----==Most Notorious Sniper_Joseph Paul Franklin==----

Actually Mr. Joseph Paul Franklin isn't that notorious, though he should
be. Why is it that at a time when a sniper is dominating the news Mr.
Franklin is not seen, but instead images of killers who in no way resemble
the Beltway Sniper such as Ted Bundy are shown again and again?
The Beltway Sniper needs to bag another nine victims, that's bag as in
body bag, just to tie Mr. Franklin. The Beltway Sniper also needs to wound
two famous people and make a permanent cripple out of one as Mr. Joseph
Paul Franklin did to Hustler Magazine publisher Larry Flint.

The chilling story of racist serial killer Joseph Paul Franklin draws from
more than 30 hours of exclusive Death Row interviews with Franklin to
deliver shocking new information on the horrifying hate crimes that were
motivated by Franklin零 vicious racism, sexual anxiety and paranoia.
James Clayton Vaughn legally changed his name in 1976, choosing Joseph to
honor Nazi Paul Joseph Goebbels and Franklin for Ben Franklin's
industriousness. Claiming that he was commanded by God to start a race
war, Franklin was until recently the only known serial killer to cite
racism as his motive. This special probes Franklin's psyche, challenging
his questionable assertions that he is a serial assassin, not a serial
killer, and that he is motivated by political conviction, not sexual
fantasy or aggression.
From 1977 to 1980 Franklin targeted mixed race couples, African-Americans
and Jews, committing at least 20 murders in twelve states. He shot and
paralyzed Hustler publisher Larry Flynt because the magazine dedicated an
issue to interracial sex. He also shot and wounded Vernon Jordan, then
president of the Urban League.
The show reviews Franklin's life, from his abused childhood in Alabama to
his career as a rising member of the American Nazi Party and the Ku Klux
Klan. Court TV speaks with Franklin about his crimes, reports from the
crime scenes, and interviews victims' family members, detectives involved
in the cases and the murderer's own family.
An interview with civil rights lawyer Morris Dees is also included, in
which Dees refers to Hunter, a novel by Dr. William Pierce. Pierce
authored the infamous Turner Diaries, the vicious fantasy of race war that
inspired the Oklahoma City bombings. The title page of The Hunter, written
in 1989, boasts a chilling dedication to Franklin, calling him "a devoted
son of his race, who did what any white man should do, without regard for
the personal consequences."
Franklin is known on the Internet though. Just click and read all the
posts about him:

I remember this one -- it was about 1980 or so. Jordan was shot outside his
motel room in Indiana at about 2 am, in the company of a married white woman
-- a woman who was married to someone other than Jordan. She had been active
in a local fundraiser that he had been conducting. After the shooting, she
went into seclusion, saying only that they were going back to his motel room
"for coffee". At 2 am? Sure. The media dutifully reported this without
comment, but there were certainly a lot of tongues wagging.
If I recall correctly, the shooter beat the rap on this one.

This post is an utter load of crap a pure fabrication. Nothing in it
is true. No one knows who shot the disgusting deviant known as Larry
Flynt for instance.
This is simply an attempt to make political capital out of the Beltway
sniper.
