Ron Stallworth: “I, a black man, secretly infiltrated the KKK.”
James Hart Stern: “Hold my beer.”
Ron Stallworth: “Wow.”
James Hart Stern: “Ha! That was fun. Here, hold my beer again.”
Ron Stallworth: “What the hell, dude! Now you’re just showing off!”

Ok, I guess it’s referring to the ‘regional’ Klan he shut down after meeting Killen. So it’s not really 2 Nazi groups, but a Klan and a Nazi group.
Now he just has to shut down a Tea Party and a Trump Rally and he’s the activist equivalent of an EGOT

Say what you might but there is a genius element in the mind of a master criminal. That element simply shifted from one challenge to another and in this case proved to be more successful than postal fraud. You sir are gift to humanity!

“Sometimes bad guys make the best good guys.”
An honest person could never have pulled this off. This is what it looks like when a grifter uses their powers for good.

Am I the only one upset about the fact that the Washington Post headline uses quotation marks on outsmarted? It is as if they are only repeating words from the source but not actually wishing to be associated with the afirmation : Well, he says he outsmarted them, but those are his words and we just don’t know about that…

On one hand, gaining someone’s trust with the intent of abusing that trust is morally suspect.
On the other hand, Nazis are completely fucking evil.
So yeah, fight fire with firecrackers.
I liked that because I thought the implication was “they weren’t really that smart to begin with”, outsmarting an idiot isn’t exactly beating Kasparov at chess.

I always mistake Henry Gibson dressed as a nazi for Jeff Sessions.
Bravo!

Strongly agree. I am wondering if to WAPO’s minds it’s because he used that term himself (as quoted in the article).
“I did the hard and dangerous part,” Stern told The Washington Post. “As a black man, I took over a neo-Nazi group and outsmarted them.”
So I think in following their journalism code to not have a subject of the article seeming to write WAPO’s objective headline, they are putting his own word in quotes. But that decision as it plays out feels very icky.

While this is, naturally, a feel-good story about racist wastes-of-humanity being scammed, it does really make me afraid of people who are convicted of mail fraud. It’s very, VERY easy to “ha ha” when you read “somehow convinced them to grant him power of attourney”, but can you imagine how convincing and cold-blooded he must have been to successfully pull this off not once, but TWICE, to groups that should be known for being on the lookout for people trying to out them or catch them up.

right, it’s basically outsmarting a non-female Simpson.
