Reply #62: Nazi emigres found a home in the Republican Party.

[norml]

The emigre fascist network within the Republican Party
represents a small but significant element of the coalition which
brought Ronald Reagan into the White House. It is from this
network that the George Bush presidential campaign assembled its
ethnic outreach unit in 1988. . .a unit that saw eight
resignations by persons charged with anti-semitism, racism,
fascist leanings and even Nazi collaboration. These right-wing
emigres are a small but vocal element within the broader ethnic
communities they claim to represent. They frequently utilize
anti-communist sentiments, historical revisionism and lack of
knowledge about Eastern and Central Europe as a shield to deflect
inspection and criticism of their past actions and current views.
