OK, Lepus. You often make good sense and this might be one of those times. So instead of fuckin' them back I will mock them. BUT, I hope you won't object to the occasional 'fuck you' thrown their way.

The fact is though that they are already 'legitimized'.

See this excerpt from an online website that is against BNP:

"Stop the BNP was set up to counter racism and fascism in elections and beyond. The British National Party is fielding a record 118 candidates in the general election. While it has no hope of gaining any MPs in our first-past-the-post system, the BNP is hoping for strong results in a handful of target areas. Its priority is the May 2006 local elections and it is using the general election to identify its voters in its target wards, build up its own organisation and combat low morale within the party. At Searchlight we want to make sure that people know the full story about who the BNP are and what they really stand for. And we must continue to build the fight against the BNP in its target wards right up to the May 2006 elections. After the general election Stop the BNP will continue to serve the anti-fascist movement, providing up to date news and analysis."

I understand where you and LH are coming from with this--jOhn too--however it really bugs me to let this sewer slime just coast along with their friggin' bullshit and lies. Me not starting a thread about them will not alter the fact that THEY start threads about themselves. But, in the interest of internal peace I will ease up just a bit. We'll see where THAT goes.
