Here we go again – “white supremacist” arrested for threats, lefty broadbrushing of “right wingers” continues
The AP reports:
CHICAGO — A white supremacist blogger was arrested at his New Jersey home Wednesday and charged with threatening to assault or murder three Chicago-based judges who refused to overturn local ordinances banning handguns.
Hal Turner, 47, a former Internet radio talk show host, was taken into custody by FBI agents who went to his North Bergen home with a search warrant, according to the U.S. attorney’s office.
Prosecutors quoted a Turner Internet posting as saying: “Let me be the first to say this plainly: These judges deserve to be killed.”
The posting included a map showing the Everett Dirksen Federal Courthouse, where the three judges are based. It said a map showing the judges’ homes would later be added.
The posting also referred to the murder of the mother and husband of Chicago-based federal Judge Joan Humphrey Lefkow in February 2005 — a crime that sent shock waves across the nation.
“Apparently, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court didn’t get the hint after those killings,” the posting said. “It appears another lesson is needed.”
U.S. Attorney Patrick J. Fitzgerald announced the arrest, which stemmed from a complaint filed in federal court in Chicago.
“We take threats to federal judges very seriously — period,” he said.
Turner organized a rally of supremacist groups in Kalamazoo, Mich., in 2007 and a neo-Nazi rally in Kingston, N.Y., in 2005. Last summer, he ended his Internet radio show that espoused hatred of gays, Jews, blacks and other minorities, but he continues a blog under the heading “Honest talk in a time of universal deceit.”
The guy sounds like a typical extremist who just hates everyone, but of course the cries of “more examples of extremist right wing violence” have already started. No surprise there.
What is kind of interesting in all this is that, thanks to recent isolated acts of violence involving “extremist right wingers” (including a murder that was committed by someone whose ideology leaned more far left than far right), the left has made it clear that an “epidemic” is under way, one that needs to be “stopped.” Hey, listen, I’m all for taking measures to stop extremists from being able to carry out their terroristic threats whether against Americans and/or their interests here or overseas, but then again most of us on the right are – as demonstrated by our attitude towards waging war against fanatical extremist Islamofascists since 9-11. Ironically enough, in spite of the fact that most acts of terrorism that happen around the world are committed by Islamofascist thugs, the left are always quick to point out that it’s just a “tiny minority” and that the vast, vast majority of Islamists are “peaceloving” and that we should “proceed carefully” so we don’t trample on their “rights” both home and abroad.
Yet, a few isolated incidents involving alleged “right wingers” and all of a sudden extremist violence has gone “mainstream” on the right and, accordingly, we must wage full-scale war against it. Interesting how the only time the left is “concerned” enough to advocate strong action against violence is when they perceive it’s coming from “right wingers” stateside. Worldwide incidents of brutal Islamofascism, though? Not so much.

They should leave the poor guy alone. After all he is just practicing his art. He wouldn’t have done anything to these judges. I bet he couldn’t even get to Chigago. It’s no big deal. Isn’t that was was said after the “documentary” about assasinating Bush?? Now we just have a guy spouting off and wham into the slammer you go Mister. How hard is it to find the Federal Courthouse in Chicago anyway?? Like their aren’t a trillion maps of it out there. This is just more ridiculous over-reacting by the new Gestpo that our friends on the left are becoming. Between guns and global warming they go absolutely nuts. Child molesters, ehh who cares, they should run free like the wind on the great plains. – Lorica
What a relief – when I heard about this racist anti-Semite, my first thought was “Oh, I’m so tired of hearing about Reverend Wright.”
Anyway, this guy never actually killed anyone, just as Obama’s supporters keep telling us about his pal Bill Ayers, so what’s the big deal?
Have no fear.
The Left is still trying to prove that Lee Harvey Oswald was a “right winger”, which requires you ignore his time in Russia and his Cuban support, etc. etc.
Oh, where to begin? First, it is incredibly disingenuous to call Nazis “right wing extremists” because they are SOCIALISTS, all you dummies out there in candyland.
