SPOKANE, Wash. -- Richard G. Butler, the notorious white supremacist who founded the Aryan Nations and was once dubbed the "elder statesman of American hate," has died at the age of 86, authorities said Wednesday.
Butler died peacefully in his sleep at his home in Hayden, Idaho. It was not known when he died; his body was found in his bed Wednesday morning.
The Aryan Nations lost its church and 20-acre compound in northern Idaho in 2000 after a $6.3 million civil judgment led to a bankruptcy filing. Butler moved into a house bought by a supporter in Hayden and made few public appearances in recent years because of failing health.
But in July, he rode in the back of a pickup truck that was dragging the flag of Israel during a parade by about 40 of his followers through downtown Coeur d'Alene, 30 miles east of Spokane.
Butler, a longtime admirer of Adolf Hitler and white supremacist religious teaching, had moved to Idaho in the early 1970s, claiming later that he was impressed by its high percentage of white residents. To the dismay of many locals, the region became known as a place hospitable to white supremacist groups.
Butler's church held that whites are the true children of God, that Jews are the offspring of Satan and that blacks and other minorities are inferior.
The compound drew skinheads, ex-convicts and others. A "whites only" sign was placed at the gate, and Nazi symbols decorated the grounds.
During the years, Butler's disciples included some of the most notorious figures in the white supremacist movement, but authorities were largely unable to tie Butler to crimes by his supporters.
In a 1999 report, the FBI said the goal of Aryan Nations was to forcibly take five states -- Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Washington and Montana -- and form an Aryan homeland.

Al even gestoord gelijk hitler. Nu ja diep in de grond was hij misschien een goed man, zolang dat het maar diep genoeg is. Ze zouden hem beter begraven op een joods kerkhof. Dat zou hij zeker gewild hebben
. Maar uit respect voor de joodse families lijkt dit geen goed idee, dus dumpen ze hem beter in het plaatselijke containerpark. Bij het klein gevaarlijk afval natuurlijk
.
