Ok, in all fairness, he's not wearing "official" neo-Nazi regalia or singing the Horst-Wessel-Lied or have the other stereotypical trappings of neo-Nazis, either in Europe or in the USA. He has not identified as one.

He is identifying as "constitutional conservative" Republican.

If you seriously think this guy is NOT a neo-Nazi, speak up please. I want to hear your opinion. I am convinced he is, despite his camouflage. I feel no pity or sympathy for Ryan, but a GODDAMN NEO-NAZI ? No, just no.

1. Do you suppose Nehlan is a republican plant paving some roadway for ryan?? eom

I remember a rethug - (not too long ago) here in AZ - pulled a guy off the streets, (no offense to guys of the streets) to seek the same seat the rethug was running for - I just can't think that way..mind boggling..and now seems to be A-Okay - look at the POS in the WH....

2. it looks like he was actually an officially registered Republican

The unsuccessful former GOP challenger to U.S. Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) is giving out the contact information of his critics, singling them out for harassing calls and messages.

Paul Nehlen, who was beaten handily by Ryan in 2016 and is seeking to challenge him again this year, drew scathing attacks Tuesday by posting to Twitter a list of his critics and saying most of them are Jewish.

4. Republicans in AZ were recruiting Greens to run in swing districts

Either longtime Republican operatives or sometimes even homeless people ran as Greens, and threw several Democratic seats to the Republican candidate by splitting the left’s vote.

6. Thanks for confirming this for me - I knew I had read it - eom

3. I have heard this earlier.

Does this surprise me? No. Wi. has a fair number of these people throughout the state. I don't think their concentration in a specific area would be a threat to Ryan, but could in some local elections.

7. Aw shucks Steve...

I don't see anything most people would find all that upsetting, after all, it is just Jews he's going after. It's not like he is espousing other forms of bigotry, which, as you know, as infinitely more important than anti-Semitism.

Of course, if people are really interested in seeing how much of a bigot he is, his anti-Semitism notwithstanding, then they should head over to his Twitter page.

10. I can see why some people are a bit blase' about this fool

1- He's some idiot running against Ryan in a congressional race
2- He already lost once in 2016 and will most likely lose again
3- He's not openly labelling himself a neo-Nazi
4- He's not openly calling for the extermination of Jews

Let's look at this (not you, everyone else), shall we?

In 1918, Hitler was just some disgruntled WW1 German army veteran.
In 1924, he and his band of morons were arrested in Munich for a truly stupid plot against the German government.
Hitler railed against Jews but never once (AFAIK) openly called for concentration camps or mass genocide. He simply wanted Jewish people "dealt with" and referred to the "Jewish question".
From 1918-1933, a very large minority (if not majority) of the German people were antisemitic, so Hitler fit right in, just like this fool in Wisconsin fits right in (until he opened his mouth and proved himself a neo-Nazi)

1918-1933: Hitler and his band of goons gained power through elections, through violence in the streets, and through intimidating the KPD, SPD and other political parties.

It all starts somewhere, people. These people need to be crushed as soon as they poke their head out from under their rocks. That's the way it used to be!

Now...good god, I felt the need to devote time to this fool on DU. If you don't worry at all about neo-Nazis, good people of DU, you are not paying attention. They are the true scum of the political earth. They are the worst of any racists, bar none.

If you do your research on neo-Nazism, Hitler, Nazism and World War 2 and still yawn...I don't know what to tell you. Neo-Nazism is an ever present threat to our system, just at a low level RIGHT NOW.
