Hatemongers: Let them fade into obscurity

Maybe Fred Phelps can wind up like '70s Illinois Nazi leader

<snip>A hateful little man

His name was Frank Collin. In 1976, Collin was the leader of a small group of Nazi sympathizers who petitioned to march in the village of Skokie, with its population more than 50 percent Jewish, including many Holocaust survivors.

Like Fred Phelps and his evil clique of twisted disciples showing up at military funerals to celebrate the deaths of American heroes, Collin and his fellow hatemongers wanted to trumpet their despicable, delusional beliefs in places where they could create the biggest stir and inflict the most pain.

<snip>What a resume

The man who once led the charge to march in Skokie is a convicted child molester who believes certain rock formations at the bottom of a lake in Wisconsin are in fact the ruins of ancient pyramids.

Seriously.

After serving three years in the 1980s for taking sexual liberties with underage boys, Collin changed his name to Frank Joseph and began writing for the Ancient American, which follows the "diffusionist" belief that whites were in America in pre-Columbian times and came up with some of the more brilliant inventions and innovations attributed to Indians.

One of the greatest movies. Ever.
