If this little pissant weren't so vicious, I'd have put this in Humor. The white supremacist who posted the home addresses of five members of the so-called "Jena 6" on a website says he also plans to reveal the personal information of Rev. Jesse Jackson. He has already posted what he claims are addresses for Rev. Al Sharpton and Martin Luther King III on his blog, which also carries the Jena addresses.
"I know where Sharpton lives," Bill White, head of the American National Socialist Workers Party, said in a phone interview late Sunday night. "Jesse Jackson, too."
On his blog, which is part of Google's Blogger network, White published four separate addresses for Sharpton, including a listing that purported to be the home of the reverend's mother.

Sharpton added that the new development "shows they are now tagging leaders that have come to the aid of the Jena Six."
"This illustrates why FBI efforts aren't taken seriously," he continued, referring to a recent announcement from the FBI that it was launching a probe into White's website. "We are in Washington, DC, today asking for intervention by the federal government because this is tantamount to mocking them. It also jeopardizes me and those that travel with me."
Agent Sheila Thorne, of the FBI's New Orleans field office, said in an email Thursday that "the FBI and our Law Enforcement Partners are aware of allegations that various threats have been made against those involved in the Jena Six case and their families."
"Threats are taken seriously," she said, but would not comment further citing ongoing investigations.

If what I've read is correct, the Fed really doesn't have much of a case against him. Not yet, anyway....
Civil rights expert: White may be a 'pig,' but probably broke no laws
As incendiary as White's tactics and comments may be, the Southern Poverty Law Center's Mark Potok says it's unlikely authorities have much of a case.
"White understands the First Amendment pretty well. He's a pig, but I think it's pretty clear that what he's done is legal," Potok said, although he was quick to point out he is not a lawyer.
Potok, a civil rights expert who edits the Center's Intelligence Report, which tracks hate groups across the country, says he doubts White's most recent postings -- or his comments to Raw Story -- meet the standard required for charging White with a federal crime.
"Typically, the courts have found that there needs to be a direct incitement to act. One piece of it is an 'excited atmosphere," he continued, explaining that White would likely have to be on the scene in Jena promoting a specific violent act in order to be in violation.
"Basically there has to be a real immediacy to criminal incitements," Potok said, adding that his own personal information has been posted by White multiple times. "I can say 'all police officers ought to be killed' and that is absolutely protected. There's nothing to do; it's unfortunate."
White first showed up on the radar of the Southern Poverty Law Center in 2003, when the then 26-year-old was profiled in a compendium of budding extremists called "40 to Watch."

I tried googling the "American National Socialist Workers Party" but apparently the site's been taken down. Oh well, Roanoke, VA is only a hundred or so miles up the road from my digs and I know some people up that way. If I really want to know any more about White and his Confederacy of Dunces, I can find out. If I decide to do it, I might also decide to post their names, address', phone numbers, employment locations, favorite barrooms, sexual habits and with whom.
But I probably won't. It's a pretty slimey thing to do, y'know?

Wait a minute! Why's everyone always throwing out the "Hitler" and "Nazi" words?
Oh. Yeah. I see.
I was thinking the same thing about outing those Nazi, Fil, though I have less connections to do so. Also, I came to the same conclusion: It just ain't right.

In the early '60s, I met George Lincoln Rockwell at some sort of rally he was holding in Norfolk, VA. In my mind, I keep trying to associate White as Rockwell's possible successor, but it ain't workin'. Rockwell was pretty damned impressive despite his warped philosophy and descent into madness; White is little more than a puling whiner with a mean streak covering the yellow one, as is so common with these sorts of tinhorn.
And I am reminded that Rockwell came the the end that so many of the ilk suffer; shot down by one of his own.
On June 28, 1967, the first attempt was made on Rockwell's life. Returning from shopping, he drove into the party barracks' driveway on Wilson Boulevard and found it blocked by a felled tree and brush. Rockwell assumed that it was another prank by local teens. As a young trooper cleared the obstruction, two shots were fired at Rockwell from behind one of the swastika-embossed brick driveway pillars. One of the shots ricocheted off the car right next to his head. Leaping from the car, Rockwell pursued the would-be assassin. On June 30, Rockwell petitioned the Arlington County Circuit Court for a gun permit; no action was ever taken on his request.
On August 25, 1967, Rockwell was killed by gunshots while leaving the Econowash laundromat at the Dominion Hills Shopping Center in the 6000 block of Wilson Boulevard in Arlington, Virginia.[11] Two bullets crashed through his 1958 Chevrolet's windshield and it slowly rolled backwards to a stop. Rockwell staggered out of the front passenger side door of the car, pointed towards the shopping center roof, and then collapsed face up on the pavement.
The gunman ran along the shopping center roof and jumped to the ground in the rear. A shop owner and customer briefly gave chase, but were unable to get a clear look at the fleeing figure. Other customers called the Arlington County police and checked Rockwell for a pulse. He had none; the one bullet that struck him had ripped through several major arteries just above his heart. The internal bleeding was so heavy that Rockwell died in two minutes.
A half hour later at a bus stop several miles away, John Patler - a former member of Rockwell's group - was arrested as the suspected murderer by a passing patrolman familiar with the Arlington Nazis. Later that day, after hearing of his son's death, Rockwell's 78-year-old father commented laconically, “I am not surprised at all. I've expected it for quite some time.”

Edit: Damn! I was gonna use Rockwell in my signature, but forgot and now I've blown it! Guess I'll have to wait 'till White gets picked off. It won't be the same, though.
