The Nazi party was extremely popular in the United States in the late 1930s. Huge fascist rallies were held in venues that included Madison Square Garden.

No, but as I said at the end, we sure do like supporting regimes who have done and continue to carry out this kinds of actions and policies. Including Israel which in 2008 basically turned Gaza into one huge gas chamber.

@AndrewMann552 Yeah, I'll never understand how we train and support bad guys, then when they turn on us, they become horrible threats. WTF!?

kfarm2001's comment that the Nazi party was 'extremely' popular is not true. It in fact had very limited popularity. Most people didn't even know it existed.

That scurrilous jibe about Israel is as grotesquely unfair as it is untrue. Since it came into being, Israel has been under attack, by those who have never been in the least interested in compromise and who want only its destruction. A brief look at the politics and the governments of the Arab countries which border it, and of those beyond that, such as Iraq, Saudi Arabia and non-Arab Iran, reveal one corrupt despotic regime after another, with Moslem fanaticism the alternative.

@AndrewMann552 - That same line appears on the Aryan Nation website. Great, impartial research!

@babalabordei So Israel doesn't continue getting weapons from the US during a ceasefire? If you look at the record, Palestinians actually do honor ceasefires, Israel is usually the one who breaks them. For example, before the Gaza war, Israel broke the ceasefire on November 4, 2008.

@AndrewMann552

How do you call a Palestinian ceasefire?

I think most of you totally miss the point. Nazi success could only come about so rapidly with locals collaborating. It should come as no surprise that when the crap hits the fan, local law enforcement will do whatever they are told to protect their paychecks and that includes standing patriots against the wall and executing them.

@kfarm2001 Clarification. The German American Bund was popular among a small segment of Americans of German descent. Part of this was the way this group was suppressed during WWI. Many of those who participated in the Bund went on to honorable service in the US Army during WWII. Also, when the Jewish gangsters attacked the Bund n NY, the cops, most of whom were good Irish Catholics, looked the other way - they didn't much like the Bund either. Keep things in perspective.
