"National Socialists" protest Jewish Film Festival on June 22

It is all too easy to forget that these old-school hate mongers exist. If it wasn't live and Memorex, one could be lulled into thinking they were a set piece from Geraldo's greatest hits, or one could stare in curious wonderment at a movement thought extinct, much like the first South African to gaze in the Cretaceous eyes of a coelacanth.

However, racist skinheads (not all skinheads are racist), "National Socialists" and the Klan are still among us, they are no joke, and must be taken very seriously to prevent their numbers from dramatically increasing when the socioeconomic or sociopolitical clime is ripe enough for people to take their message of hate to heart.

According to their unnamed website, this particular bunch of protestors call themselves "National Socialists", and are a part of the National Socialist Movement. They are, in essence, American Nazi's.

So why did they protest an annual Jewish Film Festival held at the Landmark Plaza Frontenac Cinema? Why this year? Why this day? Well apparently, just because. This letter is taken from ther website:

Hail Comrades!

As some of you may know for the past 13 years St.Louis has sponsored the Jewish film festival during the summer at the Landmark Plaza Frontenac Cinema. This is practically a week long celebration where they show a couple of independent films every day.

This year it is taking place between June 22 thru June 26.

I personally can't think of a better opportunity to show up and let these filthy swine know exactly what we think of their "culture" and the terrorist state of Israel.

I know a lot of people have to work through the week and have kids in school so we will be protesting on opening night, Sunday June, 22 2008.

This protest is open to any and all white patriots. NSM members are encouraged to wear the new black shirt street gear as we are representing our party. So, if you haven't got your shirt yet they are available at NSM Records.

HEIL HITLER! ST.Jason Bonn
