Just in the interest of making sure there is an appropriate coverage on matters with a potential impact on parties represented in the EU parliament (see earlier mentioning of the Airfrance plane crash), let’s not overlook this news report then:
Man who killed guard at Holocaust museum has links to BNP
'[…]Yesterday it emerged that Von Brunn, a longtime antisemite, had attended meetings of the American Friends of the British National party (AFBNP), which was set up to raise funds from far-right activists in America.
Mark Cotterill, who ran the US-based organisation before it folded in 2001, said: ‘He did attend meetings. I have just checked my database and he is down as ‘meetings only’, so he was not a major donor, although he may have put some money on the plate when it was passed round.’
The AFBNP treasurer, Todd Blodgett, also told the Washington Post that he and Von Brunn had attended fundraising meetings in Arlington County. The BNP leader, Nick Griffin, spoke to at least two AFBNP meetings and said the money raised by the organisation made a ‘significant contribution to the BNP’s [2001] general election campaign’. […]
Just to make sure we get a variety of sources, and not just the Guardian here:
White supremacist who opened fire at U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum ‘is a supporter of the BNP’
[…]Last night, it emerged that von Brunn had attended meetings of the American Friends of the British National Party in Arlington, Virginia.
Todd Blodgett, a former Reagan White House aide, told the Washington Post he went with von Brunn to meetings of the group, which was set up to raise funds for the BNP.
He said the U.S. army veteran believed he fought for the wrong side in the Second World War.
‘Von Brunn is obsessed with Jewish people,’ said Mr Blodgett. ‘He had equal contempt for both Jews and blacks, but if he had to pick one group to wipe out, he’d always say it would be Jews.’[…]

It’s also funny how on some of the nazi-boards there’s already talk about that this has been a set up.

I read that article in the mail, thanks for bringing it into the discussion for me. Those articles clearly show the extreme desperation of the MSM to do everything they can do to smear the BNP. They are really stretching there to call attending a fundraiser “a link to the BNP”. They are trying to create a news story out of nothing.
Using their twisted logic one could say that I have links to the Spanish inquisition, because my roommate attended a Democratic party fundrasier, the party of Barack Obama, whose recent speech at Notre Dame gives him links to the Roman Catholic church which is the group responsible for the inquisition.
The MSM is desperately grasping at straws and they are destroying their credibility in the process. The Times is owned by Rupert Murdoch along with the Sun, Sky news, FOX News etc… Just a few weeks ago the Times sister publication The SUN made up a bogus story accusing the BNP of passing out literature saying the Ghurkas should be kicked out of the country which they were forced to retract and are now being sued for.
People see what is going on and are increasingly bypassing the MSM to get their information directly from the BNP. That is why their website is by far the most popular of all the political parties. That is also why there was a terrorist attack on their site two weeks ago.
Tony Bliar was Rupert Murdochs bitch and George Bush was in his pocket too. You can’t say that about the BNP. That is the real issue here. The BNP is a genuine threat to the power and control of people like Rupert Murdoch.
