Residents of a north Coeur d'Alene subdivision awoke Friday to find racist fliers on their lawns, distributed as recruitment letters by Aryan Nations, a white supremacist group.
"I saw Aryan Nations and put it in the trash," said Garvin Jones, who lives in the neighborhood southwest of Atlas Road and Prairie Avenue. "What's wrong with these people? Give me a break. I bet if you went back in their family history, not one is 100 percent white."
Jones and dozens of his neighbors found the fliers on their lawns, inside baggies that also held small rocks.
They depicted a girl asking her father what he did during the "revolution" and asking "Where have all the White people gone daddy?" and "Why did those dark men take mommy away?" The fliers were signed "Aryan Nations, Church of Jesus Christ Christian," and listed a post office box and a Web site. The group's address is listed as "Couer d'Alene, Idaho."
The Aryan Nations Web site lists Jerald O'Brien and Michael Lombard as the "pastors" who have taken over after longtime leader Richard Butler's death in September 2004.
O'Brien said area residents can expect the dissemination of "a lot more" fliers and said "like-minded individuals will respond and seek membership." He said the election of President Barack Obama has served as the "greatest recruiting tool ever." He said he had "several handfuls" of members in Coeur d'Alene.

They should be fined stiffly for littering.
So you suggest that the people in Couer d'Alene just ignore them instead of taking action & speaking out against the hatred, prejudice & bigotry that the Aryan Nations preach?
Good for them!!
ROTFLOL!!
True, but one must 'actively ignore' them.
