Okay, NOW I can talk about it

I was curious so looked up if he's actually Jewish.

He's not. His mother remarried when he was young, to a Jew, and he got stuck with the name. No idea if this step-father somehow contributed to later tendencies.

In the process of finding this information I ended up at a message board that doesn't necessarily condemn Silverstein's positions (that's a droll understatement by the way). They claim to be a non-violent Aryan organization. Their logo is a white pride flag with a peace symbol (the inside part anyway).

I now need to go scrub my brain.

Also, there is apparently a Jewish metalsmith named Tommy Silverstein. It is weird to do a search and get a mix of Aryan Nation sites and Jewish art sites.
