    There was a TV program where Louis Theroux went to the US and met all these neo-nazi scumbags and it was very unnerving as to how many there were. Has anyone else seen it? It was made quite a while ago but they keep repeating it.

    Yeah, i saw it on BBC2 sometime last year.

    Its annoying to see some warped, fully grown woman teaching her young daughters to be Nazis. I feel sorry for the poor, indoctrinated kids.

    Yeah, it's really incredible that the Nazis have an easier time getting support than communists. Really makes you wonder about the intelligence level of the people in the good ole USA.

    I really dont think thats a fair statement... Do u know that people are attracted to the far right than far left? Maybe its because far right ideas are more synced with current hegemony. Maybe they are easier to understand and seem more plausible in the short term....?

    for those of us who don&#39;t live where this show was shown could you give me a basic run-down of what it was about, what happened etc. Thanks all.

    It was basically Louis Theroux walking round the southern states meeting all these nazis and KKK members and stuff and basically it just gave an insight as to how many nazis there are there (which is probably meant to reflect how many there are in other places) and how racist and fascist and homophobic their views are.

    John safaran, an Australian who did a show in 2004 about religion went to the US to try and join the KKK. Although not telling them he was a jew untill later on in the interview. The guy started to get rather irritated after that.

    I remember that one Hiero. The Mormon bikers one was cool too.
    There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror... --- Mark Twain

    I really don&#39;t see a threat from neo-Nazi and other white supremacist groups. From what I&#39;ve heard militias, the Ku Klux Klan etc. have been on the decline in terms of both membership and activity.

    I&#39;m not saying they&#39;re insignifcant but Christian fundmentalists and the extreme right-wing of the Republican Party have far more power, resources and numbers.
