It's funny how all of a sudden they want to hang with Muslims.

None of it makes sense to me. But I hope there is a lot of resistence

bloviation about that, it's put out there for the shock value, that is all. I seriously doubt they will have anyone who is actually a member of hamas there.

There is quite a bit of resistance and most of the town is donig what they can to counter them.

They stand to gain nothing but an early death. They cannot be allowed to threaten any community of color, religion or sexual preference.

With all that open land you'd think they'd be spread out a little more. Must all live in apartment complexes?

16. I was living near Skokie IL in 1977 when the Nazis were planning a march.

Skokie was a largely Jewish community. The residents revolted, the Nazi’s were denied a permit and the march was cancelled. However, what I remember most clearly is that the “word on the street” was… if the march proceeded, the marchers would be taking their lives into their own hands, that there would be minimal police presence and that a few Nazi heads might get blown off by snipers. Interesting that there was a massive Mafia presence in the Chicago area at the time.

a lot of protest from locals in western MT who are every bit as outraged as any normal human being would be.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/montana-responds-to-proposed-neo-nazi-march_us_586be90ce4b0d9a5945ca931

After hearing reports about the proposed rally, the Montana Human Rights Network teamed up with the Justus & Karin Rosenberg Foundation, a Jewish organization, to issue a challenge to deter the march.

The Foundation is encouraging people to make a donation to the MHRN for every minute of the rally. The funds for the project will go towards purposes that the neo-Nazis detest, such as increased security for Jews and Jewish institutions, trainings for community members on how to de-escalate and intervene in hate incidents, and educational events about the dangers of white supremacy and racism.

The JKR Foundation made an initial pledge of $10 for every minute of the march, up to $2,500.
...
MHRN co-director Rachel Carroll Rivas told The Huffington Post that they’ve received pledges from hundreds of people in the last few hours, from the Jewish community in Montana, and local and national allies.

“Hopefully having folks pledge per minute the racists march, deters them from doing so,” Carroll Rivas told HuffPost. “Maybe we raise no money, and that’s the best thing, or we do raise the funds. Either way, we’ll take those funds and put them towards things white supremacists hate.”

Montana’s Democratic and Republican lawmakers spoke out against the proposed rally in an open letter, warning that those who seek to publicize anti-Semitic views” shall find “no safe haven” in Montana.

why is this post in the 2016 Postmorten Forum?

I haven't alerted and won't alert for that reason. But what is the justification?
