SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) - Richard G. Butler, the notorious white supremacist who founded the Aryan Nations and was once dubbed the "elder statesman of American hate," has died at the age of 86, authorities said Wednesday.


Butler died peacefully in his sleep, sheriff's Capt. Ben Wolfinger told The Associated Press. The time of death was not immediately known.

"Everything appears to be natural," said Wolfinger, of the Kootenai County, Idaho, sheriff's department.

The Aryan Nations lost its church and 20-acre compound in northern Idaho in 2000 after a $6.3 million civil judgment led to a bankruptcy filing. He moved into a house bought by a supporter in nearby Hayden, Idaho, and made few public appearances in recent years because of failing health.

1. There is no justice

when a creep like Butler is permitted to die peacefully in his sleep at age 86.

2. You know what they should do to this guy?

Bury him in a black casket. The horror his soul would experience...

Edit: one can only wonder or hope that in his final hours he reflected upon the life he led and realized how much of his energy he has wasted on meaningless divisionary hatred. Perhaps this is wishful thinking but I ponder that.

3. How ironic...

"Butler died peacefully in his sleep, "

Good riddance, creep.

4. Just at the moment many of his dreams are being midwifed into being

by the Busheviks.

Although Butler wasn't famous for understanding nuance (most Nazis aren't) and so he STILL would have thought Bushevik Totalitarianism that is coming was too 'liberal'.

5. Boy, is he going to be surprised if he professed to be a Christian

and is ushered (by a black or other ethnic angel) into the presence of Jesus, the Jew, ready to review his life.

That would be frightening to witness.

8. If Bush is right, as long as he accepted Jesus as his savior

he's going straight to heaven. :eyes:

14. Not everyone who says "Lord, Lord...."

Matthew 7:21-23

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'

(Yep, frightening scenario all right...for a believer)

22. I had a conversation once with an Aryan Nation wife once

when I was living in the Northwest. What she said was so anti-semitic that I had to remind her that Jesus was a jew and she refused to believe me. She actually got very upset with me and refused to talk to me after that, not that I cared.

6. one less vote for bush

7. good fucking riddance

16. My sentiments exactly

:thumbsup: to you

:thumbsdown: to Butler and his ilk.

[arcane1]

18. that's one down...

and sadly, far too many to go :evilfrown:

[obnoxiousdrunk]

9. Is chimpy attending

the funeral ?

[gratuitous]

17. No, but all Republican campaign offices will be closed Friday

Just kidding!

10. Wow. That lucky bastard is probably having drinks with Hitler, dead klan

members, etc.

Must be like the bizzaro afterlife.

[HootieMcBoob]

11. Will Trent Lott speak at the funeral?

Not much difference between Butler and Strom Thurmond back in 1948. And we all know that Trent feels that if Strom had been elected President back then we wouldn't have had "all these problems".

12. How could that be?

When President Clinton came through surgery, Michael Savage said that that was because Hell was full. Did Hell suddenly have a vacancy? :think:

[underpants]

15. Oh brother-Savage actually said that?

What an idiot.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

13. The worms had a headstart on his brain.

He'll find a warm welcome from his pals Hitler, Himmler, etc.

19. I heard it yesterday on the radio and started doing cartwheels.

One more despicable piece of human garbage has been removed from the earth.

[skypilot]

20. In these times we live in...

...an even nastier son of a bitch is probably waiting in the wings to take his place.

[bamacrat]

21. oh no

Well i guess the repukes will be holding a world wide memorial for him huh.

[patdem]

23. Proof once again...Only the Good Die Young!!

What a waste of good oxygen he was for TOO long!!!
