FBI investigates white supremacist death threats from friend of Washington Times editors
By John Gorenfeld Thu Jun 21, 2007 at 06:58:49 PM EST


Quite a number of African-American community leaders have welcomed the Rev. Sun Myung Moon as a modern-day Martin Luther King, Jr. One commentator has called him a role model for black fatherhood, even hailing his mass weddings as an antidote to "the imagined lure of thug life."

In fact, as Bill Berkowitz reported, such have been the efforts of the Unification Church to identify itself with the black civil rights legacy that it won $80,000 in federal funds to celebrate King's birthday. Moon's son, the charming Hyun Jin, has even said: "It has been my father's work that's really raised Martin Luther King onto the national level, to be respected nationally."

Then there the father's other work--pouring $3 billion since 1982 into the Washington Times, which has become a veritable employment agency for racist loons.

A former Times-man now reports that the man who is whipping up a racial harassment campaign against Leonard Pitts, Jr., syndicated columnist, is a good friend and likely soulmate of Times editors.

His name is Bill White and he enjoys wearing Nazi uniforms. He has written four pieces for the Times and he has been quoted by the paper as an authority on some crackpot alternate money proposal--the stuff of white militiamen who claim the Articles of Confederation were never thrown out, we're technically still under Admiralty Law and so all taxes are illegal if you think about it...

But back to the point. White runs the Web site Overthrow.com, whose members are now facing FBI investigation for having printed Pitts's street address and whipping up hatred.

"Frankly, if some loony took the info and killed him, I wouldn't shed a tear," White told a reporter. "That also goes for your whole newsroom."

1. "Quite a number of African-American community leaders have welcomed the Rev. Sun Myung Moon as a
...modern-day Martin Luther King, Jr." Wow, I can only say, I did not know that.

I'd be interested in knowing the number. After all, zero is a number.

3. Wow...
...Bill White. What a loon. And he's written for the Times? That's hilarious. I feel ashamed that I've actually had the displeasure of meeting the guy, and he's just as much a keyboard kowboy as he comes off in every bit on him, but even more so.
