| Hal Turner
DaveFromQueens had a diary concerning Hal
Turner's relationship to Sean Hannity.
If Dave had survived, I wonder
how he would feel about the possibility of
Michael Fingerit being friends with Sean.
I mean, just go back into the DKos archives,
or take my word for it, Dave showed up on Fingerit's
radar for banishment, when he
had ratcheted up his activism against
Hannity and a numbnut named Mark Levin.
Ha, while trying to track down that link, I
found another DFQ DKos entry concerning
Hannity and Turner.
Did Sean Hannity Have Sex With Hal Turner?
And another:
Nazi Hal Turner Acknowledges Friendship With Hannity
The following story on Hal Turner linking him
to the FBI seems legit. It also makes one
wonder what other right woos left internet
nutjobs may be in bed with the FBI {internet cointelpro?}.
Mike Rivero? Alex Jones? There
are a lot of frothers on the net
confusing hate speech and the politics of fear
for patriotism and good American values.
They appear on the surface as truthseekers
and activitsts. But after a bit of research,
one can figure out their true objectives.
This Hal Turner story reminds me very much of
what went on with Rivero's fascist WRH "Unofficial" forum. Modern day
cointelpro does indeed appear to be operating
on these forums. Maybe MajorFlaw also has a
direct contact?
Someone covered this story quite well over
at DailyCIAKos.
Hannity's Neo-Nazi Buddy, FBI front?
Here is the reported email exchange between Rivero's and
Sean Hannity's buddy, Hal Turner, and his FBI "Cointelpro" handlers.
Is Sean Hannity on the same FBI contact list
as Turner?
It appears that back in 2001, both of these
slobs were in on a same but, but, but Clinton story.

"Eleven days ago, this web site ran the story
but no other media outlet took up the cause."
This is not true. I heard this very story originally on
Sean Hannity's radio show, about
2 weeks ago, I believe. Presumably this
was the day the story "broke", and I
haven't listened to Sean since then, so I
don't know if any follow-up was
done.
Mike Rivero and Hal Turner are good cop, bad
cop and seemingly on the same payroll. Who put
Hal Turner on the map? That would be Sean
Hannity of Fox-News.
There's plenty of good info at the following url.

One People's Project:
If there is anyone who seemingly
hates us more than any chump we post here it
is this guy. Hal Turner ran for the
Republican nomination for Congress in 2000 in
the 13th District in an attempt to
unseat incumbent Bob Melendez. He was also
the Campaign Chair for Murray Sabrin when he
ran for NJ Governor in 1997. If Sabrin won
his current bid for Senator, he said he wanted
to pass the torch to him. Some of us were not
too keen on that because we had flagged him as
a racist trying to slip into the mainstream.
We were right......
Hal Turner appears to be a modern day cointelpro punk.

Hannity's Soul-Mate of Hate
by Max Blumenthal
June 3, 2005
This year a man named Hal Turner sat before
his computer at his suburban home in North
Bergen, New Jersey, posting bomb-making
tips on his website, hailing the firebombing
of an apartment containing "Savage Negroes"
and calling for the murder of immigrants.
"When enough illegal aliens get killed they
will stop coming to the country!" Turner wrote.
Turner was once a prominent activist
in New Jersey's Republican Party. To
area conservatives, he was best known by
his moniker for call-ins to the Sean
Hannity Show, "Hal from North Bergen."
For years, Hannity offered his top-rated
radio show as a regular forum for
Turner's occasionally racist, always
over-the-top rants. Hannity also chatted with
him off-air, allegedly offering encouragement
to Turner as he struggled to overcome a
cocaine habit and homosexual leanings. Turner
has boasted that Hannity once invited Turner
and his son on to the set of Fox News's
[i]Hannity and Colmes[i]. Today, Turner lurks
on the fringes of the far right,
spouting hate-laced tirades on his webcast
radio show. Hannity, meanwhile, remains mum
about his former alliance with the
neo-Nazi, homing in instead on the supposed
racism of black and Latino Democrats.....
Looking at the link above from the
Blumenthal excerpt, how is Hal Turner not
some form of "Cointelpro?" Could Hal Turner
be "Ender" from Rivero's WhatReallyHappened
forum {not to be confused for the Ender
from DKos}? There's really no need to refer
to it as the "Unofficial" forum. They archive Rivero's letters.
Rivero prominently linked to that shitrag of
a forum. That place is part and parcel of
the infiltration of the internet by paid hacks
and shills. Hal Turner could definitely have
been "Ender."
They are probably all on the same payroll,
one which saturates the net with lies and provocations.
Sherman Austin got busted for something he
never did, but this pond scum named Hal
Turner could post shit like this and never
get arrested?
Both Hal Turner and Ender from Rivero's forum
are two peas in a pod. Good thing may41970
copied and pasted that original agent
provocateur crap from Ender, before it
got scrubbed. May41970 had called Ender out
for sounding like Cointelpro. Now it turns
out another hatemonger, Sean Hannity's buddy,
was informing for the FBI. Here's aan excerpt
from a newspaper piece on Hal Turner, a real
life "Ender."
Times Herald-Record
White power rally leader was FBI snitch: law center
By Paul Brooks
January 17, 2008
Hal Turner stalked in front of Kingston
High School with his neo-Nazi supporters in
2005, tossing white-power taunts at counter-demonstrators.
That was just part of his legacy. He
railed against President Bush and Jews, too.
He handed out the private addresses of New
Jersey Supreme Court justices.
But some government agencies are OK if you
work for them - and Turner apparently did.
He was an FBI informant, according to the
Southern Poverty Law Center, a group that
monitors hate groups and extremists.
According to the center, hackers confronted
Turner on his Web site Jan. 1 and told him
they had broken into Turner's computer server.
What they found were e-mails between Turner and
an FBI agent who was apparently Turner's
handler. The unidentified hackers posted a
July 7 e-mail to the agent. In it, Turner gave
the agent a message from someone threatening
to kill Sen. Russ Feingold, Democrat of
Wisconsin, the center said in a story on its
Web site, splcenter.org.
"Once again," Turner wrote to the agent,
"my fierce rhetoric has served to flush out
a possible crazy."
When the e-mails hit a neo-Nazi Web site,
Turner shut down his own Web site. "I
hereby separate from the "pro-White" movement.
I will no longer involve myself in any aspect
of it," Turner said.
Yesterday, Turner said the only thing he can
say about the FBI allegation is "no comment."
The FBI hasn't commented, either.
The center's Mark Potok didn't object to the
FBI's use of informants in general. "There is
no question these are groups in many, many
cases that really do need infiltrating, but
... this goes way over the line. It is like a
game of Russian roulette and we are the bait."
Kingston Mayor Jim Sottile was dumbfounded by
the revelation of Turner's FBI informant
status. "You can't make this stuff up," the
mayor said.
Maybe Turner was acting all the time,
Sottile said. "But it wasn't an act when he
had this whole community in an uproar and cost
us $80,000."
I had found that article from a blog
called PhillyBits. The blogger there has access to who is
visiting his place. He posted that the
blogpost titled "Famed Racist Hal Turner:
FBI Snitch?" got a visit from the Department
of Justice. This reminds me of who paid a visit
to Progressive Gold after an article
was written on Bob Parsons of GoDaddy. They had
a guest from the Office of the Secretary
of Commerce. [/wow]
P.S. - Maybe it means something, maybe it
doesn't. But somebody at the US Dept. of
Justice is looking up the Hal Turner story
too. Curiosity? Damage control? Who knows...
