Hal Turner--the racist radio talk show host that held a "Raly against Black Gang Terrorism" last August in Kalamazoo--is reportedly an FBI informant. According to an email obtained by computer hackers, Turner acted as an informant and passed along information to the FBI and a New Jersey State Police sergeant about a threat on the life of Senator Russ Feingold.
Turner had a history of making--even for the racist movement--over-the-top statements advocating the assassination of political leaders, immigrants crossing the border, and anti-racist activists. Some, such as the anti-racist group One People's Project are not surprised that Turner might be acting as an informant. It could explain why he has been able to get away with such statements.
