Remember the "Hate Bus"

[packman]

In 1961, the newly created American Nazi Party devised a timely vehicle for instigation familiar to the left-leaning hippies of the time—just not based on love. They called it the “Hate Bus,” and it was packed tight with resentment.

Led by party founder George Lincoln Rockwell, this caravan of un-merry pranksters planned to traverse the South harassing Freedom Riders and spreading an anti-miscegenation message. The decorated exterior of their blue-and-white Volkswagen read, “Lincoln Rockwell’s Hate Bus: we do hate race mixing, we hate Jew-communism.”

....

Six years after his trip to Louisiana, Rockwell was assassinated in the parking lot of an Arlington laundromat. The gunman was John Patler, a disgruntled subordinate and the former driver of the hate bus.