Second, Steve makes an excellent point by bringing up Ayers, and he was certainly not the only murder advocate adored by leftists (not even “extremist” leftists). I’m sure with a little digging we could probably find a racist preacher or two of His Hollowness’ acquaintance that has advocated such, and half his cabinet heartily supports such people.
And lastly, the “tiny minority” of muslims who are “radicals” is such a bogus claim. Even if only 1/10 of 1% of the estimated muslim population (1.5 billion) was such, that would still be 1.5 million terrorists on the loose. The claim is that the actual percentage is 1%, which is 15 million. What’s “tiny” about that?
Bottom line is the guy made a threat, and IF he is to be prosecuted, the left should own up to his being one of “theirs”, not one of “ours”.
What I dont get is that he didnt actually threaten to kill them although obviously he felt they should be….. How come when women complain to the police about threats from ex’s and so forth…the police respond that they can only act when something happens, not based on words.
Excellent point Krystal. – Lorica
(Good day moderator – Perhaps you could email me as to why my comment was not approved. Is this a site wherein ideas are discussed and debated or is it an echo-chamber? I am not a troll, I am not a bot. Thank you for your time and consideration. If you are so inclined, delete the parenthetical portion of this comment post.)
Note from ST: I hadn’t had a chance to approve your first comment yet when you made your second post. Give me a break!
I agree that there is a rush to ascribe such overt acts of violence to the political-right. That does not change the fact that Hal Turner is a certified bigot who used to keep company with Sean Hannity and is well-known by others on the right. Though he eventually fell out of favor with right-wingers because of his toxic views, he obviously considers himself to be conservative.
This guy is not a lefty and denying his avowed allegiance to the right makes his defenders sound more like deranged, obfuscating supporters.
Being stereotyped by the extremists in one’s group sucks. It’s nothing new though. There are extremists on both sides of the aisle. Life’s rough.
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and spews venom like a Nazi, then my guess is he is a Nazi. It doesn’t matter that most leftists wish to disavow Nazis as “right wing extremists”, the fact is they are socialists, much more closely aligned with such socialists as our president and the Speaker of the House.
I know it’s against their personal constitutions, but it would sure be nice if leftists would start taking ownership of even a small portion of their failures.
…….
If you are not a troll you’d not have to answer a question before you ask it, nor be staggered at the fact that she’d screen out the aggregate that is passed as a sandy suave.
On topic: As is the norm for the hypocreeps out there…..good for for thee has never meant me, cases in point are either currently on staff with the Nubian directive, or were and are a viral part of the Kenyan’s upbringing.
Race Card is funny. It is amazing how fast these guys pass off the association that Barack has with Rev Wright after 20plus years, but this guy, per Mr. Card’s own comment was kicked to the curb by the right and that makes him one of ours. Okay!!!
You see Mr. Card, unlike you folks on the left, we get rid of our “alligences” to people who exhibit behaviors outside of the societal norms. We don’t put them in as platforms to our party. In order to have an alligence, 2 must agree to be allies, much like Rev. Wright and Barack. Once this persons true motivations were known, we shed him like water off a ducks back. We don’t hang around folks like this, or known terrorists praising books they have written. So keep up that big tent there Mr. Card, eventually it will only have the hate normal America crowd, and then just imagine all the elections you will win. – Lorica
Are we all so surprised at this turn of events? After the DOJ memo earlier this spring, we can all look forward to more of this Brown Shirt mentality from the the Obama administration.
A smarmy peep about the dissent and election fraud in Iran tells all….his royal Obamaship will not tolerate dissent so he cannot criticize dissent in other countries. And let’s not even talk about fair elections.. ACORN?
Why the long face, Card? I consider myself a little to the right of the “mainstream” Republican Party, and I can’t tell you how many of my comments have been scrubbed by ST.
But that’s O.K., she has her reasons, it’s her site, and I’m a guest commenter only because she allows it. If I didn’t want to ever be scrubbed, I’d set up my own blog. It’s called freedom with responsibility.
