Watchdog group: Dozens of active-duty troops found on neo-Nazi site



Gives me fracking chills.

WASHINGTON — It is the 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.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, the Montgomery, Ala.-based watchdog group that tracks extremist hate groups, has compiled a book containing the online user profiles of at least 40 newsaxon.org users who say they are serving in the military, in apparent violation of Pentagon regulations prohibiting racist extremism in the ranks.

On Friday, the SPLC will present its findings to key members of Congress who chair the House and Senate committees overseeing the armed forces and urge them to pressure the Pentagon to crack down.
I'd really like to hear some debate on this from the people who were frothing about the HHS report. Read the whole article.

I do not understand why it is that they only allow Fox TV and Radio (Limbaugh) to be broadcast to our military serving overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan, I would ask everyone to bring this up to the representatives in congress, it has worried me for some time!
