Why are Neo-Nazis Helping Chuck Schumer?

NAZI-WATCHING is an endlessly fascinating and instructive pastime. You never know what side neo-Nazis are going to take on any issue. One moment, they are mocking Arabs as dirty subhumans. The next, they are weeping crocodile tears over the plight of the poor, downtrodden Palestinians. For sheer movement and dynamism, watching the twists, turns, ups and downs of the various neo-Nazi party lines can be as challenging and invigorating as trying to follow the ball through a fast-paced N.B.A. game.

Here’s the latest. Ever since I suggested last week that Senator Chuck Schumer might be engaged in a plot to obstruct vote reform, the would-be stormtroopers at VanguardNewsNetwork.com (VNN) have been squealing like stuck pigs. You’d think I had accused them, rather than Schumer.

Now I realize that politics makes strange bedfellows. But what common interests could possibly exist between a neo-Nazi Web site whose motto is, "No Jews. Just Right," and a leftwing Jewish senator such as Chuck Schumer?

Here are the facts. Last week, I reported that Democrats, Muslims, and hard-Left extremists had formed an alliance – the Coalition Against Hate Radio – to silence San Francisco talk-show host Michael Savage.

The group claimed it was outraged by Savage’s insensitive remarks about illegal aliens and Arab terrorists. But Phil Brennan of NewsMax.com suggested a more sinister motive behind the campaign.

In a March 8 article in NewsMax entitled, "Dems Promote Voter Fraud," Mike Savage had excoriated Democratic Senators Chuck Schumer of New York and Ron Wyden of Oregon for blocking a bill that would require photo IDs for voters.

Savage quoted Wyden saying that photo IDs "could effectively straitjacket voters."

Straitjacket voters from doing what? The ID system would only obstruct illegal or unregistered voters. Ah, but perhaps that’s the point.

As noted in last week’s article, photo IDs for voters have proved extremely effective in cleaning up Mexico’s corrupt voting system.

Prior to the 2000 election, Mexico instituted a new system requiring voters to obtain an ID card, complete with photo, signature and fingerprint. The result? Possibly the first honest election since the Mexican Revolution.

After 71 years of leftwing, one-party dictatorship, the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) was thrown out and President Vicente Fox of the more conservative National Action Party (PAN) was voted in.

What would happen, I wonder, to impregnable Democrat strongholds such as Chuck Schumer’s New York State, if we could somehow manage to hold a few honest elections around here, for a change? One can only speculate.

It’s not hard to figure out why Senators Schumer and Wyden might wish to nip this sort of speculation in the bud. Hence the Michael Savage boycott. But what’s in it for the Nazis?

Ever since my article appeared, the stormtroopers at VNN have been bobbing, weaving, ducking, dodging and blowing smoke like a pack of Clinton spinmeisters circa 1999. Many of their rhetorical tactics seem to have been lifted straight from Lanny Davis, James Carville and Paul Begala.

I must have touched a very sensitive nerve.

First, VNN tried the old "who cares?" routine. Under the headline, "Jews: We Don’t Care," VNN sputtered, "The alarm bells shrill! New threat to Jews! … Here, Jew "Poe" (Pogrebissky) defends Jew `Savage’ (Weiner)… Only 14 million Jews in the whole world, yet Jewish concerns are made to occupy our every waking moment."

Okay, so the Nazis don’t care. Fine. Why, then, did they follow up with a second – and far more hysterical – rebuttal to my article, shortly thereafter?

"Jews get up in the morning and tell lies the way some people do jumping jacks…" fumed the anonymous editorialist, who may or may not be VNN editor Alex Linder. "…This is all a bunch of Jewish lies and confusion… just more jewish [sic] flim-flam."

Space does not permit me to unravel the labyrinthine intricacies of the alleged Jewish deception in which VNN found me complicit. Suffice it to say that VNN managed to kick up such a duststorm of spleen, indignation and raw emotion, that it succeeded in completely obscuring the point of my article – which was, in fact, the suggestion that Chuck Schumer and other Democrats might be persecuting Mike Savage in order to silence him on voter fraud.

Why VNN would be spinning for Chuck Schumer is beyond me. But they are doing an excellent job. If they have not already billed the senator for their services, I recommend that they do so posthaste.

After all, as a famous Jew once put it: "The worker deserves his wages."

The map from the NY Senate race looked just like the Bush/Gore map. A few spots for Hillary, but somehow she took the whole state.
These few places either have Democrats stuck together like sewer rats, or they managed to find twice their number in fictisious voters. Dogs, dead people, illegals, mulitible ballots, broken Lazio switches, NJ terrorists who gave her money..........Voter ID would have lost her the election.
NY is heavily burdened by taxation. Many businesses and those who've earned their wealth are leaving the state. The moral are leaving in droves.
Exorcisms in NYC are on the rise 10 fold, and the Holy men can't keep up.
(No wonder the Clintons chose NYC)
