A Facebook group dedicated to opposing far-right groups in Leipzig posted a picture on Facebook on Sunday that has been riling up anger in the eastern city. The picture shows what appears to be an AfD campaign car decorated with the official party logo and pictures of candidates parked at an outdoor festival with a front license plate that reads “AH 1818”.

The group NO LEGIDA — a reference to a local section of anti-Islam movement PEGIDA — points out that AH refers to the initials of Adolf Hitler and 18 refers to AH again as the first and eighth letters of the alphabet. […]

The chair of the local party branch, Siegbert Droese, tried to distance the party from what he said was a mistake. He explained in a statement on Monday that the car did not belong to the AfD, but rather was only for him to use, according to local broadcaster MDR.

The group NO LEGIDA - a reference to a local section of anti-Islam movement Pegida - points out that AH refers to the initials of Adolf Hitler and 18 refers to AH again as the first and eighth letters of the alphabet.

These are common symbols used by neo-Nazi groups and such a combination of the letters and numbers on license plates is forbidden in Bavaria.

Left always hallucinated. Pelosi saw swastikas at Tea Party rallies in 2010

Did people really expect there not to be a resurgence of militant nationalism when M(Urkel) was busy giving away their nation to the invaders, HISTORICAL invaders, who are absolutely committed to destroying anything not muslim.

Germany was at least at war the last time the raping and pillaging hordes came for their women...

So the European/German Left acts exactly the same as the American Left, with this brand of inane B.S.?

For the Communist-loving press in this country and around the world, there is no such thing as the political “Right.” Everywhere on the planet any political organization to the right of these Communist lovers must be designated as the “FAR RIGHT.” Strange that there is no such entity as the “FAR LEFT.”

CPUSA, America’s communist party, stopped running its own presidential candidates in the late 80’s after many decades of doing so. They decided they would be more successful working through the Democrats. Fact.
