No End of Fascist Cockroaches and Their Allies.

Filed under: Uncategorized — modernityblog @ 9:01 pm

Rather predictably Toben’s arrest has galvanised his supporters, from the Aryan Nation, Ku Klux Klan, the BNP and the well known Michael Santomauro and a few angst ridden liberals.

I hadn’t really wanted to comment much more on this matter as I think it is all been said before, halfway sensible people should not assist, aid or feel obliged to help neo-Nazis, fascists and others that would, as in all probability, gladly kill them if they were in power.

But Michael Santomauro’s comment annoyed me and Santomauro has a lot of form.

Adam Holland discusses Michael Santomauro and David Irving:

“First Eva Balogh’s facts, then the deluge of hate. Michael Santomauro (founder of a New York website designed to find people roommates) one of the city’s most vocal anti-Semites (view his websites here and here) and also a Ron Paul supporter (read here), quickly submitted a comment defending Faurisson and Holocaust denial. Santomauro was followed in short order by Danish Holocaust denial blogger Balder (also an apparent Ron Paul supporter, his website features a portrait of Paul as its banner). (View Balder’s websites here and here.) After this, a multitude of others voicing overt hatred of the sort that all too often occurs under cover of screen name. (I know I’ll hear from people asking “why bother covering bigotted comments?” I understand that hate-filled blog comments are commonplace, but, in this instance, two of the commenters are bloggers, and the content and context of their comments seem notable. I also felt bad for the recipient of these comments, having received similar comments here.)”

Santomauro’s escapade on Amazon:

“The Internet has been a boon for Holocaust revisionists, who have found few other mainstream outlets for their ideas and products. Earlier this year, Santomauro began selling “The Riddle of the Jew’s Success” on the Amazon marketplace, which serves as a middle man between Internet buyers and sellers. The book, which was written by Theodor Fritsch, was first published in 1887 and became one of Hitler’s favorites. In an e-mail to supporters, Santomauro wrote that the book explained how “Judaism is a conspiracy against non-Jews. Its aim is to fulfill the covenant and gain dominion over mankind by controlling wealth.

Santomauro reprinted 1,000 copies of a translation of Fritsch’s book, and by September he had sold more than 100 of them. Taylor came across the book as part of her work with the AJCongress, where she said she is “in charge of monitoring antisemitism and anti-Americanism on high school and college campuses.”

Santomauro is a big fan of Ahmadinejad, as he states: “Ahmadinejad’s Holocaust Problems are My Holocaust Problems”. [No more links, this filth is making my guts turn over.]

What great company some liberals are keeping? What was that funny north American expression? Like Turkeys voting for Thanks Giving? Lenin called them “useful idiots”, say no more.

I’ll leave you with one of my favourite sites Holocaust Controversies, the antifascist, anti-Holocaust Denial site. Those Denier Vintages in Full is an informative overview.
