AP Downplays Hal Turner’s Role as Paid Patsy
Posted: November 30th, 2009 by Militant Libertarian
“Report: FBI paid controversial NJ blogger for help” The AP is apparently trying to downplay this back page story’s significance by intimating that Hal Turner was just a blogger. No, Hal Turner was a widely listened to talk radio host who was paid by the FBI to incite violence against the government.The Record of Bergen County reported Sunday that Hal Turner received thousands of dollars from the FBI to report on neo-Nazis and white supremacist groups and was sent undercover to Brazil.
Turner also claims the FBI coached him to make racist, anti-Semitic and other threatening statements on his radio show, but the newspaper also found many federal officials were concerned that his audience might follow up on his violence rhetoric.
The newspaper reviewed numerous government documents, e-mails, court records and almost 20 hours of jailhouse interviews with Turner.
He goes on trial Tuesday in New York, accused of making death threats against three Chicago-based federal appeals judges after saying in Internet postings in June the judges “deserve to be killed” because they had refused to overturn handgun bans in Chicago and suburban Oak Park.
