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.

How many Dems, especially the liberal indoctrinated college ones, are amenable to spelling America as “Amerika?”
One of the big Left thrusts has been to break down group loyalties—to religion, to country, to any form of tradition, including morality, and even to family.
Austria isn’t too different in this regard from the rest of the West.
Sounds like they got their own version of our Bambi.
The Greens are the new pro-Islam Sharia-law party in the EU
Western societies have allowed their children to become so brainwashed that national pride has become a hated virtue.
Well who hasn’t had a president who hated his own country? Seems to me, we have one now.
The Left always wins the squeakers. Must be a coincidence.
“Whoever Loves Austria Is Sh*t”
Is that why they just elected a leftist turd as their President?
Hope the Austrians enjoy their new Muslim Masters. They voted for it.
Maybe the Greens approve of Muslim invaders because of their habit of relieving themselves in the bushes rather than using that darned plumbing stuff.
And they don’t waste toilet paper.
Another Obama ( except at least he’s a citizen of the land he hates).
Edelweiss, edelweiss...bless my homeland forever.
Now I understand the sadness in Capt Von Traps heart when he left Austria.
Memo to America: The left globalist could steal election anywhere just like what happened in Austria.

Self-loathing on a national scale.....
No real proof of that.
So half of austrians want more bearded savages in their country to rape their women and chop their heads off.
Is there a word in Austrian for “Morons”?
