This last weekend, Nazis marched in Newnan, Georgia.

Nazis.

Proud. Unashamed. Out in the open. Unafraid to show their faces.

When Nazis aren't afraid to walk down the streets of America, and black Americans are, well you'd better wake up and hear the fucking alarm.

This is just stunning.

[Sinistrous]

1. I weep...

[TheSmarterDog]

2. This is what we should be fighting against.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

36. Lets saddle up!

They've got to be staying in local hotels etc. Not too hard to push a few buttons and get in a brawl and knock some GD teeth out, old school.
Funny how the Harley Riders For trump...must think this is great. The same guys who drape their bikes and vests in the flag and wax and wane about Patriotism and Vietnam and the horrors of war. Buncha posers.
P.S. When are we going to boycott the (Germany) History Channel? All they show is Hitler expose's in every form and fashion. Hitlers Doctors, Hitlers Bunker, Hitlers Escape to Antartica. I grow real tired of the Nazi love on that GD channel as well. How's about some American History?

3. In the Cemetery in Arnhem

were my Father is buried, there are also graves of Allied Soldiers, mostly British and American who died fighting Nazism. The War Graves are along the main routes, so you can't miss them. You see their ages. All so young. In the case of the Dutch Soldiers, you see some died on the first or second day of the invasion.

All over Europe there are acres of graves of Americans who died, liberating Europe.

When I see these people marching (yes, even though they have the right to), I ask if all these Soldiers died for nothing.

The German people too paid a terrible price for the aberration that Hitler brought. We should leave it at that.

28. Excellent post!

[Runningdawg]

4. I keep wondering

where all the people are who said "If I had lived in Nazi Germany....."

[Arkansas Granny]

5. Something I saw online a few months ago:

"If you wondered what you would have done during 1930's Germany, you're doing it now."

[rurallib]

6. o so true - will be stealing this

[Runningdawg]

7. Exactly!

25. Ive felt that for decades

That’s one explanation of why I’m such a loudmouthed cantankerous person in any situation in my life. Before I retired I had quite the reputation for speaking out against any form of oppression and disrespect to the employees by management. Especially in all staff meetings, right out in the open for all to hear.

I’m sure you probably relate to this but getting older is very empowering when you use it to advantage. And, boy, do I!

I read as many books as I could get my hands on about the Holocaust when I was in my teens and twenties, and it was not hard to look at my fellow Americans and come to the conclusion that it could definitely happen here. The most obvious evidence of this possibility is right in front of our eyes. Racism, misogyny and jingoism. Anyone who think these aren’t blaring indicators of easily manipulated fascism hasn’t been paying attention or is brain dead to reality.

I am so afraid she is right. I just don't see any sign of this stopping without violent resistance. Are we willing to do that? They will never stop. I feel sick to my stomach right now.

[BobTheSubgenius]

9. Jim Wright is an EXCELLENT writer, and, were his allegiances different,

a man who the right would be damned proud to call their own. Career military, neither pro- nor anti-gun, but VERY much anti-gun-nut, being an absolute expert on the subject of guns.

He once said that, in his early years, he considered himself a moderate Republican...and his opinions and sentiments haven't changed. The GOP left him behind to the point that his consistent views, over the years, have become liberal.

Stonekettle Station should be at least perused by anyone into reading damned fine blogs.

[Arkansas Granny]

10. I may not agree with all of Jim's viewpoints, but he is a gifted writer and will make you think.

[malthaussen]

46. I agree.

I've been following him for awhile. I like the way he doesn't pull punches, and asks the awkward questions.

12. This is too much!

It's 2018! I guess MAGA is bringing back ALL the hits! All this craziness makes me want to scream.

Keep sharing, Arkansas Granny. We need all hands on deck to stop us from going where Mango Mussolini and company want to take us. Anyone that doesn't believe that, hasn't been paying attention.

[Arkansas Granny]

13. I have seen more open racism since Trump's election than I can recall in decades.

It's like he has opened up an infected wound and corruption is just oozing out.

[spicysista]

15. Absolutely and Sorta!?!

When I was in elementary school, David Duke ran a nearly successful race to become governor of my state. Then President George H. W. Bush had to speak out against him from the national stage. It opened my young eyes in ways that shook my foundation. My young friends, especially, surprised me more than anyone else. Remember, it was the 1990s, not 1950s!
I do recall things seeming to simmer down for a bit. I guess that would depend on your social circles. In Baton Rouge, there was a huge desegregation lawsuit that wasn't settled until August 12, 2003. Yes, I did type 2003! It took 47 years to reach a conclusion!
During President Obama's tenure the racists lost their minds, and shame if you ask me, in an epic way! But you are also right! Under Dolt#45, they have really decided to let their racist freak flag fly!
We are just going to have to keep spreading the word, Arkansas Granny. I hope your fingers are ready for some serious typing!
Peace and love to you and yours!

