Neo-Nazis Aim to Upgrade PR (White supremacist)

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-adna-supremacists13feb13,0,6585056.story?coll=la-home-headlines


White supremacist groups around the country are moving aggressively to recruit new members by promoting their violent, racist ideologies on billboards, in radio commercials and in leaflets tossed on suburban driveways.

-snip-

Watchdog groups fear increased violence from these organizations as they grow. But perhaps an even greater fear is that the new public relations strategy will let neo-Nazis recast themselves as just another voice on the political spectrum — even when that voice may be advocating genocide.

-snip-

The National Alliance, which calls for ridding the land of minorities, has led the drive to raise the profile of white supremacists.

The local chapter spent $1,500 on MetroLink ads here in St. Louis last month, plastering nearly every commuter train car in the city with a blue-and-white placard declaring "The Future belongs to us!" and listing the group's website and phone number. The same chapter bought airtime on local talk radio last fall, urging whites to unite and fight for the survival of "white America."

"We want to use mainstream advertising to say to the public: We're not a shadowy group. This is what we believe in, and we're proud of it," said chapter leader Aaron Collins. "We're trying to give people courage. We want to show them, if you stand up for what you believe in, you're not going to be crucified."

3. Make no mistake
The National Alliance is a neo-Nazi group with PR that puts our own to shame. Check out their website and daily National Vanguard site. Naturally, as a Wolper, I despise everything they say; but damn, they say it frighteningly well. Europe is listening closely to the far right, it is only a matter of time before it happens here. And no, I don't mean Bush-like "far right"...I mean the real deal.
