Twin pop stars with angelic looks are new face of racism
:puke:

America's white supremacist movement has an angelic new face: twin teenage pop stars whose songs preach messages of racial hatred. Prussian Blue, a "white power" band now recording its second album, is described as a sinister version of the Olsen Twins, the squeaky clean child actresses of the 1990s. It is attracting more and more fans among young white nationalists.

Lamb and Lynx Gaede, blonde, blue-eyed 13-year-olds from Bakersfield, California, have been entertaining all-white crowds with their music since the age of nine. Lamb plays the guitar and Lynx the violin.

Their songs have titles such as Sacrifice, a tribute to Hitler's deputy, Rudolf Hess, that praises him as a "man of peace who wouldn't give up". Performing for such groups as the neo-Nazi National Alliance at Holocaust-denial events and festivals entitled Folk the System, the girls execute Sieg Heil salutes while belting out lyrics such as "Strike force! White survival. Strike force! Yeah."

The twins' act was recently withdrawn from the Kern County fair because of "security concerns". Their mother, April, 38, a former member of the National Alliance, told the Bakersfield Californian that her daughters were upset. They "simply want to perform their songs: songs about Vikings and German history", she said.

1. Does anyone else think it's strange...
...that we've got three separate threads on these Hitler Youths going on right now?

3. This story does seem to be in the UK press a bit
I would certainly agree that it's not worthy of LBN but for some reason it does seem to be getting a lot of attention.

4. I've counted more than that over the past few days
Really folks, how many more threads about the Nazi twins do we need?

7. this is the first time I've heard of it
Not everyone sees every thread. And I think its important for folks to know that there are things like this going on.

6. Yet the Right ignores these people
and instead makes Cindy Sheehan out to be unpatriotic.
