Neo-Nazism rears its ugly head in Germany - where else?

Okay, so Udo Voigt, aged 62, is the new face of German extreme right-wingism, nay, neo-nazism (leader of and MEP for the National Democratic Party - don’t be fooled by that “Democratic”: Hitler was neither a Socialist nor a Democrat), but does he have to be “the son of a Nazi SA assault division member” and have that moustache?

Read the rest of the appalling story here, if you have the stomach for it. That said, this might be sufficient to convince you that you don’t need to: “Three years after being found guilty in 2004 of promoting Nazism after he called Hitler “a great man,” Voigt questioned the number of Holocaust deaths and demanded the return of German land lost after World War II.

The Germs never did get over the idea they were the "master race."

OTOH, who would like being a martyr better than a poet?

Some of them, at least, didn't.

Hm... and I thought poets value freedom and free drinks more than anything else.

All of the older ones, I think. Hitler was very popular, at least before he started the war.

Yes, he was a very heroic man and should be remembered for it especially in today's Russia.

Unfortunately, today's Russia marches to other drummers.
