Wow. His nick is Flac88 - 88 is often used by neo-Nazis/Nazi sympathizers to represent HH - Heil Hitler. See here and here.

From Wiki: "Eighty-eight is used as code among Neo-Nazis to identify each other. H is the 8th letter of the alphabet, so 88 is taken to stand for HH which in turn means Heil Hitler. For example, the number is used in the song "88 rock'n'roll band" by the neo-Nazi group Landser. The late convicted Order terrorist David Lane wrote "Fourteen Words" and 88 Precepts, and the numbers are often found in combination (1488, 14/88, etc.). This form of the number has inspired the naming of the groups Column 88, Unit 88, and White Legion 88."

So his grandfather fought for the Nazis, he's obsessed with Nazi memorabilia, has 88 in his nickname and he's ferociously anti-Israel. But it's all just a coincidence, I'm sure.

Any chance someone in the MSM will pick this up and investigate it further?

His nick is Flac88

Flak88 (though he uses Flac88 as well).

Flak 88 was a German anti-aircraft and anti-tank artillery gun used during World War II.

Mere Rhetoric quotes the explanation for the nick from Marc Garlasco: "My grandfather was in Flak from 1938-1945. He began as a range-finder (Entfernungsmesser) operator on 88s preparing for sea-lion, and later became a radar operator."

Still seems a somewhat complex background.
