Geert Wilders, Dutch Neo-Nazi, Banned From Britain, Is Being Hosted In America By Republicans

Wilders and Kyl... go together like a horse and carriage

The Dutch have some pretty unpleasant memories of the Nazi occupation of their country and Geert Wilders, whose own father fled Germany to get away from the Nazis, is as close as you can get to being one in Dutch politics without getting tarred and feathered. And plenty of people would like to tar and feather him as is. A right-wing member of Parliament, he left a mainstream conservative party, the VVD, in 2004 to start a lunatic fringe party called Groep Wilders, which he later renamed the Freedom Party (PVV); he's the only member of its governing board. His platform, although overwhelmingly xenophobic, racist and islamophobic also demands tax breaks for the rich, sending troops to fight in Iraq, rights for animals and cracking down on drugs. Wilders is widely viewed in Europe as a self-promoting buffoon-- just the way Europeans looked at Hitler and Mussolini... before it was too late.

Currently he is awaiting trial in Holland for hate speech and inciting violence against immigrants. He was invited to show his Islamophobic film, Fitna by two extreme right members of Britain's archaic House of Lords, Lord Pearson of Rannoch and Baroness Cox of Queensbury. When he attempted to take them up on the invitation he was banned from the U.K. and when he landed at Heathrow he was detained and shipped back to Holland on the first plane available.

Fortunately for extreme right loons, he found a predictable sponsor for his right-wing crap here in America where he's being hosted by a like-minded kook, Arizona Senator Jon Kyl. He has also been invited to address the right-wing Republican circus this weekend in Washington, CPAC. He should fit it nicely with Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Karl Rove, Michele Bachmann and Malkin, Jim DeMint, Virginia Foxx, Mike Pence, John Boehner, Rick Santorum and other crackpots who are working towards inciting another American Civil War.
