Hate site’s members linked to 100 murders in 5 years

Stormfront.org, America’s most popular online hate site founded in 1995 by former Ku Klux Klan leader Don Black, has registered members that Southern Poverty Law Center linked to almost 100 murders in the past five years.

One of its most popular “social groups” is “Fans and Supporters of Adolf Hitler.” They sometimes call the Holocaust the “Holohoax.”

Even the website title, Stormfront, sounds like a variation of the Nazi stormtroopers of World War II infamy.

200,000 to 400,000 Americans visit the site monthly. They are mostly white, bigoted, young (64% are under 30) and male (70%).

Targets are African-Americans, which is not surprising, Mexicans, gays and Jews (they do love Hitler, remember).

The biggest increase in membership in Stormfront’s history, by far, was Nov. 5, 2008, the day after Barack Obama was elected President.

Hate is not relegated to the poor and unemployed: Economists Roland G. Fryer Jr. and Steven D. Levitt found that Ku Klux Klan members were better educated than the typical American.
