Is anyone else not able to view this segment in its entirety?

Speechless. It's amazing

Speechless. It's amazing what they have talked themselves into believing.

So much for their "2 to 3 new members a day and 3 WA units"...heh.

2 or 3 a day....right!

They couldn't get more than 12 people at their Olympia rally in July. If they are gaining 2 or 3 new members a day, as Justin claimed, then their "3 Washington State units" must be bursting at the seams with little Nazis. Sadly, Justin is deluding himself, much like his hero, the little corporal, did. The units have, I would venture to guess, about 2 or 3 members each...what's that, Justin...6 to 9 total? He even had to vacate Washington and move to Ohio to do damage control there, which proves that these people are dying racist dinosaurs, and I say....let them die off!

I know I shouldn't be surprised....

...but good heavens that kid was inarticulate. And misinformed.

The Canaanite's Call

It worked

Finally I was able to watch the whole thing. What an uncomfortable ordeal. I wish people would have just ignored those pathetic "Nazis." One interviewee had it right - the "Nazis" were just trying to get attention. Too bad they had to be fed, and that protesters reduced themselves to the level the "Nazis" themselves with angry sloganeering.

redux

Now the arguments that I had about the response to the 'Nazis' are coming back. I remember the argument to ignore these vile racists got me in a fair amount of trouble with some people.

And I agree, it wouldn't have been good to ignore. But I am certain that the type of reaction the "Nazi" provocateurs solicited was not the best response either.

As a non-ignoring alternative, I would have preferred to have seen a (more or less) silent yet visible vigil to bear witness - but not aggravate or antagonize the "Nazis." A vigil atmosphere could have been used to draw light to the horrors of the holocaust in Nazi Germany.

But the sort of reaction the 'Nazis' provoked played right into their attention seeking hands.
