VIDEO ADDED: Neo-Nazis rally against illegal immigration in Phoenix

The good news? There were protesters protesting the Nazi protesters. The bad news? The Nazi protesters:

"I've never done anything like this before, but there's just so much racial tension in Phoenix lately," Wilcox said, as he held a sign that read "Nazis stay out of PHX" "I don't want it to seem like (they are) welcome here."

Members of the National Socialist Movement, a neo-Nazi group based out of Detroit, were met with a greater number of protesters. [...]

J.T Ready of Mesa also spoke at the America First Rally. He said the group was defending his country against invaders.

I consider Nazis the invaders... of democracy, of the general health and welfare of this country, of rationality and sanity... the list goes on.

Andy Hernandez of Phoenix said he was surprised at the different types of people who showed up to protest the neo-Nazis.

"There's all kinds of people, from different races and colors," Hernandez said. "We represent America. We didn't shut them down, but we gave them a counter protest. We just oppose what Nazi represents."

The Nazis want to shut down people of all races and colors, yet those very same people, the ones who the Nazis long to eradicate, somehow willingly uphold their enemies' liberties.

And the Tea Partiers/Bachmanns/Becks et al. equate the name Obama with the word Nazi... claiming that they represent "real" America.

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.

Hannity buddy Hal Turner arrested for threatening Connecticut officials

WWHS?* Get out the Maalox:

You all remember Sean Hannity's buddy Hal Turner, the neo-Nazi nutcase whose favorite activity is threatening various public officials, most notably federal judges -- though most recently he was also publicizing his empty threats to wreak havoc at President Obama's inauguration.

Well, it looks like the threats finally caught up with him:

Radio host Hal Turner — accused of hosting a website that incited Connecticut Catholics to "take up arms" and singling out two Connecticut lawmakers and a state ethics official — was taken into custody in New Jersey late today after state Capitol police obtained an arrest warrant for him.

Turner, who has been identified as a white supremacist and anti-Semite by several anti-racism groups, hosts an Internet radio program with an associated blog. Last week, the blog included a post that promised to release the home addresses of state Rep. Michael Lawlor, state Sen. Andrew McDonald and Thomas Jones of the ethics office.

"Mr. Turner's comments are above and beyond the threshold of free speech," Capitol police Chief Michael J. Fallon said in an e-mail announcing the warrant. "He is inciting others through his website to commit acts of violence and has created fear and alarm. He should be held accountable for his conduct."

[...]

Turner also recently suggested to readers of his blog that someone should shoot another abortion provider:

After the killing of abortionist George Tiller, another "doctor" has publicly announced he wishes to take Tiller's place to continue partial birth abortions!

Physician LeRoy Carhart of Omaha, NE wants to continue providing third-term abortions after the brazen slaying of his friend and colleague George Tiller.

Gee, this is becoming a "target-rich environment!"

I suspect someone has a bullet for this guy too. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Prison is too good for this guy.

*What Would Hannity Say?
