Come on, show us the real postings, where he uses the nazi site " in his own
threads to
support his views... ".

If everyone who agrees with the view that too many people come to this
country claiming asylum who are actually economic migrants is counted as a
nazi then you'll find the current government is guilty. As are the Sun, the
Mirror, the BBC, the Mail (especially the Mail)...

Come on, show us the "links direct to racist flash videos". The one you
mention uses racial stereotypes to make a point, but that's not the same
thing.

Come on, show us what you claim or admit that you're full of ****.

I would buy from the Ku Klux Klan if they were cheaper than anyone else.
I
am a colour-blind bargain hunter.

how very bright of you. this isnt just about colour you complete tit.

I do not think someone of your high morals would be buying much, if you
look at most merchandise, it is made with cheap labour from oppressive
countries which I am sure you will be against? Adidas, Nike, the list
is endless, exploitation.
Like the previous poster, I do not care what the veiws of
representatives of companies I deal with, are. If you look close enough
at companies and subsidiaries and their suppliers, you would not have
to go far before you come across you do not agree with.

Chinese takeaway to reply

I also believe that people should be made
aware of attitudes like this so as to have the right not to shop there,
whether they are cheap or not (which they aren't) is not the right attitude
to have, which is why I boycott McDonalds, Coca Cola-Schweppes, Marks And
Spencers, Gap, Nike, Seimens (used slave labour from Jews in 2nd World War)
etc etc etc.

Where's IBM in your list?

Nowhere in the post you refer to does Spie make any racist comment. Whilst
your quote is taken, I assume, from the website the flash originated from,
and looks to be the workings of someone who, to put it mildly, doesn't play
well with others, your assumption seems to be that because Spie posted a
link to a flash animation on that site, then he 'obviously' fully supports,
agrees and endorses the sites views. This assumption is a dangerous one to
make, as being concerned about the number of asylum seekers and illegal
immigrants coming into this country doesn't make you racist, it makes you a
citizen concerned about the state and welfare of the country as a whole.

I think it's fair to say the jewish, quaker and romany germans weren't
big on him.

Actually, there was a large Jewish support for Hitler.

Many people make the mistake of believing that Hitler was the architect of
the Final Solution. In actual fact, as with everything, it was a combination
of events that led to the institution of the Final Solution. Largely
distanced from reality and as his injuries (gained during the 1st World War)
as well as the stress of having to be seen to be leading took their toll
upon him, his cabinet (selected by him for their similar views) began to
press for further and more extreme measures. The problem there was that
there was no opposition within the cabinet and no real constraints. Add to
that the facts that (like today) the economic situation was grim (the
depression had started only a few years earlier) for which the government
was looking for people to blame (pretty much as the Tories and then Labour
blamed the unemployed and then single mothers for the countries woes) and
the fact that worldwide Jews, gypsies etc had very much fallen from favour
and it's possible to see a swing on the part of society not just in Germany
but internationally - against Jews and gypsies. All this combined and
centred most notably in Berlin. But don't make the mistake of thinking that
it was only a Nazi thing. The American and British governments were pretty
anti-semitic at the tme too. They neatly buried that and erased a lot from
the pages of history in their attempt to look whiter than white after the
war.

Place a group of people who believe mildly in something together, give them
power and distance them from society. Eventually the beliefs take over and
get more extreme. This was shown quite adequately when a US college
professor separated a group of students into prisoners and guards. The
guards became viscious and the prisoners suffered. This is an inherant trait
in people - not a specific person or a specific group.

Spie posts a link, and gives an opinion on the link

so ?
he isn't supporting them, ok i think his opinion is wrong, so what ?
unless they start ranting about 'white' power on their site, who cares, it's
just a discussion about politics basicly, hence the politics section on the
forum

now if you can come up with anything better, shut the hell up

Quite so, even down to whether the MD makes donations to a particular
