Extremist Groups Plan Actions to Commemorate Hitler's Birthday

New York, NY, April 7, 2005 … Extremist groups in the United States are planning events and heightened activity through the month of April, especially during the period of April 15 through April 24, at a time when they traditionally commemorate the birthday of Adolf Hitler.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which monitors the activities of white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups, has noted the plans for stepped-up activity by national groups such as the neo-Nazi National Alliance and local chapters of the Ku Klux Klan. Hitler's birthday falls on April 20, which also coincides with the Columbine shootings and other recent American tragedies. This year, April 19 marks the 10th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing.


"While we are always concerned when racist groups threaten to step up their activities, the month of April is of special concern because it not only marks Hitler's birthday, but marks the anniversaries of a number of recent American tragedies, including the Branch Davidian standoff, the Columbine school shootings and the Oklahoma City bombing," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. "The anti-government extremists and white supremacists in the past have used Hitler's birthday to make threats, and to sometimes act out violently."

3. That's weird. I never knew nor care when Hitler's birthday was.
Mpr did I care. I never believe in coincidences, so now I have toreally wonder why so many of these violent things took place in April?????

4. I am actually very free speech about almost everything.
Except for Nazis - or neo Nazi stuff. 400,000 of our kids died to stop that - I have no tolerance at all for them.

They can go to hell.
