Feel the Hate. German Blog Attacks Barack Obama

One of the more popular right-wing blogs in Germany is Politically Incorrect with about 25,000 daily visitors.  It has the image of the American flag as part of its banner, and it proudly proclaims that it is "pro-amerikanisch" - pro-American.  But if an American happens to be black with the name Barack Obama then the blog and its numerous commenters become very hostile indeed.  In fact, "PI" -as it is commonly called - has become a forum for anti-Obama hate in Germany.  Here we can read the misinformation about Senator Obama and his campaign in German that we find on racist blogs in the US such as Michelle Malkin and LittleGreenFootballs. In a typical PI post we learn that "Obama verachtet Amerika, er hat seinen Anti-Amerikanismus mit der Muttermilch aufgesogen." (Obama hates America, he suckled anti-Americanism at his mother's breast). It goes without saying that PI tells its readers that Obama is Muslim, who grew up in a mosque, and whose secret agenda is the Islamicization of America. Here is a typical comment on the blog (Senator Obama is usually identified as "Hussein"):

    Na vielleicht wird sie täglich stolzer, wenn ihr Hussein die Islamisierung der USA vorantreibt, wenn er bald dem iranischen Mullahhitlerrregime in den Hintern kriecht, sich die USA aus den Terrorstatten verkriechen, auf dass dort die Koranschulen sprießen, wenn ihr Mann das bekannte Kenedy-Zitat in “Isch bin ein Mohammedaner” umgewandelt hat und Zuwanderung aus der bildungsfernen Unterschicht gepaart mit alten kommunistischen Ideen dem Land seine Identität rauben. (Maybe she (Michelle Obama) will be so proud when Hussein advances the Islamicization of the US, as he sucks up to the Hitler-Mullahs in Iran and takes the US out of the places that breed terror so that Koran schools can flourish, after her husband has changed the famous Kennedy quote to "Ich bin ein Mohammdeaner"and destroyed his country's identity by permitting the immigration of an uneducated underclass while implementing communism.)

Each day brings more hate-filled gems such as this. Incidentally, the blog and its numerous fans often call Obama and Muslims in general  "Musel" or "Muselmänner" - an extremely derogatory term for Muslims, also used by the Nazis to mock the emaciated condition of prisoners in concentration camps.

A Green Party member of the Bundestag, Fritz Kuhn,  recently responded to a question concerning PI by the blogger Dietmar Naeher (whose blog Politisch Korrekt I recommend):

    vor dem Internet-Weblog "Politically Incorrect" kann aus meiner Sicht nur gewarnt werden, dieser Blog behauptet, proisraelisch und proamerikanisch zu sein und lehnt doch mit jedem neuen Beitrag genau die Werte ab, für die diese pluralistischen Demokratien stehen. Behauptet wird, angeblich unterdrückte Nachrichten über die Islamisierung Europas zu verbreiten, in Wahrheit wird Hass gegen alle Moslems geschürt. Dem Islam und allen Moslems wird unterstellt, nichts als Hass und Intoleranz zu verkörpern, dabei ist es dieser Blog, der nur aus Hass und Rassismus besteht und das perverserweise als Kampf gegen Intoleranz ausgibt. Der Blog versucht nichts anderes, als den Islam und die Muslime im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes zu verteufeln. (I can only issue a strong warning concerning the blog Poliitically Incorrect. This blog claims to be pro-American and pro-Israeli but with each post rejects the values of these pluralistic democracies. They say that they are only publishing news about the Islamicization of Europe that supposedly has been suppressed, but in fact they are only spreading hate against all Muslims. They imply that Islam and all Muslims harbor only hate and intolerance, but it is in fact this blog that consists of nothing but hate and racism, even as it perversely presents itself as fighting against intolerance.  The goal of this blog is nothing less than the demonization of Islam and Muslims.)

Will the owners of the blog Politically Incorrect remove the US flag from its banner once President Obama has moved into the White House?

UPDATE: The Bundesverfassungsschutz (Federal Office for Protection of the Consitution) investigates Politically Incorrect.

I hate that nonsense.
If you don't like 1 American, this doesn't make you any less or more pro-American.
Well, if that 1 American is Obama, this might be a sign that you are pro-American and that you care much about the USA.

A Green Party member of the Bundestag, Fritz Kuhn ...

As far as I remember, that guy recently said that: Israels right to exist is unquestionable, but this mustn't have implications on any actions.

Or did he say "decisions" instead of "actions"?
I don't know.

By the way: That guy is one of the "leaders" of the green party.

[underthesun]

racist blogs in the US such as Michelle Malkin and LittleGreenFootballs.

Is that guy nuts?
I haven't read one racists article on LittleGreenFootballs!
Not one!

To left wingers and socialists, the cry of "Racism" is one of their greatest weapons. They'll use it against conservatives whether justified or not. For example, Chaim gets unfairly called a racist when he only condemns evil culture. I'm surprised they used this against Michelle Malkin, but I suppose if you're conservative enough, and say enough right and true things, you don't have to be white to be a "Racist". lol

want to kick them square in the nuts!
