Was Rick also one of those violent anti-racists at the anti-nazi gathering Jan 22? Did he wear a Bandanna and a hood to avoid being identified after attacking the racists? If he didn't he most likely supported them. Isn't everything justified when your fighting hate???????????????

Someone published this picture on the net, and the last time I checked, satire was protected speech.

You've expressed concern about violence before. Ideally communication would happen about this without all the yelling and insults. Assuming and generalizing about any of us who disagree with you doesn't get any of us anywhere.

Jim,

I'm glad you're here. I think the more people talking, the better.

I certainly hope everyone here at OlyBlog doesn't change their standards as far as addressing another poster simply because there is someone with a vastly different point of view.

Hopefully, Jim, you do become a frequent and coherent contributor.

As an aside, regarding the copyright issue. I do believe that Jim is right to point out the image is protected by copyright. Do I agree with him? Not really, especially in this context (a blog).

As Sarah also pointed out, it's ironic that someone seeking protection for copyrighted material has a webpage full of it.

Unless Jim is going to take Rick to court over the matter to protect his property, there's not a whole lot that can happen (outside of Rick voluntarily taking it down).

From nukeisrael.com (Jim's site):

They call her Sarah: A mentally defective leftist from Olympia Washington.
Sarah is the ringleader of a sickening group that believes their main goal in life is to suppress our Constitutionally-protected rights of Freedom of Speech and Assembly.
Sarah leads the very anti-white hate group called: "Oly Unity" which is made up of a motley crew of lesbians, communists, leftists, hippies and a cesspool of deranged hate-filled filth. Their goal is simple: Run the NSM out of Olympia!

I think poking a little fun is the least we can do.

Submitted by Olydude on Wed, 02/22/2006 - 9:32am.

This is what happend: Tuesday morning I went out the door to my house and saw a curious little package on the ground. I picked it up thinking it was some piece of litter that some one had tossed. I planned on tossing it into the litter bag in my vehicle. When I picked it up it seemed odd. It was a baggie with gravel and a white piece of paper rolled up on which I could make out the word "whitey". I looked around and noticed identical packages on the road side and in neighboring driveways. I opened the package read the sheet of paper it contained and said WTF. Why is this crap happening in my neighborhood. The sheet had a drawing of a person tossing the Star of David into a trash can and spouted some rhetoric about saving the white race. It then went on to mention that a permit had been secured for a rally in July on the capitol campus. At the bottom was an invitation to go the the website that has been frequently mentioned in this thread. I noticed that these packages were littering yards and sidewalks in the general vicinity of Puget Street and Bigelow park. I did send an email to the Police Dept. complaining about the littering. I also plan on sending an email to our city council to find out why Olympia is a "Nuclear Free Zone" but seems to be safe harbor for hate mongers.

Submitted by The Fire Inside on Wed, 02/22/2006 - 9:03am.

I haven't been able to figure that out, either. I read the manifesto (or what I assume to be) on their webpage but it doesn't really outline anything coherent. For the most part it's basically The media is controlled by CBS (JEWS!).

Kind of left me scratching my head.

Although, Jim, you'll be happy to note I agree with you on the first point regarding the Second World War and the aftermath (we actually discussed your organization a while back) of the definition of a "war crime." You're absolutely right, the winner of a conflict is able to write history in their favor.

That doesn't mean, however, the Allies should be demonized simply for events over the course of the war. It was done for a Greater Good.

Submitted by djmega on Wed, 02/22/2006 - 10:56am.

The left/right dichotomy is really kind of a misnomer. Socialism basically is a statist position that implies that the state should own all the property and means of production. Socialists can be either leftist and in favor of civil liberties, and see communal ownership through the state as a way to protect against the human rights abuses associated with capitalism and private property, or like Stalin, they can be extreme fascists who see socialism as a mechanism to assume state control over all resources and production for the benefit of the (fascist) state.

And in that regard I fail to see much difference between the philosophies of Hitler or Stalin. The new Nazis have more in common with Stalinist Communists than any member of the Evergroove community I've known. In this age of relativity, both of those genocidal maniacs (Adolf and Joe) are a reminder that evil does exist in the world. It is a sad comment on the state of our society today that such dogmas can find any appeal to anyone.
