"It sends a message that Maine is inclusive..."

No.
It sends a message that Maine is well on its way to third-worldism.

This from the Boston Globe.  It's the only story I've seen so far about what the Nazis said:

The message of the World Church was confined to a small out-building at the armory, where about 45 supporters filled a room ringed by police. Church leader Matthew Hale was arrested in Chicago last week for allegedly soliciting the murder of a federal judge, but his chief deputy, Jon Fox, replaced him.

Fox and two other speakers used the meeting to vilify the 1,100 Somali refugees who have migrated to Lewiston, as well as Jews, top US leaders, and most established churches.

''Bringing these Somalians here is another Jewish plan to divide and conquer,'' said David Stearns of Portland, who wore a white beret as he delivered a nervous, rambling speech. ''We will propagate our religion in any way possible. There is no stopping us. Do not bother.''

The World Church of the Creator seeks a whites-only United States that would remove all minorities and Jews, and bar immigration.

It sends a message that on any given Saturday, you can get 4,000 college students from Bowdoin College, Bates, and Colby (as well as the lefties from Portland) to show up for a protest.

The real Mainers are icefishing for smelt on the Kennebec.

Of course, we all know the tolerant and inclusive Mainers will eventually change their mind at large-scale Somali immigration if the Somali 80%+ welfare rates bankrupt Lewiston and the city can't pay the salaries of its civil servants or fill the potholes in the streets.

Why in the world must our societies allow freeloaders into our midst? If inclusive diversity is what we want, why then don't we substitute Somali Muslim welfare basket cases with Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipino, Ghanian or Nigerian immigrants? At least these folk will WORK and give a positive benefit to any community they move into.

Oooohh! I'm a racist for even suggesting it ...

to show support for recent Somali immigrants,

I do believe that most of these recent immigrants have been living in Atlanta, Ga. for many years.

From the Portland Press Herald http://www.pressherald.com/news/state/030112lewiston.shtml :

Jamal pointed out that most Somali residents were also missing from the rally. "We have handfuls of immigrants who are very fearful," he said. "Nobody is supposed to be fearful here."

The other thing that's going to wig out the "tolerant community" is when they find one of those things huffing and puffing over one of their daughters!

I agree.  This guy is really scary looking, and he's probably going to die young of high blood pressure & a stroke:

LEWISTON

World Church of Creator delivers leader's speech

By Scott Taylor

Staff Writer

Racists huddle, call for white pride Jon Fox, a leader of the World Church of the Creator, speaks at a rally at the Maine Army National Guard Armory Saturday in Lewiston. The group was in town to call for the expulsion of Somalis in Maine. Robert F. Bukaty/Associated Press

Their message is simple, say members of the World Church of the Creator.

The White race is in danger of being destroyed, they say, by an all-encompassing international conspiracy that wants to rule the world.

It’s a message that gets ignored, they say, by the “Jewish-controlled mass media.” Or worse, it gets twisted, and they get labeled a hate group.

“We’re not into hate,” Illinois state leader Jon Fox said. “We’re into love, but we love our own kind.”

Fox was the featured speaker Saturday at a meeting of the World Church of the Creator. He filled in for jailed high priest Matt Hale, who was arrested Thursday on a charge of soliciting the murder of a federal judge in Chicago.

About 30 members of the group attended the Lewiston meeting, joined by six spectators, eight police officers and seven members of the media.

They met in a spare rectangular building, the windows of the classroom covered with cardboard and the chairs tied together in rows of five. The cardboard was meant to keep rocks and snowballs thrown by the angry crowd outside from breaking the windows. The chairs were tied together to keep them from being used as weapons in case things turned ugly inside.

They didn’t.

Fox and his supporters listened to two solid hours of speeches, interrupted occasionally by the beeping tones of a police radio and the faint shouts of the crowd outside. When it was done, they melted quietly out the back of the building to a waiting transport van, much to the frustration of the crowd outside. The six spectators stayed behind, preferring to wait for the crowd to leave.

Conspiracy theory

The speeches covered some 7,000 years of history, laying blame for the world’s ills at the feet of an international Jewish conspiracy.

“Not the deli owner down the street. That’s not the Jew we mean,” speaker Robert Freeman of Connecticut said. “Organized Jewry is doing this. Jews act as a team when they act.”

Freeman traced that conspiracy, through the founding of Christianity – a religion Freeman said was designed to enslave white minds – to modern immigration ills.

Immigrants come to America’s shores to weaken the country and turn the nation’s whites into mongrels. Once they’ve taken down America, they plan to take over the world, Freeman said.

“They can call us racist, they can call us neo-Nazis,” Freeman said. “But we’re not going to listen any more. We are not going to listen to what the Jews in the press and the Jews in the government want us to believe.”

David Stearns of Portland, the organizer of the Lewiston meeting, served Saturday as a member of the World Church of the Creator’s white beret security force. The conspiracy has become personal for Maine, Stearns said in a speech during the rally.

The international Jewish conspiracy hopes to dilute Maine’s white stock with Somalis, he said, adding that immigrants are taking away the unskilled jobs he did as a child.

“I used to rake blueberries for money, when I was a child,” Stearns said. “Now, you can’t get a job raking blueberries because they have all the Mexicans doing it.”

Diversity is a sham, he said. It’s a lie that Stearns promised would be proven false in the next 25 years.

“It’s coming, from within our generation,” Stearns said. “This is where the battle has begun, and it’s a battle for survival.”

All three speakers called for the freedom of their jailed high priest, Hale. It’s a typical conspiracy move to destroy their movement, Fox said.

“We are the ones the Jews used to get power, and now that they no longer have a need for us, they want to destroy us,” Fox said. “We’re the ones that can stop them.”

Slamming locals

Lewiston Mayor Larry Raymond was alternately praised and derided by the speakers. Freeman praised Raymond for not apologizing for an October letter to Somalis, in which Raymond asked them to slow their migration to Lewiston. But Fox complained that Raymond could have taken the issue further.

“It’s my opinion that he picked up a fat check from his Jew buddies and ran off down to Florida,” Fox said. “They probably got him a condo in Florida and told him that if he just kept his mouth shut, they’d make him a hero.”

The mayor was on vacation in Florida Saturday.

Speaker Freeman poked fun at local Jesus Party preacher Doug Taylor’s attempt to illustrate diversity with M&M candies.

“You can’t compare inanimate objects to people,” Freeman said. “It falls short.”

He also slammed Sun Journal Executive Editor Rex Rhoades’ use of the word “pasty-faced” to describe neo-Nazis and said he refused to be fooled by Editorial Page Editor Judy Meyer’s “anti-white slant.”

Maine Gov. John Baldacci, Lewiston city councilors, City Administrator Jim Bennett, police and the press – all are race traitors, Fox said.

Just like the rest of America, and most of Western Europe as well.

You KNOW I didn't mean him. THAT would be bad...but not half as bad as one of those Somali's. At least in the former coupling, the baby would have a chance at a decent life.

You know, sometimes it's better not to say anything at all.

Okay, so let me understand your statement:

You KNOW I didn't mean him. THAT would be bad...but not half as bad as one of those Somali's. At least in the former coupling, the baby would have a chance at a decent life.

So if a baby had Matt Hale as a father (something Hale would only be able to achieve if he had conjugal visits or smuggling his sperm out of jail) he or she would have a chance at a decent life, better than if a child who had a Somali as a parent? Are you including any interracial child in your assessment that that child would have a lesser chance to achieve a decent life?

I think it won't happen. The elitist multiculuralist crowd never live, work or send their kids to school anywhere near the diversity hell which they would gladly foist upon the backs of the working poor.

Sure:

Should miscegenation be a crime? Should segregation be reinstated?

"Matt Hale, leader of the World Church of the Creator, was supposed to direct Saturday's white supremacist gathering, but he spent the weekend in an Illinois jail on charges that he tried to arrange the murder of a federal judge.

Instead, a subdued audience of 32 people, excluding police and reporters, listened as three animated members offered an introduction to their views. While most arrived under police escort, seven showed up on their own.

A majority of the attendees were young men, some wearing black satin jackets, white berets with the group's logo, black pants and boots. Police officers lined the perimeter of the classroom, and the muffled voices of protesters could be heard in the room."


These people are so pathetic that it's funny.
