Germany’s far-right party is about to be stronger than ever

BERLIN — Americans can be forgiven for thinking Germany has already successfully thwarted Alternative for Germany (AfD), the Deutsch version of the right-wing populist movements pounding on the gates of Europe. When the overtly racist AfD’s numbers sank in the polls in March, observers across the West felt relieved to know that the European Union’s backbone and strongest advocate would not fall to the far right.

Germans, however, feel little such relief. In fact, many are worried sick about the virtual certainty of a far-right party’s entrance to Parliament. That’s because even a small AfD presence in the Bundestag could have the power to disrupt German politics and even derail its economy.

So, who is the white supremacist evil "nuveau nazi" German DJT? Has erkel volunteered to appear to help merkel out? And, as usual, the "right" is portrayed as evil nazi types (the originals were part of the national socialist democrat party) while the "left" is always the humane caring bunch. Weird huh?

“the overtly racist AfD’”
It’s not racist. It wants to keep the murdering, raping racists from entering Germany. Murkul is the racist.

[a fool in paradise]

What is the political party of the Sharia advocating Islamic imperialists?

[central_va]

Far right in Germany would be “run of the mill” socialist in the USA.

If you don’t like to be raped, robbed, tortured, and murdered you are a racist!

Bend over and take some more, Europe!

If you don’t like to be raped, robbed, tortured, and murdered you are a racist!

Maybe after what the Red Army did in the last days of WWII, the Germans found out they liked being raped.

"overtly racist"

Are they? I sincerely don't know, but I have learned to distrust ANY description of a conservative European party coming from the MSM.

"FAR RIGHT" = Germans who love their country and don't want it invaded by Muslim murderers and rapists

[Steve_Seattle]

"Americans can be forgiven for thinking Germany has already successfully thwarted Alternative for Germany (AfD) . . . "

Hey, WaPo, who says that all "Americans" should have the same view of the AFD, and that all "Americans" should be glad if it fails?

[Cowboy Bob]

Anything to the right of a Marxist is considered “right wing” (evil).

Does WacomPost mean like the Dems in Congress?......

[Signalman]

I wonder when the Washington Compost will ever use the term “far left” to identify a political party or individual. I’m not holding my breath.

“In fact, many are worried sick about the virtual certainty of a far-right party’s entrance to Parliament.”

Whereas, I and all sane people are quite happy about that.

“the right-wing populist movements pounding on the gates of Europe”

Hey Compost! It’s the Muslims who are pounding and entering the gates of Europe not the indigenous German population. You dyslexic idiots.

[jeffc]

The AfD is considered “far” right because they take pride in their German heritage, support traditional family values (anti-homo, but are OK with civil unions), and they’re skeptical of “climate change”. All this makes them “radical” (radical in the wrong way). Oh, and they consider themselves conservatives and they’re middle-class (the HORROR!!!).

[Reverend Wright]

So article author Bethany Allen-Ebrahimian is “concerned”...

Go AfD !

Of course not. Germanys version of our democrats label anyone who opposes the moslem invasion as racist, nazi, far right etc. Just like our dear democrats.

The WaPo and NYT will only use the term “left wing” if an airplane is involved...:^)

[samtheman]

If you don’t like to be raped, robbed, tortured, and murdered you are a racist!

observers across the West felt relieved

observers across the West? Who are they? WaPo "reporters"?
