This is exactly why I read the Turner Diaries and Hunter, the other book by William Pierce (Andrew MacDonald is a pseudonym), Serpent's Walk by Randolph D. Calverhall, The Kloran of the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, Realm of Mississippi, Wake Up, America by Jerry Falwell, Battle for the Mind by Tim LaHaye, A Time To Kill by Michael Bray, the Army of God Manuel, Closed: 99 Ways to Stop Abortion by Joseph M. Scheidler, The Little Red Book by Mao Tse Tung, The Little Green Book by Moammar Qaddafi, The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, Mein Kampf by Adoph Hitler, the Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital by Karl Marx, and the Unabomber Manifesto by Ted Kaczynski. It is important to know those whom you oppose, if only to be prepared for the tricks people of such mindsets might try; they will certainly attempt to understand you, so that they might exploit that understanding.
