In this case the word 'spectacular' needs to precede 'idiot'.

Nope, but at least in this case the bigot was promptly removed from his party post and fired from his job. That should serve as a warning to future Swiss bigots that calling for violence carries with it real costs.

Of course, though, Pamela Geller will proclaim this asshole to have been "persecuted for urging resistance to Islam!!1". But that will just be that same old hateful bullshit as usual from her.

The horrible irony is that by itself, "Kristallnacht" means crystal night, conjuring images of some lovely ball in beautiful dresses among gorgeous crystal and ice sculpture with beautiful music and good food.

The reality is very, very ugly, and bears no resemblance.

That kind of ugly has no place in a modern society.

This is precisely why you will almost NEVER hear the term "Kristallnacht" in Germany. It is typically referred to as "Reichspogromnacht" or "Novemberpogrome 1938".

Adequately ugly words.

At least in Switzerland imbeciles like Müller lose their public positions when they express sentiments such as this. Still waiting for anybody to force Arpaio et al out of their jobs.
