\*\*Kyla, \*\* why do you asssume you are the only one on this board who has “actually read the Turner Diaries”? I know I have, and I would actually encourage others to do so, just so they can see how stupid the book is. You can find it online(or at least you used to be able to) and that way Pierces’ estate won’t get any money because you paid for a copy. One of the most ugly things I ever read it was. It wasn’t even \*well written \* bile. The description of what was done to women who had mixed race babies(after the supremacists won) was particularly awful. ---

Regarding Chaim Potok and Turner meeting at the Gates, I think the real difference between the two would be revealed in Chaim arguing for letting Turner in to see the error of his ways and find redemption, while Turner would be horrified that a Jew would even be eligible for Paradise. Chaim, may you find peace with the King of the Universe. As for Turner, I can’t know the state of anyone else’s soul, but God help you after the hate and violence that you preached in life. ---

I can’t help but find it ironic that a man of hate can inspire so much hate as evidenced by the posts in this very thread. You live by the sword, you die by the sword I guess. ---

**Baldwin:** > [@](#): > > Maybe David Duke’s head will implode and make for a really good week. Hijack - Our first year in New Orleans ('91), we went to a St. Patricks Day parade. The floats threw green and white beads, green Moon Pies and cabbages (every parade in New Orleans involves throwing stuff to the crowd). I had just caught a huge head of cabbage when David Duke came marching down the street, smiling and waving to the crowd. I had a real hard time not hurling that head of cabbage into his cabbage head and fucking up his nose job. Unfortunately, the burley bodyguards surrounding him made that seem a little self destructive. At least we got to enjoy watching a sloppily drunk redneck barhag burst through the guards and slobber on him before he could veer away, and get her foot run over by the next float. One less piece of scum on the planet. ---

It would be true irony if people had stooped to his level of hatred. ---

I have an idea for a celebration: At someone’s house, we make up a fake grave, namely a pile of dirt with a fake headstone at one end. We all get really drunk and then take turns pissing on his “grave”. Awards will be given for style, accuracy and quantity and color of urine (namely, more beer). ---

> [@](#): > > Kyla, why do you asssume you are the only one on this board who has “actually read the Turner Diaries”? Because I read it for a class. My teacher had a hard time even finding copies, and I doubt I could find a copy of it now without resorting to buying it from the National Alliance, whom I would not give my money to. I apologize if I offended you for doubting the board’s literacy, I just have a hard time imagining anyone reading this book for any reason other than a class requirement. I know you should know your enemies and all that, but this book physically disgusted me. If I had been told by a friend that I ought to read it just so I could know what these crazies believe, I would have maybe managed a few chapters at best. The only thing that kept me going was that it was for school. ---

I apologize if I offended you for doubting the board’s literacy, I just have a hard time imagining anyone reading this book for any reason other than a class requirement. The Tower Records down the street from me sells copies. They have it on the shelf right next to The Anarchist’s Cookbook and The Joy of Gay Sex, so I don’t think the store is pushing a particular agenda other than providing their patrons with literature that’ll freak out their parents. But the book is available in mainstream commercial outlets. ---

_The Turner Diaries_ is available at the [Los Angeles Public Library](http://catalog2.lapl.org/cgi-bin/cw_cgi?fullRecord+22566+965+1438497+1+2), but it says the author is Andrew Macdonald. Was that a pseudonym for William Pierce?
