SANTA ROSA (KRON) -- A notorious hate group passing out fliers in Santa Rosa has some residents there very upset. FBI agents have testified in court in the past that the National Alliance is a domestic terrorist group, but local police say espousing ideas alone, is not a crime.
No one knows who distributed the fliers and the National Alliance did not return our calls.
One Santa Rosa neighborhood and others started getting fliers allegedly from the National Alliance this week. The eight fliers were all different. One charges that non-whites are turning America into a third-world slum: "they are messy, disruptive noisy and multiply rapidly," it says.
For police it is a freedom of speech issue.
Lieutenant Tom Schwedhelm of the Santa Rosa police says, "The actual fact of distributing the fliers appears to be legal. People have a right to have opinions even if they are offensive to many people. It appears the fliers were one group expressing their opinions."
The Southern Poverty Law Center tracks hate groups. It says there are 48 in California, second only to Texas, and the National Alliance is now the most infamous hate group in America.

How come the media never does a story when I'm "upset" about the burrheads and the salsa booming?
"White residents of New Mexico today announced that they were very upset by the booming crappy lowriders always coming down the street. Police say the booming is legal, however."
