Blanchard residents are angry about little orange packages of hate mail dumped in their front yards.

Mark Sprengle said he found a copy of the racist newspaper the New Order and inserts blasting multiculturalism, touting Adolf Hitler and defaming blacks.

They were wrapped in orange delivery sleeves on the driveway of his and his neighbors’ property in the community north of Coeur d’Alene.

The inserts also included applications to join the Hayden Lakebased Church of Jesus ChristChristians Aryan Nations.

New Order editor Gary Lauck of Lincoln, Neb., was arrested in Denmark on Thursday. He is considered a supplier of neo-Nazi literature in Germany.

Sprengle said he also saw the bags scattered around Blanchard’s downtown area.

“I picked up my neighbor’s because he was gone and I told him about it,” he said. “I didn’t want a kid to come by and find it.”

Donna Brown found copies at her place of work.

“I’m not scared,” Brown said. “I’m angry at the racial connotations and grossly offended with their use of the name of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is not a racist.”

Buzz Arndt of the Bonner County Human Rights Task Force said it was the first such distribution since Sandpoint was hit in November. He said the Blanchard incident was similar to that earlier effort.

Aryan Nations leader Richard Butler said deliveries are not planned. Rather, he said, church members are free to distribute the information.

“They don’t always tell us where they are going to distribute the material,” Butler said.

An Aryan Nations spokesman who identified himself only as “staff leader” said the group has about 150 to 170 members in the area, and that if they distribute literature they are asked to do it in a legal manner.
