Hannity's Pal Marches With Neo-Nazis In D.C.

By Cernig

A busload of Neo-Nazis held a march today in D.C., assembling on Constitution Avenue to "denounce illegal immigration and to offer white Americans an alternative to the two-party political system." The marchers, carrying Swastika flags and yelling "Sieg Heil", were protected by a massive show of force from D.C. police and several counter-demonstrators were arrested in struggles.

Alongside the 30 marchers from the Michigan-based National Socialist Movement was Hal Turner, rightwing white-supremacist radio host.

One speaker railed against illegal immigrants and shouted, "White America, your option is with us." Another, introduced as radio host Hal Turner, said the group was "part of a much greater movement" that was "willing to play hardball" to fight illegal immigration. He warned that if Congress did not solve the problem, the movement would assemble in "minority areas" of U.S. cities and "clean house."

Periodically, hecklers watching from a distance shouted "racist pig" or vulgar slogans. But a far more powerful reproof came from a protester who played a tape of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech from the March on Washington in 1963.

"Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood," King's voice boomed across the Capitol.

Turner was recently the subject of much blogging when he contradicted Fox radio host Sean Hannity, who had said he didn't know Turner at all:

I was quite disappointed when Sean Hannity at first tried to say he didn't know me and then went on to say that I ran some senate campaign in New Jersey. In fact, Sean Hannity does know me and we were quite friendly a number of years ago.

In 2000, Turner tried and failed to get the Republican nomination for election to Congress from New Jersey's 13th district. Ironically, today was also the anniversary of the Ku Klux Klan Act, passed by a Republican-controlled Congress in the days when their party wasn't the first option for white-supremacist racists.

About those illegal aliens - from Mars, or Venus?

A wide variety of political viewpoints oppose uncontrolled immigration into the US. INdeed polls show this is a majority view. Mischaracterizing this as some kind of fringe neoNazi opinion is utterly despicable.

Nabal, where did I say that it was only neo-Nazis who held that view? Show me where I mischaracterized. Put up or shut up.

And if you think I'm despicable then don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. This is my place, not yours, and a Scotsman's blog is his castle.

Personally I find it despicable that Turner advocates his Nazi pals "cleaning house" in inner city areas. How about you, Nabal? You seem to have nothing to say on that.

With an utter lack of regard, Cernig

Crazy, crazy.

But remember, kids, it's the Democratic Party that's racist and sexist! You can tell just by looking at their candidates!
