Neo-Nazi Killer Said to
Hate Jews, Blacks, Gays

By Jack Nichols

Los Angeles--Buford O Furrow, Jr., who attacked a day camp here, using Jewish children as his targets, and who also killed a Philippine immigrant letter carrier, Joseph Ileto, has been a member of Aryan Nations, a racist/ sexist group.

Along with his announced unhappiness with himself, Furrow is reported to have developed a militant hatred of Jews, blacks and homosexuals.

According to Aryan Nations dogma, these three hated groups are "the spawn of the devil."

More revealing, perhaps, is the book found in Furrow's van, written by Richard Kelly Hoskins, author of a manifesto for the Phineas Priesthood.

Membership in the Priesthood, reportedly, is "earned" through an act of violence perpetrated against any member of the same three targeted groups.

Author Hoskins, who lives in Lynchburg, Virginia (home of the Rev. Jerry Falwell's Thomas Road Baptist Church) shares major political views with TV Preacher Pat Robertson.

Both, it is reported, are in favor of conducting U.S. foreign policy by assassinating those foreign heads of state who are deemed dangerous to U.S. interests.

Bob Kunst, who helped conduct a recent anti-Nazi rally in Washington, D.C. and who has sounded alarms against Nazi anti-Jewish and anti-gay machinations said:

"We must not allow ourselves to wax complacent about these neo-Nazi groups. If Americans were being killed at home from Nazi groups abroad, we'd be ready to nuke 'em, but we're treating everything in apathetic stride because its happening right here."

Gay/Jewish activist Kunst and other Jewish leaders are meeting to discuss needed action at Miami Beach's Temple Beth Shalom, 4144 Chase Avenue, 7 p.m.Monday August 16.

Kunst's groups, Shalom International and the Oral Majority will rally in Washington, D.C. against neo-Nazis in front of the White House on September 1, 10:30 a.m.

At noon, the groups will rally again at the FBI, demanding to Know what that government agency is doing to thwart neo-Nazi hate crimes.

Further down Pennsylvania Avenue, activist Kunst and his cohorts intend to meet with members of the House Judiciary committee to demand Federal Hate Crime legislation.

Just recently, notes the Floridian activist, 'the Vatican attacked Jews with an old anti-Semetic refrain called 'blood libel' because Jews questioned Pope Pius XII for supporting the Holocaust.'

At the same time, the Holy See attacked gays and lesbians as "inherently evil."
