Let's start with your guy, Hal. And allow me to exceprt just the beginning of his bio:
Harold "Hal" Turner is an American white nationalist and white supremacist from North Bergen, New Jersey. He ran his program, The Hal Turner Show,
as a webcast from his home once a week, and depended on donations by his listeners. He quit the show in July 2008. In August his website also closed
down, though he retains a blog.
Turner has often made news for his extreme right-wing views. He promotes antisemitism (including rounding up and killing Jews)[1] and opposes the
existence of the state of Israel.[2] He also denies the Holocaust.[3] In 2005, Turner organized what he billed as a "rally against violence" after a
white student was beaten by a black student at a high school. In 2006, he got in a fight with Jaime Vazquez, a former Jersey City deputy mayor, after
Vazquez called him a racist coward. Turner has made numerous threats against political figures on his website and in other forums.
...and that's just for starters. If anyone bothers to read the footnoted link, they will see the rest of the measure of that man.
I think we at ATS can do better...
Having said that, he would be the perfect unknowing dis-info agent type.
He is clearly an extremist ego-maniac who believes he speaks for the 'common man' and grasps desperately at whatever strings of 'power' find
themselves cast in his general direction, and he has seemingly learned how to knit those strings into something of use to him (hmmm... that desc. is
also reminding me of a few other 'leaders'... ).
