I can't make heads nor tails of your post. Are you saying there are no neo Nazis in America or what exactly? The post I was responding to- you used the number ten. While I admit that their number might not be incredibly high and indeed exaggerated by the media, there are a lot more than ten. Hell, there were probably that many in the immediate neighborhood where I grew up in Georgia. I've seen footage of some of these characters' rallies and there were certainly a lot more than a few dozen involved. And that was just one place.

They might not be the problem that the media portray them to be, but to deny that they aren't there is pretty naive. I don't think the Turner Diaries was a runaway best seller (we certainly won't be seeing it on the NYTs list anytime soon- hopefully) but it did (does) enjoy quite a little cult success. I've seen estimates of around 500,000 copies sold over the years (who knows how many downloads. That any American would read and "take wisdom" from such a work or look on it as a blueprint or battleplan is sickening. That any American would slide a Swastika armband on his sleeve, or salute Hitler or burn across is also revolting. And they're out there- I have first hand experience.

I hate the liberals, but I hate American Nazis no less. They are all enemies of freedom and all enemies of the USA.

I think the number 10 was used metaphorically, so to speak.
I believe as apparently does the poster who introduced that number above me, that the neo-Nazi threat is, has been exaggerated in order to divert attention from the actual creeping threat of Communism. As I stated above, whatever their actual number, the neo-Nazis have in their entire history achieved less in terms of influence and results than the Moonies or Lyndon LaRouche or Deepak Chopra for that matter, and I think the New Age movements, such as they, are should be of some concern to us even if they aren't overtly political. I may be wrong, but I see the neo-Nazis as harmless laughable clowns, living and acting on the very margins that can be and should be safely ignored. Because while we were watching them, the Stalinists have taken over our universities and the university towns to boot.
