FOX - They’re not even bothering to speak in code any more — they’re just outright lying.

It took 3 TRIES for the Fox News affiliate to get it right: At 4:28 they deleted the story, at 4:43 they re-titled it “White Rights Group Patrolling Sanford” (White Rights!), then at 5:23 they re-re-titled it “Neo-Nazi Group Patrolling Sanford.”





Does anyone down there at FOX35 know how to use “the Google?” The National Socialist Movement is designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

NSM ideology mirrors that of the original American Nazi Party. The group openly idolizes Adolf Hitler, described in NSM propaganda as, “Our Fuhrer, the beloved Holy Father of our age … a visionary in every respect.” NSM says only heterosexual “pure-blood whites” should be allowed U.S. citizenship and that all nonwhites should be deported, regardless of legal status. As Schoep put it: “The Constitution was written by white men alone. Therefore, it was intended for whites alone.”




UPDATE (6:45 PM ET): I guess someone editing the MyFox site got wind of the Twitter-sh*tstorm over this and tried to paper over it, still not pointing out it’s a neo-Nazi hate group. That’s journalism, for you.

many people use their host files as sort of adblocker/porn blocker/blocking known malicious sites.

when you try to go to an address on the internet if it is in your host files it will resolve to your local machine ip.
http://www.accs-net.com/hosts/what_is_hosts.html

and here is an app that makes it super easy and they have a host file with all the ads already in it.
it is freeware and you will probably never need an adblocker if you use it.

if you need some help or want to know more you can message me..i dont want to hi-jack someones thread

"Members of the Detroit-based National Socialist movement have pledged to descend on Sanford to protect “the white citizens in the area” if there are race riots in the aftermath of the killing that has gripped the nation.

“It’s a virtual tinder box right now,” the group’s leader, Jeff Schoep, told the Daily News. “It's explosive. It’s on the verge of violence. We need to make sure our white citizens aren't left defenseless.”

Schoep claimed that up to 20 well-armed members are already in position in Sanford.

Sanford police officials said Saturday they have not spotted any neo-Nazis but have coordinated with the feds to be ready in case violence erupts."

Now there's a reliable, credible source.

I thought all the Obama haters were saying he was a socialist and moving the country to a socialist regime....I don't get it. Should it be one or the other and not both....he being black and they being white??

That was just the name they chose for their racist, fascist, anti-semitic organization. And true marxist/socialist types were among the first folks they killed, even before the Jews.

And Obama is no more socialist than I am. In fact he's probably far less that way than me, as I lean lefter and lefter the older I get.

I must have woken up in the Twilight Zone.

I'd go back to sleep, but I really don't want to know what I would dream next. Maybe zombie unicorns will be roaming the streets impaling people and farting clouds of noxious gas.

I could understand why Nazis might confuse conservatives now. I mean Obama is supposed to be the Nazi/socialist, but the difference between Neo-Nazis and "mainline" conservatives is becoming just a matter of terms.

I could imagine if a bunch of militia members were patrolling to make sure there were no race riots Fox wouldn't have to stutter, even though they all might have neo-Nazi ties.

"the difference between Neo-Nazis and "mainline" conservatives is becoming just a matter of terms."

It has never been just a matter of terms, just a function of which company you can say the n-word in and company in which you can't use the n-word.

I'm white, and middle aged living in the South. Racism here is a fist covered in a velvet glove, and always has been.

They have repeatedly called for the murder of Americans such as abortion clinic workers. Bill O'Reilly is guilty of that crime. The terrorists on Faux aren't allowed into several foreign countries because of the hate speech they broadcast, it's too bad America doesn't have any similar "laws".
