Aryan Newsletter Found on West Side (Madison, WI)

(Resident tells cops: 'It's very disturbing')

A white supremacy publication is stirring concern in the west side neighborhood where copies have been appearing in driveways.

"It's very disturbing," said one resident who did not want her name used because she said she fears retaliation. She discovered an issue of the 16-page tabloid Aryan Alternative on Monday in the driveway of the Langlois Street house where she lives with her husband in the Glen Oak Hills neighborhood.

She described the paper as racist and anti-Jewish.

The Aryan Alternative, published in Kirksville, Mo., has a circulation of 70,000 nationwide, director of distribution Glenn Miller said Tuesday. Many copies are delivered unsolicited or handed out on street corners, he said.

"I pass them out wherever we go to white people," Miller said. "We're trying to wake up white people."

The publisher of the paper is Alex Linder, founder of the Vanguard News Network who, according to the Anti-Defamation League, split with the neo-Nazi National Alliance to found the White Freedom Party. Copies of the newspaper wrapped in plastic shopping bags were visible in two driveways on Merrill Crest Drive on Tuesday.

Madison police spokesman Carlos Valentin said that as of Tuesday two complaints about the newspapers had been received from residents of the Glen Oak Hills neighborhood.

But distributing offensive literature is not a crime, he said.

"If they are not making specific threats, it's hard to prove the literature is doing any harm," Valentin said. "If people don't like where it's coming from, they can dump it in the trash."

Steve Braunginn, a longtime local civil rights activist and resident of the neighborhood, says that's not enough.

He's encouraging Ald. Noel Radomski to speak on the issue at the next meeting of the City Council.

"Let's have Madison stand up straight and tall and declare in one unified voice: Get out, you're not welcome here."

Radomski was not available for comment Tuesday.

I often wondered why these people call themselves "Aryan" ............The Aryans were olive skinned people I believe........

I only read it for the comics.  I can't find "Superiority is the White Man's Burden, Charlie Bruan" in any other paper.

They should distribute a few in San Francisco, just for a little experiment in mass-hysteria.

Were they just as disturbed when some local groups celebrated the racist black nationalist violent thug founded marxism spreading holiday called Kwanzaa? I think not.

Shame.

Using the same words as the racists used to say to people like him.

Innocent question No. 1

Why are black supremacy organizations such as the NAACP, PUSH and the Rainbow Coalition seen as OK and even get tax money, while white supremacy organizations are always condemned?

Anyone?

I'd find it disturbing thinking that I've been targeted by them for membership somehow, but I think it was a random act, and it's a slow news week around here. A 70,000 circulation nation-wide? That's nothing.

I'd read it as if it were "The Onion." Heck, I'd send it on to "The Onion" publishers, or the "Scrappleface" folks and let them work their magic. Satire is really only good if it's partially true.

Amazing response from the same Leftist trash hyperventilating about the NSA non story. Amazing how "Civil Liberties concerns" only apply to those the Democrat Party establishment approves of, Like Arab Terrorists. Just stunning how Madison can get all panicked over 3 inbred clowns in bedsheets publishing a "new paper" while expressing ZERO concern about groups that have all ready murdered 3000 plus American Civilians.

Most white supremacy orgs tend to be more aggressive with their tactics than PUSH/Rainbow or NAACP. Then there's the lingering backlash against the excesses of Jim Crow. The pushback is starting, though: witness the high school kid who tried to start a whites club at his school, and other similar white-heritage (but not anti-anything) attempts.

Not yet, anyways. Thoughtcrime will become criminal before long.

Why don't the writings of the Nation of Islam draw the same criticisms of antisemitism and racism???

If people throw crap in my driveway, I try to find a contact phone number, then call and insist they come and remove the litter they threw in my yard.

If there's no phone number, and the material is offensive, I call the local law enforcement...on the non-emergency number...and report the littering.

Littering, it seems is against the law. Use the law.
