    no shit. bit late though, since the fash were on the show a week prior. all they did was attack a t.v presenter with egg and yogurt lol. pretty weak.
    Everywhere it is the police who do the whipping and the one in rags who gets whipped. And then the people who sit smugly at their well-laden tables are surprised when someone rocks the table, overturns it, and shatters everything to fragments.

    Why would you interview a Neo-Nazi? What exactly are you going to gain from some deluded moron? Unless you're trying to work out how these people "think", I don't think any such interview would be of any use.

    Workers are quite capable of making up their own minds, socialists duty is to put the case for socialism to other workers not to act as wannabe censors. Some of the incitements to violence here are disgusting and probably endanger revleft.

    Getting an egg thrown at you that doesn't break really hurts though.
    But a molotov would probably have been more fun to watch.
    Is this resistance or a costume party?
    Either way I think black with bandanas is a boring theme.

    Exactly! The guy deserved what he got because he was so desperate to get popular that he stooped to one of the lowest levels of sensationalism to get ratings. Daring my arse, Anyone could do that.

    Also would like to point out that while in a free and open society anyone can have a voice and an opinion, they must also take on board that people ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT to protest too. This is something the far-right and even most capitalist supporters are lost on. The amount of comments on youtube who condemn the attack and basically defend the presenter for giving a nazi sympathizer airtime, is rather beneath human dignity.

    Frankly I would love to see the same happen to Bill O'Rilly and Glenn Beck.

    well obviously we should try to not get the site shut down but i don't see anything here that would do that. but whether or not nazis should be attacked isn't something that rests on if your reason will hold up in court
