Skinheads, neo-nazis, and other hate groups on the rise in Keystone state

April 19, 3:19 PM

Is your next door neighbor a Nazi?

“A lot of people think they can spot a Nazi a mile away,” said T.J. Leyden, a former neo-Nazi skinhead. Leyden spent 15 years promoting hate, bigotry and racism. “They’re not Hogan’s Heros or Jerry Springer guys,” he emphasizes. They are doctors, lawyers, professors and government officials.

After turning his back completely on the white power movement, Leyden worked for 5 ½ years with the Task Force Against Hate at the Simon Wiesenthal Center. A featured speaker at the Clinton White House Conference on Hate in Washington, D.C. and a major contributor to California Governor Grey Davis’s report “Governor’s Advisory Panel on Hate Groups.” Leyden has trained members of the Pentagon, FBI, military, law enforcement, educators, and over 800,000 students. He has also worked with the Department of Justice District Attorneys.

Just before speaking to a group of students at the University of Pittsburgh last month, Leyden said, “I want to open their eyes to it - especially the young people. The separatist movement has grown vastly in the last decade.In 1995 there were 256 hate groups in the United States. Today, Leyden estimates there are nearly 1000. Last year Pennsylvania had 33 and this year 37.

1. How's that old saying go?
Philly on one side, Sixburgh on the other and Alabama in the middle?

2. Oh definitely
I live out in the Pennslyvania redneck zone. They love Sarah, hate anyone different from them, and listen to the fat man religiously. We know a guy who's busy bragging that he's getting a shipment of three TONS of ammo from somewhere.

10. They have the biggest populations
So that makes sense. Actually, the most disturbing rightist movement in Europe right now
is in Russia, but they are so ultra-nationalist, they hate us as much as they hate Chechens.

7. Probably not, in my case...
Around 30-40% of my neighbors are black, and we've got a fair number of Hispanics around, too. I can't imagine neo-Nazis wanting to even live in this mixed-race neighborhood. That's what gated communities are for.

Here in South Carolina, they don't call themselves Nazis. They call themselves things like "League of the South", "National Policy Institute", "Charles Martel Society", "Washington Summit Publishers, and "Council of Conservative Citizens".

9. Ha!
I got a Grand Dragon within a mile of the house. Thankfully he hasn't had a rally on his property for about 2 years. Last time he had one it might have drawn 150 people at most, and judging from the signs at the interstate exits(AKIA, a klansman I am) many of those were from outside of the county. Mostly scared people and pathetic wankers.
