08/26/2007: "German government under pressure to ban nationalist parties"

Chancellor Angela Merkel is coming under mounting pressure to ban Germany's main neo-Nazi party following a brutal attack on eight Indian traders who were chased and beaten by a mob screaming racist abuse.

A leader of the far-right National Democratic Party (NPD) was charged with inciting racial hatred yesterday after he proposed Adolf Hitler's former deputy, Rudolf Hess, for the Nobel Peace Prize. Hours after Udo Voigt made the remarks in a speech in Jena marking the 20th anniversary of Hess's death last Saturday night, the Indian men were chased through the nearby town of Mügeln.

[ This is "freedom," remember, to think what your leaders are thinking or be thrown in jail for making a suggestion otherwise. I like the governments that are realistic and don't pretend "freedom" exists, because they're not so manipulative and dishonest as our current governments. ]
