This writer is lumping together a few odd balls--for scare effect--with perfectly legitimate conservative movements. The motives of anyone who uses these techniques are, to say the least, highly suspect. He obviously does not want a real debate on the ethnic future of any land, but would rather scare off any reasoned inquiry by resurrecting old stereotypes.
As I wrote following the smear tactics used agains Le Pen and others, two years ago:
The Big Truth.
For more on where the real Nazis--not fools in costume--actually stood in the political spectrum, see The Lies Of Socialism.
The milk toast "Conservatives," who let themselves be intimidated into not defending the continuity of their respective nations, deserve the future they are acquiesing in. But the rest of us do not deserve to be dragged there with them. It is long past time that we stopped listening to those who are afraid to address the real issues.

I think the same applies to the Freedom Party in Austria. Yes, Haider made some very thoughtless comments about Hitler but the actual PLATFORM of the Freedom Party was something almost libertarian, for Europe, but proposed restrictions on immigration.
How terrible!
Then look at how the other European countries treated Austria after the Freedom Party's victory. Seemed a bit bizarre, considering that he was ELECTED and that he was not proposing any kind of "Final Solution" or anything other than restricting immigration.
