Somewhere in mulling the problematics of my recent comment from Bill White, which is that in response to perhaps a bit too vague a question he responded with “Since you asked” and went on to answer an unasked question, I clicked over to Bill White’s website, overthrow.com — and at the top of the page\u00c2\u00a0sat this editorial:<\/p>\n
Today’s Neo-Nazis Have No Respect for Tradition By Karl Quandt.<\/em><\/p>\n The other week, I read that the founder of the National Vanguard is in the clink for having child pornography in his computer. What is going on with today’s white nationalists? Here it is, 2007, and global Aryan supremacy is no closer to becoming a reality than it was 60 years ago. I lay the blame squarely on the shoulders of this new generation. These kids today are making a disgrace of neo-Nazism. <\/em><\/p>\n In my day, it wasn’t just about mindless hate\u00e2\u20ac\u201dwe hated because we stood for something. Namely, tradition, discipline, and self-respect: values that these low-life punks have no comprehension of whatsoever. We exalted our glorious forebears, in Germany as well as the United States. But who today remembers the great American neo-Nazi leaders like George Lincoln Rockwell or Matt Koehl? Who honors the great heroes and martyrs of the National Socialist White People’s Party?<\/em><\/p>\n It’s enough to make me ashamed to be a neo-Nazi.<\/em><\/p>\n You can’t just call yourself the Master Race\u00e2\u20ac\u201dyou have to act like it, and hold yourself to a higher standard than those you despise and wish to exterminate. Have you seen the way these kids dress? Their idea of a “uniform” is a T-shirt and combat boots. The rural militias are even worse, with their filthy fatigues and long hair and beer guts. Excuse me, but I hardly think hillbilly rejects are what our great F\u00c3\u00bchrer had in mind when he dreamed of a world filled with Aryan supermen. I wouldn’t even let them in my front door, let alone conspire with them to blow up a synagogue.<\/em><\/p>\n Reading through this, and looking over the rest of the site — which saw items I suppose you would expect from the “Matt Drudge of the neo-nazi world”, and Bill White’s current defense of Zirkel, and current brohauhau with wonkette and littlegreenfootballs (the latter referred to as yellow chickens, or thereabouts), this particular editorial confounded me.\u00c2\u00a0 My question was simply, “Is this a joke?”<\/p>\n And then I saw the link to where it came from, and got my answer:\u00c2\u00a0 Yes.\u00c2\u00a0 Yes it is a joke.<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0 Thank you very much, you’ve all been great.\u00c2\u00a0 Which begs a new question, what did the neo-nazi posting it think it was?\u00c2\u00a0 Did they have a hearty laugh or did they shake their head in agreeement?\u00c2\u00a0 Is this the case where they surf around the web and post items in a sort of vanity-sakes which reference the “neo-nazi” movement, no matter what light it falls under, The Onion giving press to the Movement and that’s a good thing?<\/p>\n Looking about the Internet, I see that Bill White has just passed through legal disputes<\/a> over a fairly obnoxious matter<\/a> against\u00c2\u00a0one blogger\u00c2\u00a0at the conservative blog “littlegreenfootballs” and another at the liberal blog “wonkette”.\u00c2\u00a0 (Based off of coverage of the Zirkel matter<\/a>.)<\/p>\n
