A former Ku Klux Klan member, William Mark Mize, shot Eddie Tucker with a shotgun, execution-style, in October 1994 after Tucker didn't carry out an order to burn down a crack house, state prosecutors said.]]> http://www.religionnewsblog.com/23404/william-mark-mize/feed 0 http://www.religionnewsblog.com/23180/john-h-tanton http://www.religionnewsblog.com/23180/john-h-tanton#comments Tue, 20 Jan 2009 10:56:22 +0000 Religion News Blog http://www.religionnewsblog.com/?p=23180 The man who founded the Virginia nonprofit paying for the push to make English Nashville's official language also is behind several organizations that have been labeled hate groups.

Dr. John H. Tanton, a retired eye surgeon, started both ProEnglish and the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).

The Southern Poverty Law Center identified FAIR as a hate group last winter based on its acceptance of $1.2 million from a white supremacist organization, employees' ties to other such groups and a history of "anti-Latino and anti-Catholic attitudes."]]> http://www.religionnewsblog.com/23180/john-h-tanton/feed 0 http://www.religionnewsblog.com/23104/hate-group-7 http://www.religionnewsblog.com/23104/hate-group-7#comments Mon, 29 Dec 2008 12:01:50 +0000 Religion News Blog http://www.religionnewsblog.com/?p=23104 Type the name “Martin Luther King” into the popular Google Internet search engine, and find a surprise: among the expected university and newspaper links, one site — the third highest ranked link — stands out.

It attacks the personal life of the slain civil rights leader and, by extension, the movement of nonviolence he championed. It rehashes allegations of plagiarism and adultery and accuses King of fraud, claiming he was not a “legitimate reverend” or “bonafide Ph.D.”

The site is run by a white supremacist group called Stormfront, described by one watchdog organization as the largest “hate group” online ]]> http://www.religionnewsblog.com/23104/hate-group-7/feed 0 http://www.religionnewsblog.com/22984/hate-groups-13 http://www.religionnewsblog.com/22984/hate-groups-13#comments Wed, 26 Nov 2008 13:17:09 +0000 Religion News Blog http://www.religionnewsblog.com/?p=22984 Barely three weeks after Americans elected their first black president amid a wave of interracial good feeling, a spasm of noose hangings, racist graffiti, vandalism and death threats is convulsing dozens of towns across the country as white extremists lash out at the new political order.

Even more ominously, America's most potent symbol of racial hatred - the Ku Klux Klan - has begun to reassert itself, emerging from decades of disorganization and obscurity in a spate of recent violence.

The hate groups are on the rise as they market themselves to middle America, according to leaders of the groups and organizations that monitor them.
