2. Excellent list, but not quite comprehensive. I found a much longer one
I'll have to dig around and re-locate it.

There's also a very good list on The Southern Poverty Law Center site as well.

12. Here is a really, REALLY huge list. 129 pages in .pdf
Edited on Sun Jun-05-05 07:58 PM by IanDB1
The March 1, 2005 release of the Hate Directory is now available in non-printable Portable Document Format. Features now include directories of blogs, web rings and racist games available on the Internet, as well as racialist friendly web hosting services. You will require the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. As in previous editions, all links are clickable, allowing you to access the sites directly from the index.

Printed copies of the 129 page Directory are available without cost to law enforcement and human rights agencies and organizations from the address above. Others please enclose $10.00 to cover processing. Checks should be made payable to Raymond A. Franklin.

in .PDF
http://www.bcpl.net/~rfrankli/hatedir.pdf

On edit:
Sadly, even the 129 page list is far from complete. Several groups I am personally aware of are absent even from that list.

I've been wanting a list like this for a while now...

This is an enormously valuable resource, Thanks to all who contributed.

Can we get this up on Demopedia somehow?

18. It was no effort at all. But the question now is WHAT'S NEXT?
Edited on Sun Jun-05-05 09:20 PM by paineinthearse
It was no effort at all. Just visited TOWNHALL.COM

There is lots of information "out there", some of it is very convenient to pick.

Now let's all adopt one, visit it regularly, and monitor its activities.

Adding to Demopedia is an excellent idea.

19. you must have registered as a member of the Democratic Underground Discuss
you must have registered as a member of the Democratic Underground Discussion Forums (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss) before December 7, 2004. During this BETA testing period, we are not accepting new Demopedia registrations.

I left another group and came to DU after this cut-off date, thus cannot get in. C'est la vie.

Emad Hajjaj, Al-Ghad Newspaper, Amman, Jordan

www.missionnotaccomplished.us - How ever long it takes, the day must come when tens of millions of caring individuals peacefully but persistently defy the dictator, deny the corporatists cash flow, and halt the evil being done in Iraq, and in all the other places the Bu$h neoconster regime is destroying civilization and the environment in the name of "America."
