They called it an “election gimmick” and a “campaign gag”, but the new president-elect of Austria once presided over his party’s campaign that declared: “Anyone who loves Austria must be shit”.
Alexander Van der Bellen – who appears to have defeated the Freedom Party’s Norbert Hofer by around just 30,000 of nearly five million votes – has a track record of opposing the nation state as a concept, and his own as a reality.
In 2007, while he was leader of the Austrian Greens, the party published a picture of a dog with the Austrian flag in its mouth. The poster read: “Take your flag for your gag”, followed by the declaration that anyone who loves the country “must be sh*t”.
The flag “joke” was a play on a campaign urging dog owners to place their dog’s excrement in bags and trash cans. The Austrian greens replaced the bag with a flag of Austria in the image (right).
And while, of course, efforts were made to distance Van der Bellen from this 2007 Green Party initiative, the issue re-emerged on the run up to this weekend’s final round of presidential election voting. Far be it from a “gag” or one-off incident, critics say, this attitude against borders and nations runs deep through the Austrian Green Party which is now in charge of the presidency of the country.
Newspapers drew attention to another more recent incident, whereby a leading Green activist declared: “Austria [is a] lousy piece of shit!” when discussing the country’s recent border controls to deal with Europe’s migrant crisis. “These are facts, not subjective opinion,” Georg H. posted to his Facebook page.

Yeah, it’s a little odd that every election, every where in the world is somewhere around 50/50.
>>Any Freepers from Austria or Germany care to explain stuff like this....
Transnational Progressivism is not limited to the USA.
These are people who will continue to do what they do until they are standing in line for their own execution by the people they put in power, and then they’ll whine, “How did this happen? Why didn’t anyone stop it?”
You could be both Austrian and German since the two are not mutually exclusive. The Austrian empire was huge and included much of what we call Germany today. The curious thing is that Prussia and Austria had virtually identical goals of uniting all of the Germanic states into one unified Germany, but Austria was overconfident and wanted total countrol. Prussia learned all about wartime uses of railroads, telegraphs, and breech-loading rifles from the Union Army in the US and kicked Austria to the curb in a mere 7 weeks.
My father and I had a difficult relationship. I had inherited his stubbornness. He died 25 years ago and I still miss him and all the conversations we did not have.
-—Hope the Austrians enjoy their new Muslim Masters. They voted for it.

Or their lib party cheated for it...
Whenever a vote is close, why does the lib party always edge out the win?
Cheating is all about finding just enough to put you over the top, unless your a dictator, then you get 100% of the vote.
Exactly! Identical in thought and mind. We wait to count the months before he, too, brings into the nation countless infected ‘victims’ of contagious life threatening diseases. Radical outsiders to rape the women, sodomize the children and then giving these animals the right to vote. It never ends with this bunch. The only way to defeat them is to WIN BIG. Once in office it’s impossible to dislodge them from that comfortable cushy chair. The NWO is upon us.
It shouldn’t even be that close.
I like it !
