Germany Still Intolerant

We read:

"Germany's far right political party, the National Democratic Party (NPD), says even the most avid promoters of tolerance in Germany are intolerant of NPD views.

Right wingers complain in anonymous Web chat rooms that German laws banning certain Nazi phrases and symbols stifle their freedom of speech. Some NPD opponents acknowledge an element of truth to those complaints but few would call members of the NPD victims.

The truth that may not be mentioned is that the NPD is an anti-capitalist, pro-socialist party. Calling them Right wingers is a joke. They are just old Leftists. Prewar Leftists were also both socialist and nationalists. Even JFK was a holdover from prewar times when he said: "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country." The Pelosi/Reid Leftists of today would never say anything like that.
