Hate Groups Riled Up Over Prospect of President Obama

Social Club or White Power Group?

"We are a club, so we get together, socialize, more of a social type thing for people of the same views," said Edwards. "Do we hate? No we don't hate. We hate certain people and things that go on in the world."

But Edwards sings a different tune, one of extreme hate, when he is with his followers. He is a kind of rock star on the hate circuit for his song "No Mercy", performed at what are called Nordic fests, a Woodstock for the Neo-Nazi, skinhead set.

"What about the Jews? No mercy!," Edwards is seen singing in a video from a concert three years ago. "What about the spics No Mercy? What about the N*****s? No Mercy! What about the Faggots? No mercy? What about the Traitors? No mercy!"

But when asked about the song by ABC News, Edwards replied, "I didn't write that song."

"People, like us, we like to joke, that's pretty much a joke," Edwards said shortly before trying to stop the interview. Edwards stormed off at least four times during the ABC News interview after becoming upset over questions about his club's racist views.

"They have what they call a public front, to tell you that hey, we're not violent, we don't promote violence, we're just interested in getting our views across, representing white people's interest and free speech," said Dees. "But they have a private side represented by the Dan Cowart and his associate, this individual in this case, these groups would certainly never never admit."

Edwards says the man arrested in the Obama death plot, Daniel Cowart, was never a full member of the Supreme White Alliance, the SWA. But Cowart is seen pictured at a SWA party this April to honor the birthday of Adolph Hitler.

Edwards say Obama, for his race, is a smart man, and that he is opposed to any effort to kill him, but he again tried to stop the interview when asked if he would call the police if a member of his group expressed any desire to harm Obama.

While most white supremacist groups have drawn the line at mentioning violence against Obama, a recent example shows that some long-kept quite feelings of hate groups are beginning to emerge, according to equality advocates.
