My Dinner at Applebee's With White Supremacists!

First off, I highly recommend you not try this at home.

I decide to infiltrate a white supremacist hate group by posing as an eager new recruit, a new hater, if you will. I want to put a face on extreme hate, to find out the hobbies of haters, what haters find hot and what haters find not. I want to learn what someone in a hate group really loooooooves. Ice cream? Everyone loves ice cream. I love ice cream. Maybe hate groups love ice cream, too?

So Many Hate Groups, So Little Time

I go online, trolling for hate groups. Who knew there was so much organized hate around? Which one to choose? Why, there's the Aryan Nation, the World Church of the Creator, and the National Socialist Movement, not to mention the White Aryan Resistance, the White Power Liberation Front, and, of course, the kooky and lovable Ku Klux Klan.

After sending out many e-mails under the pseudonym of hater-to-be Hal Haterman, I find my hate group. And believe me, it's a good one! Its Web site rails on about "the Negroid filth churned out by MTV and the other Jewish promoters of anti-White music intended to demoralize, corrupt, and deracinate young Whites." My, someone's panties are certainly in a bundle.

It gets better. The founder of the organization wrote a whopper of a book that's an awesome detailed blueprint for race war and is credited with inspiring young Timothy McVeigh to bomb the Federal Building in Oklahoma City. Hurrah for hate!

1. He chose the National Alliance.

Founder William Pierce (now thankfully dead) wrote the "Turner Diaries," the "race war" classic which McVeigh was said to have studied.

I know too much about hate groups.

2. Frightening.

Very frightening. "Natural population control"? What scares me most is his comment about how normal they looked...

Frightening. And so very sad....

6. I think I know where that Applebees is.

I'm guessing Santa Rosa, which is about that far from SF (1 hour on a good day) and we have a university in Rohnert Park. However, ha, ha, we have Asians here. Not only that, there was an incedence in RP before Thanksgiviving where hate flyers were left on people's lawns, door steps, and car windows.

7. This would be a very funny story, if it weren't so friggin' scary.
