E. Allen Smith actually might have written:
I've seen various quotes from Randy Weaver in various publications, including Time and other non-right-wing ones. None of them indicated him as an actual neo-Nazi or racist
BWAHAHAHA!!! Here's a URL for a *highly sympathetic* piece on Weaver that complains that, "I will be happier when the press stops demonizing Weaver -- in subtle and not so subtle ways -- in news stories and editorials. He is referred to so consistently as "White Separatist Randall Weaver" that one would be forgiven for assuming that his parents gave him the first name "White," while "Separatist" was some old family name handed down from his maternal aunt": http://www.omnet.com/What-I-Think/col.09-01-95B.html Here are some *highly sympathetic* URLs that mention that Weaver was a white separatist/Aryan Nations wacko: http://www.scimitar.com/revolution/by_topic/firearms/enforce/rubyridge/setup... http://eagle.tamu.edu/~carlp/Liberty/Weaver.Case.AR.html A slightly more balanced piece from the New York Times: http://eagle.tamu.edu/~carlp/Liberty/Weaver.Case.NYT.html FWIW, the Anti-Defamation League, which I am *well aware* has said sily things about militias and skinheads in the past, mentions Weaver in this report: http://www.almanac.bc.ca/cgi-bin/ftp.pl?people/w/weaver.randy/aryan-nations I have also heard Weaver cited quite favorably on the Stormfront list, which has repudiated Timothy McVeigh because his friend Terry Nichols has a Filipino wife. This makes McVeigh a Race Traitor by association, of course. -rich
