It's been a while since I last created a topic discussion in the political section, but however I came across this interesting piece of news. John Bowles a member of the American national socialist movement has recently registered to become a lobbyist in Washington. Although this hasn't really sparked any debate, it's come off however a little controversial.

Indeed, a little controversial, seeing as this guy is a member of the national socialist movement. Some congressman will take him with delight, perhaps get into details over certain issues, many may detest this. There's not much else to say really. I decided to post this up and see what you guys think about this man being recently registered as a lobbyist in Washington D.C.

American Nazi party is surely emphasizing something new for a change, instead of going out in rallies all across the country and picking a fight with a few minor groups, freely expressing their views violently.

Lobbying means they gather congressmen for there cause either through donation or intense rhetoric, they need money either they are backed by the oil indutry or they won't get anyone behind them.

My opinion is the U.S. government should banned this party and any other parties that has prior history of hate and violence.

I'm pretty sure that's everyone.

To the gas chambers with these hating bastards.

I doubt anyone would be caught dead supporting this guy. I'm not entirely sure what a Nazi lobbyist could hope to actually accomplish, given that his association with a Congressman immediately harms that Congressman's reputation and ability to impact policy. I suppose they could have him go around supporting all of their opponents.

Exactly. It would be political suicide for anyone one a national even a state level to openly back a Nazi lobbyist.

Can't. It would be illegal under the Constitution.

Hitler was misunderstood not too many people know his last words

" I said glass of juice you moron! Not gas the jews! "

Gotta get on the board sometime...

Who in the world will listen to a Modern-Day Nazi?

So should we ban the communist party as well? Ever heard of the constitution or freedom of speech? In fact mayby you should be silenced as well for your intolerance of the intolerant.

According to Vulcan we probably should ban the communist party. FascistPat said what I was thinking to a degree though, we shouldn't start banning ideologies that we don't like and limiting free speech.

really, I can state my opinion, I am sorry but yes banning the communist party is necessary too, because both party show prior hate and violence. Sometimes the safety of the nation is more important than our freedom of speech. Ex: "The Smith Act of 1940"

Sometimes it is necessary .

You know that the current parties in control of America have shown hate and violence as well right? If we're going to ban the communist, socialist, or even the national socialist parties based on a history of hatred and violence then we have to ban just about every political party. What about the genocide of the Native Americans? The Civil War? What about our history of attacking places to further our own goals, at the expense of those who live there and the lives of the soldiers we threw at them? What about nuking and firebombing Japan during WW2? Most political parties are not innocent and have had dirty pasts.

Why? Should we ban environmentalism too because of the terrorist actions committed in it's name? What about Christianity and Islam? Both have been used to promote hate and violence. The reality of what your saying is we should ban anyone who disagrees with you. "supporting hate and violence". How vague can you be? Virtually any ideology has examples of it being used for hate and violence. It dosn't mean they should be outlawed.

Well I agree with you.. politics just brings bad blood to everyone, no party is innocent, but look I am trying to say that some politcal parties just can't exist...

Some have to be outlawed........

Then we let the people decide which parties they don't want to rule.

Why do they have to be outlawed? The standard you put forth was any political party which promotes hate and violence can;t be allowed to exist. I'm pointing out that by that logic no party should be allowed to exist. What party do you support if you dont mind me asking?

No one is voting for them anyway, Why ban them?

No, that wouldn't technically be fair, wouldn't it. Regarding freedom of expression, anyone or any party shares that given ability and are rightfully allowed to speak their mind on certain issues. I'm strongly opposed to violent expression, forcing your beliefs and opinions through a violent, aggressive way, with that, I'm completely opposed to.

The CPUSA isn't that officially outlawed or something? technically banned from not doing anything simply because its against the current establishment. Pretty rash if I may say so. Fascist parties/movements are intolerant, like yourself, and are anti-Democratic in nature, not to mention its hateful, anti approach towards socialism, liberalism and freemasonry. Don't worry, fascist, I've read that splendid work by that neo-Hegelian idealist fellow that goes by the name of Giovanni Gentile.
