Yes, David, those skinhead parties/demonstrations in D.C. didn't help the Alliance at all. The one you describe was soon after Dr. Pierce died. Dr. Pierce frowned on these demonstrations and wrote about it for several months in the NA monthly BULLETINs in early 2002. It's like Gliebe and Roper and those fellows couldn't hear what Dr. Pierce was telling us: http://nationalvanguard.org/2015/06/dr- ... -movement/David Pringle wrote:...In the early '00's the NA held a series of rallies around the country culminating in a 500 person rally held in Washington DC. It sapped resources, we had to have a concert so 500 people would actually have a reason to show, and in the end it generated almost zero tangible gains...
The most successful of the big demonstrations the Alliance put on back then was our first one, organized entirely by NA, but with a front group: Concerned Citizens of Chatham County (CCCC). We advertised on local radio and in the local papers, and passed out hundreds of CCCC fliers. More than 1,000 friendly Whites attended, mostly local Chatham County, NC, residents who had had a bellyful by then of their town, Siler City, being called "Little Mexico" for all of the Mexicans flooding into their county. Only ten or so counter demonstrators showed up, unlike with those rowdy and counterproductive Skins vs. Anti-racists confrontations in D.C. in late 2001, and in 2002.
30 or so of the roped-off National Alliance members and supporters who protested illegal immigration in Siler City, NC, February, 2000. Seven new members joined the Alliance that day at that event -- a tangible gain.
