White power recruiting increases: Billboard battle sparks interest
March 7, 2006

Two white supremacist groups have stepped up recruitment efforts in Nevada, starting chapters in the wake of the National Alliance's high-profile battle over an anti-immigration billboard last year.

Cynthia Luria, the regional director of the Anti-Defamation League, said the emergence of the pro-Nazi National Socialist Movement and a group called the Southern Nevada Skinheads is tied to the popularity of the National Alliance.

"That billboard has become an icon in the white power movement," said Luria, who added that the Las Vegas Valley's reputation as a "tolerant" area is inviting to white power groups.

Until recently, the only organized white separatist group in Southern Nevada was the National Alliance, according to Metro Police.

The Southern Nevada Skinheads, which formed last fall, has organized a few events in Las Vegas, including passing out fliers on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, according to the group's Web site.

1. Yeah, we know how
white male supremacist groups are discriminated against, and have absolutely no power in politics, don't we? I mean, the obstacles they face in everyday life is astounding, isn't it? When, oh when, will they be able to claim some measure of equality? :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

2. Can they be proud of something else beside their melanin count?

3. How 'nice' to see the Nazi's emboldened with
the current 'atmosphere' (SARCASM).

I am just surprised we haven't seen more of this.

Although, of course, no neocon will acknowledge anything
but deep offense if likened to the Nazi ethos. (to quote
Big Lebowski)...they are deeply offended.

But it does seem that if you strip off the brownshirts
and the flagrant racism that the Nazis reveled in, there
is not much difference. In fact, that is the one thing
that scares me the most.

Recently been reading David Irving's "Hitler's War"
and some of the parallels to the present day are chilling.
