Online hate is as much a part of the Web as e-commerce, porn sites, and portals.
From neo-Nazis and skinheads to the Ku Klux Klan, almost every hate group in America has its own website. But some hate-watchers say that, contrary to conventional wisdom, these groups' aggressive Internet strategy has not paid off. It's resulted in greater public scrutiny with no measurable increase in influence. Groups are moving away from the idea of constructing these huge Web pages that have very little payback. The actual number of hate sites is in itself open to debate.
