Hundreds of demonstrators turned out in the tiny North Dakota town of Leith on Sunday to protest plans by an American Nazi group to move in and take over the local government.

The loud but peaceful demonstrators, many of them Native Americans from nearby reservations, were on hand for a visit from Jeff Schoep, commander of the National Socialist Movement, and several followers.

The National Socialist Movement is America's largest neo-Nazi organization, founded in 1974 by former members of the American Nazi Party, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The group hopes to move enough members into Leith - population 17 - to take over the local government.

They had to search a long way to find this story...

Hundreds of protesters in a town of 17

Why would this group announce their plan? Why wouldn’t they have just moved in quietly?

This all sounds like PR

[GeronL]

Or maybe they set this story up

[eyedigress]

Nazi socialists, go figure.

[SauronOfMordor]

The fact that the Nazis find it a challenge to take over a town of 17 tells you all you need to know about the size of this “group”.

I’m guessing the “nazi” group is some democrat kid in his mom’s basement having fun promoting yet another “racist hate event”.

Look, they have to live somewhere. Better there than next to me.

Schoep is an oldtime idiot, and tireless. As obnoxious as Holder’s People.

[Hardraade]

Lol. Schoep has been at it for a long time. I think he was the one used for a model in “Blues Brothers”.

17 people,10 of which are gov informers

The Man Who Was Thursday

[Mister Da]

The word Nazi is an abbreviation of the National Socialist Party. Nazis are socialists. Hitler was a socialist.

Taken to extremes, which perpetual lawmaking does, socialism becomes either Fascism or Communism, with the major difference being WHO owns the means of production, private entities or the gov’t. But, with either, the gov’t dictates every aspect of life & the economy. In practice there is little difference in the two, both are extreme tyranny.

[Mister Da]

You had better knock on wood or the devil himself will move in next door to you.

[Mister Da]

So much for property values which are now approaching zero.

I thought the American Nazis were too busy supporting the occutards to fool around with North Dakota.

I think they'll be gone soon. There is an expression in the extreme North:

“40 below zero keeps out the riff raff”

Here's hoping the Nazis leave and take their place with the occupiers who also hate the Jews. Here's the both groups having their 15 minutes run out soon.

[AppyPappy]

I forget. Are we supposed to be tolerant now?

Wow!

Leith ND is about 40 miles from where I live.

I’m not nearly as worried about the national socialists in Leith as I am the international socialists in Washington, DC.
