White Supremacists Plan 'Family Friendly' Events In Honor Of Hitler's Birthday
http://www.adl.org/PresRele/Extremism_72/5499_72.htm

New York, NY, April 6, 2009 … A series of so-called "family friendly" gatherings are being planned by white supremacists and neo-Nazis to commemorate the anniversary of Adolf Hitler's birth on April 20th, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which monitors hate groups in the United States.

Hate groups typically use Hitler's birthday as an occasion to rally around his anti-Semitic and racist vision of a world dominated by the "Aryan race." This year, they are encouraging members to bring their friends, families, and even children to meetings in several states where they will celebrate the achievements of Hitler, who one group describes as "one of the greatest heroes of the White Race."

"The Hitler celebrations are a cynical and perverted way for hate groups to organize, to unify, to spread their hate-filled message and to recruit," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. "That they are doing it this year under the rubric of providing a 'family friendly' environment shows the lengths they will go to reach out to the unaffiliated and attempt to pass on their hateful ideology to future generations."

Hitler birthday celebrations are scheduled to take place in Florida, Missouri, North Carolina and at another undisclosed location, according to extremist sites and discussion groups monitored by ADL. As in the past, some hate groups are encouraging their loyalists to distribute racist leaflets in the run-up to Hitler's birthday, which this year falls on the day before Holocaust Memorial Day. Leaflet distributions may take place in Ohio, Oregon, Missouri and elsewhere around the country throughout the month of April.

6. Are they going to have Prussian Blue play?
Cutest little teenage Nazis you ever saw... :sarcasm:

From their Wiki ($%*#!! DU software gags on parens in links):

Prussian Blue is a controversial white nationalist pop teen duo formed in early 2003 by Lynx Vaughan Gaede and Lamb Lennon Gaede, fraternal twin girls born on June 30, 1992 in Bakersfield, California....

Lynx and Lamb Gaede first performed together by singing at a white nationalist festival called "Eurofest" in 2001. They began learning how to play instruments in 2002 (Lamb plays the guitar and Lynx plays the violin). In the same year they appeared on a VH1 special called Inside Hate Rock. In 2003, they were featured in a Louis Theroux BBC documentary, entitled Louis and the Nazis, on racism and white supremacy in the United States. Lamb, Lynx, and their mother April also appeared in the low-budget 2003 horror film called Dark Walker....

The duo moved with their mother (April Gaede), their stepfather (Mark Harrington) and their younger half-sister, Dresden from Bakersfield, California to Kalispell, Montana in 2006 because, in their mother's words, Bakersfield was "not white enough." Some of their new neighbors did not welcome them; many city residents passed out fliers warning of the duo's views, and signs proclaiming "No Hate Here" appeared on a few windows around the town. Some of the people who passed out flyers received threatening letters from members of out-of-state white supremacist organizations. The Montana Human Rights Network planned a rally in Kalispell to protest the family's white nationalist views....

According to ABC News, the girls were homeschooled by their mother, April Gaede, an activist and writer for the white nationalist organization National Vanguard. The twins' maternal grandfather, who lives in Squaw Valley, California, wears a swastika belt buckle, uses the Nazi symbol on his truck, and registered it as a cattle brand. During their ABC interview, the twins said they believe Adolf Hitler was a great man with good ideas and they described the Holocaust as being exaggerated. They have also been criticized for stipulating that goods they donated to Hurricane Katrina victims should go only to white people; "After a day of trying, the supplies ended up with few takers, dumped at a local shop that sells Confederate memorabilia."

7. Hitler certainly wasn't family friendly towards the Jews
the way he seperated them and put them in concentration camps (the kids too) and eventually killed millions of them. Nice friendly guy that Adolph.
