LEITH, N.D. (AP) — Leaders in a small southwestern North Dakota town have approved a moratorium on any new construction — a move a white supremacist who is trying to take over says unfairly targets him and his aspirations.

Craig Cobb has bought a home and 12 other lots in Leith and is encouraging others with white power views to move there and help him take control of the community that had 23 residents before he arrived. He is living with three other male white supremacists and two children in a house with no water or sewer service and only space heaters for heat.

City officials on Sunday night put the building moratorium in place while they work on an ordinance that will require Cobb to install water and sewer service, The Bismarck Tribune reported (http://bit.ly/HlSBpI ). Another ordinance would prevent tents and campers from being set up on a city lot for more than 10 consecutive days.

Cobb, who has encouraged others to move tents and trailers onto his vacant lots, calls the proposals "patently unfair" and says residents of the town are "evil and nasty."

2. White supremacists calling others "evil and nasty" is kind of ironic.

5. OMG you're a bigot because you don't like bigotry!!11

What is it with these people? Good for the town for moving so quickly. Sounds like it would be an eyesore and a health hazard too, besides an enclave for hate. Poor kids though.

3. Imagine what the actual Nazis would have done if

some dissenting group tried to take over a German town in the 30s the way they are.

They'd have been rounded up and shot if their heroes were in charge.

All of these white power people would NOT have survived Nazi Germany methinks.

7. they can always pass the hat and buy an island somewherez

8. Odd, the Nazis want a city of their own to keep out people they don't want to live near ...

.... and then claim it's unfair when others try to do it to them ....

Isn't there some empty land out in the desert they can set up camp at?

9. Those empty desert patches would not grant them political power.

They're targeting this town because they could take over political power by becoming the majority of the residents.

If they moved to some of the vast empty space in San Bernardino County, CA, they would not be able to get political power - they would not be the majority of the residents.
