., July 23 — White supremacist William Pierce, the author of “The Turner Diaries,” which is believed to have influenced Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, died Tuesday at his compound in Pocahontas County. He was 68.

THE CAUSE OF death was cancer, said Bob DeMarias, Pierce’s business manager. Pierce became ill about three weeks ago, and his kidneys failed.

“The Turner Diaries,” written under the pen name of Andrew MacDonald and published in 1978, portrays the violent overthrow of the federal government and the killing of Jews and non-whites to establish an “Aryan” world. The book includes a chapter titled the “Day of the Rope,” which describes white corpses hung from every street corner with placards reading, “I defiled my race.”

MCVEIGH PROMOTED BOOK

The book drew national attention in 1996 when it was reported that McVeigh was a fan and promoted the book before the April 1995 bombing.

Pierce was the leader of the white supremacist group, National Alliance, which operates from a spartan, two-story steel building on 400 acres deep in the Appalachians, about four hours southwest of Washington.

DeMarias said the National Alliance would continue to operate “as it did before.”

“He gave us a lot of instructions what he wanted us to do. Right now (we’re) just trying to let our people know what happened.”

Recently, Pierce began using the Internet to promote his recording label, Resistance Records. Pierce called the label “the soundtrack for white revolution.”

‘SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT’

Mark Potok with the Southern Poverty Law Center said Pierce’s death was a “very, very significant development.”

“This is the major hate group in the United States. It’s the most organized, the best run and the wealthiest. This is a group that pulls in over a million dollars a year mainly through the sale of white power music and white supremacist or neo-Nazi literature,” said Potok, editor of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s intelligence report.

“The great question now is where will this organization go. It’s an extremely professional organization,” Potok said.

You are full of shit.

It's well known that the Palestinians murderers target innocents by blowing up buses full of civilian women and babies yet the baby killers are so horrified when Israel retaliates leaving some collateral damage. Israel at least announced their regrets that innocent people were killed. I will say that aside from the collateral damage Israel has the right idea when dealing with terrorists and that is to respond on a much larger scale. The terrorists kill 19 Jews and the response is 128 terrorists killed. That is the only way to peace.
BTW I am not Jewish. I'm an atheist through and through. I learned at an early age that religions, especially Christians, have caused more war, death and destruction than any other factor. I don't need that.
