An interview with one of Germany's most notorious neo-Nazis has landed Vanity Fair magazine in a heap of trouble.

Arno Lustiger, a Jewish historian and Holocaust survivor, has started proceedings to sue the magazine's German edition for publishing an interview with Horst Mahler, the former left-wing extremist who transformed into one of Germany's most rabid neo-Nazi public figures. The interview appeared in the Nov. 1 print and online editions.

Who publishes Vanity Fair?
There's always the chance that it's all just
a big publicity stunt...sounds like good
bird-cage liner to me...

These groups are 'little people' trying to feel like 'big people'. "Pinky & the Brain " mentality.
Their ideology is flawed, bunk,
De- evolutionary.
They're the kid that continually yells "look at me!!", when you finally do, the pain in the ass is picking his nose and eating it. Shut up, go away and let the adults talk.
Neo Nazi's, Neo Cons, Religious fanatics, profiteers, war mongers and meglomaniacs, stepping on the heads of others to make yourself big has not worked. We'd like to try another approach to solving the worlds problems. Our problems require a fully participating TEAM effort. Your methods have proven to be counterproductive and deadly.
But feel free to speak - just realize the collective goes "UGH' when you do. First Human Right 'To make an Ass of yourself in public'

Here is a little more on Friedman, the guy who actually did the interview with Mahler. Surprisingly, the American media never picked the story up..

Here is the odd thing: The interview has been conducted by someone who is Jewish, Michel Friedman. The magazine it appeared in is owned by someone who is Jewish, SI Newhouse.

But Lustiger thinks this is the fault of the Germans?

I would much rather hear what idiots like this have to say than speculate on what they think. That's one of the cool things about free speech.

Of course, some things, according to some, should never be uttered. Who decides? Let's all decide...one by one, we will each decide. Of course, we'd all have to hear.

I'm not going to ever let someone else decide what I should hear or not. Or for that matter, say.

I may disagree with what you have to say, but i will defend with my life your right to say it--Voltaire

Anyone who would deny the occurrence of the holocaust is an idiot, a fool, a bit, a tyrant. However, even idiots, fools, bigots, and tyrants should be allowed to speak their minds without fear of reprisals. A free society, the rule of law , and human rights weren't created to serve only in times of peace or when attitudes and thoughts are genial. ITs meant to cover the universal human experience.

the holocause happened anywhere around 67years and later . The german governemt gave Trillions to the state of Israel, helped the Jews to live in Germany in all the comfort you can think of, besides the contribution the state of Israel got from the world. It's never enough by Jews. They keep beating the horse for the rest of time . No one ever says , hey it's enough. Enough is enough. You sucked everybody out, and we send our soldiers to fight for your freedom so you can keep warmongering with Palistine and treat the Palestininzer like chit. What more do you want?
Sooner or later all crimes do come to an end. Besides Germany made a law , that no one can publicly deny the holocaust which can a person put in jail. Germany also build a huge Jewish museum for the public to view over and over the suffering of the jewish people and to the 3rd reich undesirable germans and other foreigners. Germany also kept all camps alive and keeps them up better than we ever keep Ellis Island up. It's time to put it to rest. Quit making millions out of the deceased and let them rest now. After all it's time atrocities toward the germans during WWII by the Allies are being addressed.

This is an important story.

Neos are all over Europe.

I encountered some when I lived in Munich
30 years ago and there are more now.

Germany is facing major problems
and fear of the future will render
the far right acceptable to more and more
people over time.

Just like the Hitler time.

And history will repeat itself.

Remember your basic Freud.

German shame will lead to anger. Again.

Anti-Semetism will increase.

Because Germans will grow to hate the origin
of their shame.

And they will react.

ok so here is a NON-STORY, irrelevent to us, except to the zionists, who dilute American values with their divided loyalties.
...Print something about how we're still unhappy with the world and we might turn out the vote. thanx

How ridiculous is this? A law suit over an interview with someone most Germans probably think is an idiot anyway.... Guess it just goes to show the Germans learned something from the Americans after all - how to be a litigous society. Makes some of the goofy lawsuits here look sensible.

I think that stuff comes from a desire to
belong to something. Nationalism, gangs,
religions, people join stuff so they won't feel
alone.

The funniest part(saddest?) is that if you
look at the Wiki link, there, it shows
neos in Israel. I've met a couple skinheads
here and there, including ones that were not
caucasian, it's all pretty stupid, WWII is
over, it's been over for decades, it's time for
people to find other hobbies...but you can't
pass a law, either, that will force people to
like each other. It all boils down to 'might
makes right', though. If only they could pour
all that mental energy into devising 21st
century ag methods...6.6 billion people gotta
eat...
