So Who Are The Nazis? Meet Atlas’s Thugs

The counterjihad movement has made itself an easy target.


Recommended. We were talking a bit about the EDL on the lounge thread last night.
I loved this from your link:

There is little reason to engage a figure like Geller on the merits of her deranged characterizations.


and

The reorientation of the BNP around a pro-Zionist, Islamophobic platform led directly to the rise of the EDL. Now Pam Geller has volunteered as perhaps the group’s most prominent online promoter. So who is the Nazi?


Also:

How I wish I could be there to stand with the English Defense League,” Geller pined.

So what happens at a typical EDL rally? According to a report by Wales Online, at an October 2009 rally in Swansea by the EDL’s Wales-based affiliate, the Welsh Defense League, “onlookers were confronted with scenes of jeering men giving Nazi salutes.”


I like the pic lablled “The Pam Geller approved EDL burning an anti-Nazi flag”.
Way to go, shrieking harpy.
