I mean, really, that is just bad. The ultimate in cheap profiteering, right there.

I'm reading a certain book written by a certain Willie Piece of a certain
NATALL, and it's very interesting. For one, I understand why the police
and other agencies were so damn convinced that it was a white guy offing
everyone during last October, because HUNTER the book, which is a semi
sequel to the Turner Diaries, yes, those Diaries, is centered around a white
guy going around the DC area and popping race mixers.

And yes, I did not pay for the book, in case your wondering :?

Sensationalism and the public's love for that crap, it probably does.

It took this long? The industry must have been on the slow side, or someone had a pang of conscience, hahahah, yeah I'm talking crazy I know.

I'm with Sea Skimmer. I'm suprised it took this long. After all, they were literally starting planning to make a made for TV movie out of the collaspe of the Coldcreek Mine that trapped those nine miners the moment that they pulled them out of the ground.

There's one, which was about one flight attendant, but it ended as she boarded the plane.

The problem is not that they're making a movie, but that you know it will probably be tasteless and exploitive. No one complained about Spielberg's bad taste in making "Shindler's List".

I do believe there is a bit of a difference in this movie and Schindler's List. His was quite respectful and historically accurate. This is a USA movie about a string of murders committed fairly recently, and the odds are, this is EXACTLY what this sick bastard was wanting, stardom.

Of the three big 'racist fiction' books put out by Pierce's National Vanguard Books, Serpent's Walk is by far the best written. The Turner Diaries is just plain poorly written, while Hunter just isn't very entertaining (other than the bit with the old time FBI guy using Yeager as his own personal assassin).


I *did* pay for my books.
I bought them years ago at a gunshow from a guy who stocked all kinds of interesting books by people such as Ragnar Benson and George Hayduke, among others.

All of the publicity convinced me to buy them just to see what the fuss was about.

Gandalf wrote:Who?
She was a 16 year old girl who was having an affair with an older man and she decided to shoot his wife in the head to get rid of her. The woman survived and I believe she divorced her husband, Joey Buttafuoco.

The sick thing about this is that Joey Buttafuoco tried to push this into a 15 minutes of fame type of thing. He sort of became a celebrity similarlly to Monica Lewinsky except that he was porking and underage girl and that girl tried to kill his wife. Basically, the guy was able to get his 15 minutes because of the humor late night tv found in his last name and he also seemed to do a bunch of dumb shit that kept his name in the news.

There were three movies made about Amy Fisher. I think Drew Barrymore and Alyssa Milano played her in two of the movies I don't recall who was in the third.

I think the big factor in it not being as acceptable for the DC Sniper movie to be made right now is that it happened just last year, not 50 years ago as with Schindlers List. People need time to get over things like that, a year is not enough IMO.

Is that the DC 9/11 one with Bush and the others, or something else I haven't seen yet?

Would you mind mailing me that one? I'd like to read it, but I'd rather
not spend any more of my money than necessary on it. (PS I can pay
shipping)

Yes. And it was horrible. After listening to Dubya (who didn't sound like the real thing at all) going on how Saddam attacked us and we should bomb him for 3 minutes, I promptly changed the channel.

Have a very nice day.
