"Find a book called "The Tuner Diaries" and read it". --Steve
Mr. Paraquat, if you find truth and inspiration in the book "The Turner Diaries", then you concern me very much...That book is the "Bible" for every racist, white supremist, neo-nazi hate-group and organization in the country. This being the case, I would find it not only unpleasant to associate with you, but downright dangerous. I suggest you educate yourself.

The Turner Diaries
From Wikipedia
<snip>
The Turner Diaries is a novel written in 1978 by William Luther Pierce (former leader of the white supremist organization National Alliance) under the pseudonym "Andrew Macdonald".[1] The Turner Diaries depicts a violent revolution in the United States which leads to the overthrow of the United States federal government, nuclear war, and, ultimately, to a race war leading to the extermination of all "impure" groups such as Jews, gay people, and non-whites.[2] The book was called "explicitly racist and anti-Semitic" by The New York Times and has been labeled a "bible of the racist right" by the Southern Poverty Law Center.[3][4]
The novel has been associated with a number of real-life violent crimes committed by white separatists and other radicals. Two pages of the book containing a scene depicting preparation for the bombing of the J. Edgar Hoover Building, the FBI national headquarters, were found in the getaway car of Timothy McVeigh, the perpetrator of the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995.[5][6]
The epilogue's exultation that in 1989, "exactly a century after the birth of The Great One (Adol Hitler)... the dream of a White world finally became a certainty", becomes "just 110 years" after Adolf Hitler's birth.
According to the Anti-Defamation League, the Turner Diaries is "probably the most widely read book among far-right extremists; many have cited it as the inspiration behind their terrorist organizing and activity." The Simon Wiesenthal Center calls it a "hate book".
The novel was initially only available through mail order and partially serialized in National Alliance publications. As of 2000 it was reported to have sold about 500,000 copies.
Crimes associated with the book:
The Order, an early 1980s Christian extremist and white supremacist group that emerged out of the Aryan Nations, was involved in murder, robberies and counterfeiting, and was named after the group in the book and motivated by the book's scenarios for a race war. The group committed one of the biggest highway robberies of all time, then murdered radio host Alan Berg and engaged in other acts of violence in order to hasten the race war described in the book.John William King was convicted of dragging James Byrd, an African-American, to his death in Jasper, Texas in 1998. As King shackled Byrd's legs to the back of his truck he was reported to have said, "We're going to start The Turner Diaries early."
During the course of a federal trial relating to charges of conspiracy to violate civil rights and assault under color of law of Frank Jude, Jr. in 2004 by several off-duty police officers in Milwaukee Wisconsin, a copy of The Turner Diaries was found during a search of the home of one of the officers charged and later convicted.
A copy of The Turner Diaries was found (amidst other Neo-Nazi propaganda) in the home of Jacob D. Robida, who attacked 3 men at a gay bar with a hatchet and a gun. Robida fled, killing a hostage and a police officer before committing suicide.
David Copeland, a British Neo-Nazi who killed three people in a bombing campaign against London's black, Asian and gay communities in April 1999, quoted from The Turner Diaries while being interviewed by police.
