Like his mentor, Slater has mastered the art of attracting publicity by staging events that draw the wrath of protesters. In Denver last January, he orchestrated a Klan rally on Martin Luther King Day that turned violent when anti-Klan protesters threw bottles, overturned a police car and battled police. The incident allowed Slater to score a publicity coup on CBS'S 48 Hours...
