The anti-American and anti-Israel views of Gerhard Schroder have emboldened the slumbering Nazi movement in Germany, according to the Times of London:
The popular crusade against confrontation with Iraq, which has galvanised support for the Social Democrats, has taken on an anti-American dimension, earning Herr Schr?der some unwanted support.
The latest issue of the Iraqi weekly al-Iqtisadi, said to express the views of President Saddam Hussein’s son Uday, called the Chancellor’s attitude “more honourable than that of the Arab countries”.
In addition, German neo-Nazis, including the former head of the far-Right Republican Party, Franz Sch?nhuber, are coming out in support of the Chancellor for having adopted “the German way” in defying the United States.
The re-emergence of the Nazi Movement isn’t lost on Sec’y Rumsfeld:
WARSAW, Poland (AP) Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld on Monday criticized the anti-U.S. tone of Germany’s elections, saying it had the effect of “poisoning” U.S. relations with a longtime ally.
Rumsfeld spoke from Poland, of course.
Excuse me – what anti-Israel views?!
Neither Schroder nor any part of the German government have made any anti-Israeli statements or taken any actions one could interpret this way; to my knowledge.
you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about, Richard Bennett.

Nice word choice, tho, Richard.
Hello?
How about linking to an article that is up-to-date? While the FDP had results as high as 22% (in certain areas) in surveys around april, at the elections their result was as bad as 7,5%. And that’s exactly because of the vice party leader’s anti-israeli views.
The stuff about the re-emergence of the nazi-movement in germany is total mumbo-jumbo, too, by the way.