[JohnnyRingo]

32. OMG! Thanx for posting that.

I recall that video from back in the day, but forgot the title. I searched for it once without results. I believe the zero-G effects were filmed in the so called vomit comet.

The song means less to me than the truly ground breaking cine, produced in the infancy of CGI.

[spicysista]

33. It was cool, right?

There were a few videos produced at that time with similar effects. Check out Busta Rhymes ft. Janet Jackson in " What's It Gonna Be".
Still, getting back to the thread, "Scream" is exactly how "Nazis are hot again" makes me feel. This is just crazy!

[JohnnyRingo]

41. There's another similar one with just Janet.

I also don't remember the song, but it has her dancing weightlessly in a long chamber.

I'd like to see that one again.

[SunSeeker]

14. A Trump bumper sticker might as well be a swastika.

It means the same thing.

[bigbrother05]

17. If it was wrapped in the Stars and Bars

With the Dotard in the WH, why would a racist, Nazi misogynist be afraid, hide, or even feel shame?

Now they get a pat on the back from their friends and a police escort to the town square.

[SunSeeker]

18. Yep. nt

[SunSeeker]

22. By the way, love this story about a judge upholding a bar's right to kick out a MAGA-hat wearer.

https://patch.com/new-york/west-village/bar-owners-allowed-throw-our-maga-hat-wearers-judge-says

Douchebag claimed the hat represented his spirituality, claimed some sort of religious discrimination. Oh the irony.

20. I posted...

Neo-Nazis Burned a Swastika After Their Rally in Georgia

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

21. Someone posted this to twitter and one of the replies said

something to the effect of, "Settle down! There were just like 30 of them."

So, what if it were 40? 60? 100? 1000? Where do we draw the line.

[7962]

34. It DOES matter. They're insignificant. Losers had to go to the woods to burn their signs.

They've been "marching" for decades all over the country. And they NEVER have the support of the locals. They also never have very many members. 1978 the SCOTUS said they could show their ass.
I think protests in the future, everyone should point and laugh instead of yelling or chanting. MUCH more embarrassing to the fools

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

48. That might be good. Or, I often wonder if they should hold the protest in a neighboring town.

Everyone in the town where the Nazis march could shun them. Maybe we could do experiments with each method. I'm sure there will plenty of opportunities while the Liar in Chief is still POTUS.

[7962]

49. I think thats also a great idea. What if you hold a march and NOBODY shows up?

That might be an even bigger virtual slap in the face. They get NO response from ANYONE

[mcar]

23. Sorry, we have to have non-stop discussions over 10 YO blog posts

from a media person.

[Arkansas Granny]

26. Yeah. Priorities, right?

[mcar]

27. Yep

[treestar]

24. Omg

And so true.

[TomVilmer]

29. Nazis are the very least of our problems...

... the dress for the job and are easy to spot. Most people hates them, and they are normally not very clever.

The big problem is the ones without the swastika, who basically have the same ideas anyway.

[Garrett78]

40. And yet some insist that Democrats need to focus on winning them over.

They bash "identity politics" and promote the economic anxiety myth. Absolute foolishness. Forget about trying to win back so-called Reagan Democrats and Trump voters. Focus on inspiring the base, reach out to those who don't vote, and fight back against voter suppression and gerrymandering. Speak forcefully against racism, sexism, xenophobia and all forms of oppression.

[zentrum]

30. Hear it loud and clear. nt

[JohnnyRingo]

31. I strongly defend their right to assemble.

As a donor member of the ACLU I have to back the state in accommodating all forms of public speech, but I also support and encourage counter protest to send a message to hate groups.

[7962]

35. I said above, I think protest participants should laugh at them instead of yelling.

Just point and laugh as they walk by.

[JohnnyRingo]

42. I imagine Klan rallies used to be scarier...

...back in the age of mounted horsemen as they stormed a town with torches and thundering hooves.

Seeing a handful of them now pop their beer guts out of a Chrysler minivan doesn't seem as intimidating. they just look like children playing dress up.

[7962]

43. Exactly!!

[Madam Mossfern]

44. My thoughts exactly

they need to be ridiculed.

[UpInArms]

37. Jim Wright ever issues what is real

👍🏼👍🏼

[Wawannabe]

38. Truly scary

And truly sad.

[malthaussen]

45. And the COUNTER-protesters were arrested.

It's funny Jim didn't mention this; maybe he missed it with all the other crap going down.
