"David and his people found a much better way to defeat the enemy. They rewrote history and vaulted their members into positions of power across the globe. They were ingenious, and in so being were able to become arguably the most powerful people - and most persecuted - on the planet. And that is how it must be with us. We must use their method, only the history we are leaving behind, in books and on the Internet, is honest and real."

As for the other two articles, the problem is not so easily tracked down to individual phrases, but is in the general rhetoric, that 'we' are being betrayed by a government eager to allow dangerous outsiders to destroy 'our' way of life:


>From http://www.prisonplanet.com/analysis_hall_030503_immigration.html :

"Population trends and unimpeded incursions into our land have doomed our way of life. Is there any serious person left that cannot see the marking of internal disembowelment of the national fabric? Can anyone speak with authority that this eventuality can be stopped? It is wholly unreasonable to fight a battle to save the American establishment system, when it was that very hierarchy that voluntarily and willingly, set in place and continually allows this immigration invasion. Closing the borders has been the correct response for years. Why will this clearly beneficial action never be allowed to happen?"


>From http://www.prisonplanet.com/analysis_newsom_052003_borders.html :

"Instead of attacking the problems at the source, the borders, they have decided to concede defeat and simply let the people deal with whatever happens to be thrown at them. Whether it is a suitcase nuke or biological weapon. Sure, they’ll provide some training for city workers to manage an attack, but they refuse to throw money and manpower at the root of the problem."

That's not explicit racist abuse, but its an implicitly racist argument.
