WASHINGTON -- Hundreds of neo-Nazis and white separatists marched Saturday on the U.S. Capitol to protest American support of Israel, chanting, "What do we want? Jews out! When do we want it? Now!" and trading hostile words with an equal number of counterdemonstrators.

A variety of white supremacist groups -- including skinheads from Pennsylvania and separatists from West Virginia -- carried giant Nazi flags and frequently pumped their arms in the air yelling, "Sieg Heil," as they marched in hazy, humid weather. They complained about non-European immigration to the United States, shredded an Israeli flag and chanted slogans in support of Palestinian independence.

The counterdemonstrators included students who said they had come to preach peace; militants chanting, "Death, death, death to the Nazis!"; and anarchists dressed in black. They were joined by a variety of others, including Palestinians who said they had come to reject the white separatists' support for Palestinian independence. Also, about 40 neo-Nazis marched in Topeka, Kan.

National Socialists, World Socialists, Islamo-Socialists. Its fun to watch them fight!

We capitalists will sell them t-shirts and sodas when they take breaks!

It's refreshing to note that members of the Democratic Underground (DUers) stand in solidarity with these Nazi's.

The Palestinians may reject the support from the white separatists but check out this response from Ask the Imam:

many muslims priase Hitler for killing jews, shoud they or are they wrong.

Islam has ordered us Muslims to fight against the enemies of Islam and not be like the Jew and make other nations fight their wars. We as Muslims may share in Hitlers hatered for the Jews but we cannot praise him for the manner in which he went about killing the jews (if the history books are correct). But rather we as Muslims are governed by the Shariah which prohibit the killing the old and the weak etc.

They're all a bunch of fascists as far as I'm concerned. The world would be a far better place if we got rid of them.

[THX 1138]

Proving that there ain't a dime's worth of difference between a nazi and a commie.

It's refreshing to note that members of the Democratic Underground (DUers) stand in solidarity with these Nazis.

Yep, Jew-hatred creates the strangest bedfellows sometimes. But then again, the former are socialists and the latter are national socialists, so they have more in common than one might think.

Never forget that Nazi is national SOCIALISM. The Left has tried for 70 years to paint the nazis as right-wing when, in reality, they are just a sicker form of left-wing bozo

Were the McKinneys there?

What I found baffling about this protest was that it got coverage (albeit in a news brief today although I did find a longer article prior to the protest on FR) even though the turnout was miniscule.

Meanwhile, when veterans come to DC (Rolling Thunder) or conservatives go to Washington the coverage is nil. The Comical was quick to point out the counter protesters but locally when there is a liberal protest (gun control for example) there is scant if any mention of the counter protest (especially when they are "out gunned" so to speak).

There was some very ugly talk at the DC/SF anti(American)war / pro-Palestinian protests this year. None of that made the wire services. Neither did the counter protests.

The pinheads are upset because they have not been chosen to be Saudi harem boys, and are ever trying to ingratiate themselves with the impotentates.

They complained about non-European immigration to the United States, shredded an Israeli flag and chanted slogans in support of Palestinian independence.

Have to wonder if illegal Palestinian and Saudi immigration were among their grievences. In this day and age, I don't know why European immigrants should be considered any better. Have these fools looked at European governments lately?

[Johnny Shear]

I can only assume that there were plenty of McKinney supporters/DUhhh posters in attendence?

[Catspaw]

I saw a clip of the neo-Nazis marching yesterday. It looked like a family reunion at a gay biker bar.

[CARepubGal]

I say, let the two sides at each other and arrest the ones that walk away. Both are groups of oxygen thieves. I do hate commies and nazis equally though.

Here was the only other thread that I saw on this protest (prior to the event). Note the use of a cover name for the event:

'Neo-Nazi' Group Plans Anti-Israel Rally and Concert in DC

Capitol Hill (CNSNews.com) - A coalition calling itself Taxpayers Against Terrorism plans to gather at the U.S. Capitol Saturday to "rally against terrorism" and "the U.S. government's support for Israel," but religious and civil rights groups say the rally's real purpose is to incite hatred, bigotry, and violence.

Ramsey Clark's handiwork, no doubt, aided by some of his paid professional provocateurs...You've got to wonder who ultimately funds this nonsense. Russia? China? Both?

Ya never know..

It looks like they had a welcoming party:

 

Supremacists attacked at city hotel
3 suffer minor injuries in melee; 20-30 arrested

About 200 white supremacists on their way to a Washington rally were attacked with gas grenades, tire irons, baseball bats and hockey sticks at a Southeast Baltimore hotel yesterday, police said.

Twenty to 30 people were arrested on assault and weapons charges in the melee, which erupted about 7:30 a.m. in the parking lot, lobby and hotel rooms of the Best Western Hotel and Conference Center in the 5600 block of O'Donnell St., police said. Officials said about 30 to 40 people participated in the attack.

Three of the supremacists suffered minor injuries, and one of those was treated at an area hospital, police said.

Fifty to 60 police officers responding to the scene brought the fight under control within half an hour, Maj. Fred Bealefeld III said.

It was not immediately known whether the attackers were counter-demonstrators or members of a rival supremacist group, police said. Police identified the victims as white supremacists and skinheads based on their clothing and tattoos, which featured Nazi symbols.

Some members of the group said they belong to the National Alliance, an organization whose Web site promotes the creation of "an Aryan society." They said they were traveling to a Washington rally to protest government tax policies.

Some of the white supremacists had spent the night in the hotel and others arrived in the morning to join them on the trip to Washington, police said. A large number were from Pennsylvania, Bealefeld said.

The attackers used some sort of gas grenade -- either pepper spray or camouflaging smoke, said Officer Troy J. Harris, a police spokesman.

Most of the fighting occurred in the parking lot of the hotel, located in a travel plaza east of Interstates 95 and 895.

Assaults also occurred in the lobby and rooms on the eighth floor of the hotel, where many of the victims had rented three rooms, police said. Some damage to the rooms resulted, police said. Hotel officials declined to comment.
