In an odd twist of events, the Aryan Nations claims its being discriminated against as their public pronouncement of wanting to move the group from Athol, Idaho to John Day, Oregon has been met with an overwhelmingly negative response. So many people in fact turned out to a public meeting to protest the Aryan Nations looking into buying land in the John Day area that hundreds of people had to be turned away.Paul Mullet, the 36-year-old self-proclaimed leader of the Aryan Nations, says his group has gotten angry e-mails, phone calls and negative publicity from a planned moved to eastern Oregon and he says he doesn't understand why.“I do have this one question to John Day itself. What did we do to anyone in that community?"/Tania Dall, KXLY. More here.

Question: Is white supremacist Mullet being discriminated against as a result of the backlash he's facing ever before he follows through with plans to move to John Day, Ore.? Do you care?
