By Matt Hanson / World-Herald staff writer 6 hrs ago
Residents aren't happy about the booklets and signs that they're finding in their neighborhoods.
Neo-Nazi booklets have been found in Little Free Libraries in some Omaha neighborhoods. And, signs encouraging citizens to report undocumented immigrants have been put up on poles in other neighborhoods.
Officials with the Plains States Region of the Anti-Defamation League-Community Relations Council said they are aware of the propaganda found in Little Free Libraries in Trendwood, Leawood and Deer Ridge. They said they are working with law enforcement to combat the rise in hate speech.
"These attitudes have no place in our society," said Mary-Beth Muskin, the group's regional director.

unfortunately, i'm afraid i'll have to disagree, as these attitudes clearly occupy multiple places in our society, including -- for now -- the White House.
after a while, it just sounds like denial.
