I have not been able to listen to all of this program.  I was struck by how adept the guests are at saying all of the right things.  I had the interesting (?) experience of representing a public agency in both Grant and Wheeler Counties for over a decade and I'm here to tell you the Aryan Nation has done it's homework.  They are indeed a "match" for this area.  As heinous as their beliefs are, and as disgusted I am with their leadership, they are for sure, not stupid.  They have found a community that would support their agendas and there is no amount of "town meetings" and "saying the right things" that will keep them out.
