Subject: RE: BS: So why has the BNP gained votes?
And back to the central theme.

The description of the BNP as knuckle-dragging Neanderthals may well be unfair to Neanderthals, but is in no way similar to the depictions (usually by nazis like the BNP) of Blacks, Jews, or (parhaps by extension the Irish - or, curiously, in German-speaking cultures Friesians (not the cows)) as biologically inferior. One's nationality or regionality (by descent) or race are not matters of choice. One's politics are.

Is there any other political party whose supporters make it a prevalent practice to impersonate and (by implication and sometimes expression) to threaten opponents? Do tell, oh supporters of white racial superiority.
