WASHINGTON — It is Facebook for the fascist set, and the typical online profiles of its members reveal expected tastes.

Favorite book: “Mein Kampf.”

Favorite movie: the Nazi propaganda film “Triumph of the Will.”

Interests: “white women.”

Dislikes: “anyone who opposes the master race.”

But there’s one other thing that dozens of members of newsaxon.org, a white supremacist social networking website, have in common: They proudly identify themselves as active-duty members of the U.S. armed forces.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, the Montgomery, Ala.-based watchdog group that tracks extremist hate groups, has compiled a book containing the online user profiles of at least 40 newsaxon.org users who say they are serving in the military, in apparent violation of Pentagon regulations prohibiting racist extremism in the ranks.

On Friday, the SPLC will present its findings to key members of Congress who chair the House and Senate committees overseeing the armed forces and urge them to pressure the Pentagon to crack down.....

I very much dislike the SPLC however if there are those in the military actively participating in racist organizations then they are to be punished under the UCMJ.

"I very much dislike the SPLC however if there are those in the military actively participating in racist organizations then they are to be punished under the UCMJ."

And if they are SPLC plants? What'cha gonnado? Let the SPLC name names and turn 'em over to the military. Until they can do that, it's all wind and no sail. Anyone can make self-serving accusations like I did just now.

The assertion does not prove the fact.

Exactly. If anything I believe those people are posers. I knew a couple of racist scumbags in the Army and people generally avoided them as much as possible. Stupid lefties.

If an individual in the military chooses to join an online social group that is deemed racist, but he does not display racism on duty, would he still be violating the UCMJ?

I could see FR being declared a racist social group although I don't believe that it is. I base this on the fact that libs have categorized FR as racist. At what point does the military draw the line?

Hundreds of thousands. But you can't take the word of a propagandist organization like the SPLC unless they can produce hard data. Even then, watch out for the spin. They'll spin ya dizzy. ( ^: }

Yep. When I was at Ft. Sill we had a soldier come in tattooed all over with some of them being of a racist nature so I had to take him to the side and express to him how Uncle Sam doesn’t care for racism and that with his tattoos he should be careful. Everything went well and he seemed to get along fine with the rest of the soldiers black and white until one day he got into an argument and began calling some of the other soldiers n##gers and others n##ger lovers. Since he was still under training and thus still able to rehabilitate we recycled him and gave him an article 15 and he had to go through some mandatory sensitivity training and manual labor until the new cycle began. He learned his lesson and still claimed to not be a racist just said that is how he was taught to talk to people of color when they made him mad.

I believe that these soldiers should be investigated at the same time they investigate all soldiers belonging to Farrakhans Black Muslims.

You can get a waiver for most anything to get in to the mlitary up to non violent felonies and racist tattoos.
