Just in case you didn’t suspect that this post and this one might be connected, I received an e-mail from a friendly correspondent saying the following:
I am planning on coming up to watch the silliness of the NAZI’s on Saturday. I am waiting on a call from a close friend of mind (with) C-Span. They are thinking seriously about covering it in light of all that has happened with Spurrier.
I don’t know whether that’s true, but whether C-SPAN is interested or not, it might be interesting to see what kinds of flags appear at the rally Saturday. I mean, aside from the usual swastika sort.

Will you be disappointed if an American flag appears in the group? Or will you focus soley on the Confederate battle flag that is likely to be there by these idiots. Any coverage you give them will be giving them what they want… if you and everyone else ignores them they’ll stay away in the future. Their ultimate goal would be for a riot to break out.
Gee Brad,
To my knowledge, the Nazis are ardent supporters of the Iraq war just as you are. The Nazis traditionally have been rabidly opposed to smoking. I surely thought that you would be marching with the Brotherhood! Does the following sound familiar?
The anti-tobacco campaign of the Nazis: a little known aspect of public health in Germany, 1933-45
“Historians and epidemiologists have only recently begun to explore the Nazi anti-tobacco movement. Germany had the world’s strongest antismoking movement in the 1930s and early 1940s, encompassing bans on smoking in public spaces, bans on advertising, restrictions on tobacco rations for women, and the world’s most refined tobacco epidemiology, linking tobacco use with the already evident epidemic of lung cancer. The anti-tobacco campaign must be understood against the backdrop of the Nazi quest for racial and bodily purity, which also motivated many other public health efforts of the era.”
“The Luftwaffe banned smoking in 1938 and the post office did likewise. Smoking was barred in many workplaces, government offices, hospitals, and rest homes. The NSDAP (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei) announced a ban on smoking in its offices in 1939, at which time SS chief Heinrich Himmler announced a smoking ban for all uniformed police and SS officers while on duty. The Journal of the American Medical Association that year reported Hermann Goering’s decree barring soldiers from smoking on the streets, on marches, and on brief off duty periods.”
“Sixty of Germany’s largest cities banned smoking on street cars in 1941. Smoking was banned in air raid shelters–though some shelters reserved separate rooms for smokers. During the war years tobacco rationing coupons were denied to pregnant women (and to all women below the age of 25) while restaurants and cafes were barred from selling cigarettes to female customers. From July 1943 it was illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to smoke in public. Smoking was banned on all German city trains and buses in 1944, the initiative coming from Hitler himself, who was worried about exposure of young female conductors to tobacco smoke. Nazi policies were heralded as marking “the beginning of the end” of tobacco use in Germany.”
For a serious explanation of the rise of fascism (i.e., the Corporate State), please read the following transcript of Michael Parenti. Fascism is a right wing economic movement that advocates the merger of corporations and government, where corporations play the dominant role. Today we call this “the private/public partnership”. Germany took fascist economic theory and combined it with racist ideology to create Nazism. “National Socialism” is in no sense socialist and therefore is a deliberate misnomer. Once the Nazis came to power, they immediately set out to murder socialists, democrats, social democrats, liberals, Jews, liberal Christians and everyone else who opposed the Corporate State. The affluent classes who were adamantly opposed to Socialism funded fascists in both Italy and Germany. The Nazis and the fascists crushed labor unions and all other workers’ organizations and cooperatives. Fascism was and is a derivative and consequence of capitalism because capitalism requires corporations to function. If government doesn’t limit and regulate corporate power, then fascism will inevitably result.
Brad advocates a corporate state as demonstrated by his desire for a smoke-free dinner?!! And here I was thinking he simply wanted to breath…
The rally on Saturday will be a very historic day in South Carolina for all of the WRONG reasons. For those of you do not know, the purpose of this rally is to protest illegal immigration. South Carolina, while having problems with illegal immigrants pales in comparison to Texas, Arizona, Louisiana and New Mexico. These are the states that have had numerous documentaries and news features done on their immigration problems. South Carolina, not even a real blip on the radar.
I have traveled throughout rural South Carolina and stopped at gas stations where I have heard white supremacist “types” refer to hispanics who speak better english then they do as negro neuevos. Loosely translated the “new nigger”.
The reason these guys are having there rally in South Carolina is quite simple…South Carolina is the only state that flies the Capital grounds.
This further reinforces the point and the perception to the public outside of the palmetto state that South Carolina is stuck in a time warp of hatred that can never move into the the future that can lead to massive skilled job creation for all south carolinians.
Unfortunately, I think the earlier protester is right…this is nothing but an opportunity for a race riot to occur.
If you really think Arizona is a more appropriate place to protest lack of enforcement of our border laws, why don’t YOU go to Arizona and protest?
If you actually support illegal aliens, and their abuse by child labor, prostitution, slavery, and bank usury, tell us why.
