Right Meets Far Right
A January meeting of anti-immigration activists in Cullman,
Ala., illustrates the increasing intermingling of "mainstream"
right-wingers with neo-Nazi, Klan and antigovernment
extremist elements from around North America.
In a day laced with anti-Mexican and anti-Asian oratory and
the burning of a Mexican flag, leaders of the Voice of Citizens
Together and the U.S. Taxpayers Party -- which typically
describe themselves as legitimate, non-racist organizations --
mingled with Klansmen, Skinheads, militia activists and
others.
Among those attending on Jan. 17 were Paul Fromm, a
Holocaust denier who is director of the Canadian Association
of Free Expression and founder of Citizens for Foreign Aid
Reform; William Burchfield, an Alabama Klan leader; an
unidentified Skinhead with "Born to Hate" tattooed on one
arm; Don Crumm of the Alabama chapter of the U.S.
Taxpayers Party; Glenn Spencer, president of the
anti-immigration Voice of Citizens Together, and militia
minstrel Carl Klang.
