While it’s sad that she accepted the deal, it never quite seemed like her elevator went all the way to the top. That being said, mental status shouldn’t have bearing on Constitutional rights. Wonder why she took the deal? Aside from coercion and intimidation, that is.

Mr. Miller,

Your persistence in tying me to so-called white supremacy when I’ve not been connected to such for years is baffling. It’s as bad as the Southern Poverty Law Center continuing to imply I am the author “Angry White Female” when they’ve known all along she’s Kelly Cowan, a woman out in California who also has long ago abandoned the white nationalist “cause.” However, they’re only interested in bringing in the bucks whereas you seem to have a genuine interest in freedom.

You present yourself as factual, as someone who investigates and researches, yet you appear to have chosen the sensationalism of “Even Neo-Nazis Deserve Free Speech” over the fundamentals of constitutional rights.

I have to admit when I read commentary like yours, it certainly doesn’t inspire me to regret my decision to plead out.

One last thing, the pictures you’ve used of me are out of sequence. I think you should remove the one of me in the blue shirt; it doesn’t really go along with the agenda you seem to be pushing.

Elisha,

In January 2008, you were quoted in a local newspaper as still believing in separation of the races.

“I still consider myself a white nationalist, but I don’t consider myself part of that organization anymore,” she says. “I don’t want to be associated with a group that thinks a pedophile is okay.”

She also says she would never call herself a racist.

“I want separation of the races,” she explains. “I want a white nation.”

All I’ve done is used information that was publicly available on the internet. No different than what you were doing on your blog.

simple fix. Have someone else take over the blog (under the covert direction of elisha). Posting from another country.

And as of the date you published your above commentary (October 20, 2009) , I’d already been quoted in that same local paper (September 17, 2009) as saying “‘I thought I wanted to live in a white society,’ she sighs. ‘Now I want to live in a nice society.’”

Plus there’s an even earlier Roanoke Times article (August 19, 2009) that states “Strom is known in the Charlottesville community for her past ties to the white separatist movement. She said she is no longer involved and hasn’t been for several years.”

It’s as if you’ve deliberately avoided using current “publicly available on the internet” information. That’s _very much_ different than what I was doing on my blog.

Well January 2008 is hardly “several years.”

But if you’re saying you’ve renounced your white supremacist views, I’ll be happy to update the story.

But now that I have you speaking on the record, whatever happened with the ACLU?

Did they advise you to take the plea deal?

Depends on how one looks at it, I suppose. To me, it’s been several years because I’m familiar with the details and process I went through. In short, I began severing ties in early 2004. Over the following few years, you could count on one hand the number of white separatists I associated with. By 2008 I had approximately two what could be called “leftover friends” – people I describe liking “in spite of their beliefs.” By my choice, now they’re long gone also; probably around the time the news piece you quoted was written. But surely that’s all very hum-drum to you.

Carlos Miller wrote: “But if you’re saying you’ve renounced your white supremacist views, I’ll be happy to update the story.”

Meh. The problem with someone like me renouncing is that then one becomes used as, like, the spokesbunny for the anti-racist side. That’s another vicious extremist group I don’t belong in. If you are willing to update the story, I’d settle for a Roanoke-Times-like compromise: an acknowledgment that, while that was a part of me, it’s in the past.

I’m on the record?! Aww… had I known that, I would’ve dusted off my keyboard and polished up my nails before typing.

My attorney and the ACLU kept in contact. The ACLU, I believe, said nothing either way with regards to a plea. At around the last hearing date it seriously looked like I would be taking them up on their offer to represent me. But that’s a lengthy story best saved for my site.

How the hell can she get in trouble for publishing phone numbers and personal information of cops that’s public record? I could understand if the information wasn’t listed, but if its in the public domain, how the hell can she get in trouble?

contrary to previous comments i dont see anything irrational in the posts here by her. why wouldnt she expose an adulterous lying pos?

“However, she has no one to blame but herself because she accepted the plea deal…”

Wow Carlos. You fought measly misdemeanor charges, and proved the court will allow a bogus conviction in retaliation for THE CONTENT OF YOUR BLOG.

She was facing felony charges. I expected you to be a little more sympathetic. She has no one to blame but herself?

You’re coming across as a bit of an asshole lately. Are you missing fiber in your diet or something?

If all it takes are “charges” for people to give up their rights, then we really don’t have any rights. Do we?

“If all it takes are “charges” for people to give up their rights, then we really don’t have any rights. Do we?”

If you only knew.

Actually I do know. Are you trying to make a point?

“How the hell can she get in trouble for publishing phone numbers and personal information of cops that’s public record?”

I don’t believe the information was public record. I think that was kind of the point.

The information WAS/IS public record. That’s why the ACLU was on board.

The didn’t order everyone else on the internet to not publish the info, did they?

=ahem=

To be honest Elisha and this whole JADE thing reeks of mental instability. The woman has problems. For christ sake don’t encourage her. I think it’s creepy enough the amount of time she spends, and insane gibberish she posts on her blog. Half of it makes no literate sense. I don’t think it’s a question of free speech and rights, she’s acting like a grade A weirdo. If she wrote a blog about me in that way, following me around and posting my pictures, you can be damn sure I’d try to stop it.

I’m serious, she’s not all there.

Helluva guy there Jess. Kudos to you.

Apparently she’s been arrested yet again, this time for violating her court order:
