When FOX News host Glenn Beck said during an interview with Katie Couric this week, “John McCain would have been worse for the country than Barack Obama,” his comments made headlines. Beck explained that “McCain is this weird progressive like Theodore Roosevelt was.” Beck laid out this view in better detail on his television program earlier this month: I am becoming more and more libertarian every day, I guess the scales are falling off of my eyes, as I’m doing more and more research into history and learning real history. Back at the turn of the century in 1900, with...

The national team's manager was said by The Sun to...

Wow: I Never Thought Pat Buchanan Was This Stupid I've always had respect for Pat Buchanan on an intellectual level, even though I've long suspected his justifiable hatred for the Soviet Union clouded his ability to see World War II clearly. But this is too much: "Hitler had never wanted war with Poland, but an alliance with Poland such as he had with Francisco Franco's Spain, Mussolini's Italy, Miklos Horthy's Hungary and Father Jozef Tiso's Slovakia". Buchanan seems to know Hitler's mind better than Hiler. Hitler in Mein Kampf, Vol. 2, Ch. 14: "Therefore we National Socialists have purposely drawn...

WASHINGTON — It is Facebook for the fascist set, and the typical online profiles of its members reveal expected tastes. Favorite book: “Mein Kampf.” Favorite movie: the Nazi propaganda film “Triumph of the Will.” Interests: “white women.” Dislikes: “anyone who opposes the master race.” But there’s one other thing that dozens of members of newsaxon.org, a white supremacist social networking website, have in common: They proudly identify themselves as active-duty members of the U.S. armed forces.

Connecticut State Capitol Police say 47-year-old Harold "Hal" Turner was taken into custody Wednesday by police in North Bergen. He is scheduled to appear in court there today. Police said Turner incited his online readers "to take up arms" against Sen. Andrew McDonald and Rep. Michael Lawlor.

Slouching Toward Columbine: Darwin's Tree of Death April 20, 2009 David Klinghoffer I've long been fascinated by the image of the Tree of Death, parallel to the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden and cryptically referred to in mystical texts explaining the Hebrew Bible: And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the Tree of Life also in the midst of the garden, and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (Genesis 2:9).

The scenes, which are accompanied by militaristic music, have drawn millions of hits. YouTube, which hosts film clips from the public, has 2,880 items on the Waffen SS, the most fanatical of Hitler's soldiers who were indicted for war crimes throughout the Second World War. The entries have a string of 'Sieg Heil' comments and praise for the fighting prowess of the Waffen SS, recruited for their dedication to Nazism. The videos, some from Nazi propaganda news reels, have provoked the anger of Jewish organisations which called for YouTube to remove the "hugely offensive" postings, including one that features the...

When President Bush, before the Knesset, used the word "appeasement" to label those who would negotiate with Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, he invoked the most powerful analogy in any debate over war and peace. No man wishes to be regarded as an "appeaser." But, as this writer has discovered since my book "Churchill, Hitler and The Unnecessary War: How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World" was launched Memorial Day, there is a deep well of ignorance about what happened that September, 70 years ago. Why did Neville Chamberlain go to Munich? How did Munich lead to World...

[...] EXCESSIVE AND UNFOUNDED ACTIONS AGAINST EXTREMISM Abusive anti-extremist enforcement continued to target political opposition at an ever-growing rate. It should also be noted that in contrast to previous years, law enforcement and other authorities did not bother to take cases to court or to punish specific offenders, but instead used the pretext of fighting extremism to prevent certain public events. In particular, they often confiscate campaign materials, ostensibly to check them for extremism, and then return them after the event, when the owners no longer need the materials. Probably the most cynical incident was the confiscation of a few...

Lizas Welt examines a German rap scene that increasingly spews Jew-hatred, extols terrorist attacks, and idolizes Osama bin Laden. by Lizas Welt (translated from the German by John Rosenthal) When an unknown assailant fired four bullets at German rap star Massiv in Berlin in mid-January — one of them grazing the rapper’s right arm — the initial outrage soon gave way to questions. Was the episode really an attempted murder, perhaps the opening salvo in an emerging turf war among rival rappers, or had Massiv staged the attack himself as a publicity stunt? Threats of violence are, in any case,...

(IsraelNN.com) The Czech Federation of Jewish Communities has filed a legal complaint against a march of neo-Nazis on the Sabbath in the city of Plzen. The complaint includes charges that marchers demonstrated Nazi salutes outside a synagogue and chanted anti-Semitic slogans, such as "Jews to gas." Police did not intervene despite being told of the incidents, and city officials said they permitted the march because there had not been any history of such behavior.

First of all, I am a German conservative who gives the CDU [Christian Democratic Union] his vote. I like my chancellor Angela Merkel, and I like my country. I DO like EUROPEAN diversity. This excludes Muslims! I consider myself a right-winger and I am pro-Israel. But I also do admit, that the Nazis were, after all, right-wing. Fact is: The Nazis were ULTRA-right-wing extremistic, white supremacistic facists! Yes, their political party was called the "National Socialist German Workers Party", but it was neither a socialist nor a workers party! This name was purely propaganda to gain the people's votes to...

American Thinker has extensively covered the troubling links between Ron Paul's campaign and neo-Nazis. For our trouble we were blasted by some critics, and subjected to a torrent of abusive letters from Ron Paul supporters. But now, an apparently genuine Neo-Nazi, Bill White, Commander of the American National Socialist Workers Party is fed up with the campaign's mild distancing and disavowal, and claims on a neo-Nazi website, the Vanguard News Network, that he has attended meetings with Paul at both a Thai restaurant in Arlington, and in his official office. Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs has picked-up the story...

It seems that the “Only man who can save America”, Ron Paul is considered just “one of the guys” when it comes to White Supremacist and Neo-Nazi groups that are throwing their money at him as is being reported by Little Green Footballs. Apparently, Dr. Ron Paul is not all to picky about where his campaign dollars come from. The Ron Paul mentality seems to be “whatever keeps the blimp afloat”. He is very aware of the douchebags that are donating money to him and has no plans to return any of the money. In the meantime, a video of...

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul's supporters raised over $6 million Sunday to boost the 10-term Texas congressman's campaign for the White House. Called a "Money Bomb," the goal was to raise as much money as possible on the Internet in one day. The campaign's previous fundraiser brought in $4.2 million. At midnight EST, donations were over $6 million, according to the campaign Web site. Those donations are processed credit card receipts, said Paul campaign spokesman Jesse Benton.

On Nov. 5, supporters of Ron Paul raked in more than $4.2 million in donations in 24 hours, mostly of them collected over the Internet. Today, they're at it again. Hoping to detonate what they call a "money bomb," the supporters started fundraising at midnight Saturday and have already raised $2 million as of about 10:30 a.m. today, more than at this point on Nov. 5, according to figures they posted online. They hope to collect a total of $10 million by midnight Sunday. Last time, they tied their fundraising to Guy Fawkes Day, which commemorates a British mercenary who...

Once again honoring the revolutions of history, Texas Congressman Ron Paul will commemorate the Boston Tea Party Sunday, with his campaign attempting to set another one day fund raising record and beat out the $4.4 million he collected from supporters last month on November 5th, Guy Fawkes Day. The campaign's new blimp also took to the air Friday, leaving North Carolina on its maiden voyage up the east coast. The blimp was originally scheduled to drop tea into Boston the harbor on Sunday, but a launch delay forced organizers to reschedule the flight plan for a New Hampshire primary...

Noting that some abnormalities are not discovered until after birth, he suggested that a baby should not be considered legally alive immediately on being born. "If a child were not declared alive until three days after birth, then all parents could be allowed the choice that only a few are given under the present system," he said. "The doctor could allow the child to die if the parents so chose and save a lot of misery and suffering."

September 10, 2007 Swastikas, neo-Nazi gangs and attacks on Jews. Where? In Israel James Hider in Jerusalem Israeli police have broken up a neo-Nazi cell that had been carrying out attacks on religious Jews, homosexuals, drug addicts and workers, in a case that has shocked the Jewish state. The youths, who had Nazi tattoos and allegedly celebrated Adolf Hitler’s birthday, belonged to Soviet Jewish families who had migrated to Israel under its law of return, which allows people with at least one Jewish grandparent to become Israeli citizens. Under strict religious rules, however, many of the former Soviet immigrants are...

Six of the pursued made it into Singh's pizzeria and locked themselves in. The rioters kicked in the...

Does 'the decider' decide on war? Posted: May 30, 2007 1:00 a.m. Eastern Has Congress given George Bush a green light to attack Iran? For he is surely behaving as though it is his call alone. And evidence is mounting that we are on a collision course for war. * Iran has detained several Iranian-Americans, seemingly in retaliation for our continuing to hold five Iranians in Iraq. * The U.N. nuclear watchdog agency, the International Atomic Energy Agency, says Iran is making progress in the enrichment of uranium and denying it access to Iran's nuclear sites. * Bush is calling...

LAS VEGAS // President Bush recently echoed Vice President Dick Cheney's support for Croatia to join the European Union, a bid that has been stalled because of the former Yugoslav republic's slowness to own up to and prosecute its 1990s war crimes and its failure to ensure protections and rights for minorities, including returning Serb refugees. Croatia also faces the possibility of being excluded from the 2008 European soccer championship because when an Italian team's fans taunted the Croatian team's fans at a match in August by waving Yugoslavia's old communist flag, the other side took great offense and showed...

PRINCETON, December 2, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Infamous advocate of infanticide and the man often credited as the founder of the modern radical animal rights movement, Dr. Peter Singer, was featured in the National Post this week predicting that the traditional ethics of western civilization would shortly be abolished.

Neo-Nazis parade freely through Berlin and a far-right party may gain seats in another regional parliament. As dissatisfaction with the government grows, so do other unsavory elements. Fringe Nazi ideals are inching toward the mainstream in Germany. On August 19, the German government permitted neo-Nazi rallies in Berlin and across the nation to publicly celebrate the 19th anniversary of the death of Nazi war criminal Rudolph Hess. Hess was a close friend and deputy of Hitler and was a figurehead in the Nazi party. Authorities not only tolerated the parades, but they provided police escorts to assist the neo-Nazis in...

Just when the hot August stench (of roadside stained sofas and the contents of fruit-fly infested college apartment sinks) has gone with the passing of Madison's move-out week, the funk is about to get worse: More than 100 Nazis are coming to spew their filth on the Capitol steps on Saturday. Predictably, the perennial debate "ignore them" versus "confront them" has emerged among activists and community organizers. Arguments in favor of ignoring them range from the strategic ("They thrive on attention; just ignore them and they'll go away") to the legal ("They have the same First Amendment rights as anyone...

A town in northern Germany has launched a fund-raising campaign to buy a hotel amid fears it could otherwise fall into the hands of a neo-Nazi group.

Keith Olbermann Countdown with Keith Olbermann MSNBC July 28, 2006 Dear Mr. Olbermann, We are deeply dismayed by your ongoing use of the Nazi "Sieg Heil" salute, both on your program and in public appearances -- including the recent Television Critics Association press tour -- while holding up a mask of Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly. While we understand that your aim is to entertain your audience by taking pot shots at Mr. O'Reilly, your repeated use of the Nazi salute has resulted in many complaints from our constituents, including Holocaust survivors and their families who find the use of...

MEL Gibson once had close links to the Australian League of Rights, a Far Right group notorious for its anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and Holocaust denial. The league claims the world is run by a secret society of Jews.

BERLIN (EJP)---Police in Germany have raided shops and apartments in a nationwide crack-down on the distribution of neo-Nazi CDs. Just days after the World Cup final, police in Saxony made the biggest swoop, raiding 13 properties and making four arrests.

Public prosecutors in Saxon capital Dresden have confirmed that four men between 31 and 34 years of...

While much of the world struggles to come to terms with Iran's plans for developing nuclear technology, its enigmatic President spent yesterday playing to his new fans at two of Indonesia's most prestigious academic institutions. Ahmadinejad is having a hard time finding friends on the international stage after refusing to back down on his declaration that Iran has a right to enrich uranium. He...

Extremists Declare 'Open Season' on Immigrants: Hispanics Target of Incitement and Violence Overview As the public debate over immigration reform has taken center-stage in American politics and public life, white supremacists, neo-Nazis and other racists have declared "open season" on immigrants and attempted to co-opt and exploit the controversy by focusing their efforts -- and their anger -- on the minority group at the center of the controversy: Hispanics.   As a result, to a level unprecedented in recent years, America's Latino immigrant population has become the primary focus of hateful and racist rhetoric and extreme violence -- aided, abetted...
