Right-wingers, including some war veterans, are killing gypsies out of hatred in Hungary
 While right-wingers in the US whine about a recent report warning that right-wing war veterans might be recruited to participate in hateful violence, a new New York Times story details how a wave of deadly violence against gypsies, a minority there, has embraced the nation of Hungary.

Who is killing and attacking the gypsies? Read this passage:


Experts on Roma issues describe an ever more aggressive atmosphere toward Roma in Hungary and elsewhere in Central and Eastern Europe, led by extreme right-wing parties, whose leaders are playing on old stereotypes of Roma as petty criminals and drains on social welfare systems at a time of rising economic and political turmoil. As unemployment rises, officials and Roma experts fear the attacks will only intensify.


Right-wing extremists are killing gypsies.

And among the suspects, guess who we have?


"the pool of suspects included veterans of the Balkan wars and Hungarian members of the French Foreign Legion."


Isn't that exactly what Janet Napolitano, head of Homeland Security, warned us against in the report for which she later apologized amid poutrage from the right?

That minority group could easily be translated in the future into Hispanics in America, especially illegal immigrants, or other groups being targeted by our own domestic right-wingers.

We should take the report seriously and not be afraid of denouncing inflammatory speech by the Glen Becks, Lou Dobbs, Rush Limbaughs, etc. In the media.

1. She should NEVER have apologized.

of course, they don't understand that they (Hungarians, Bulgars, etc) have been killing Romas for about 2000 years...


it has nothing to do with right-wing or ex-military, and more about a culture of hatred of races.

Just another dying gasp by the NYT.   The Times will still be trying to get as many people as possible to believe their lies as they slip away into the colon of hell.

It's amusing to we thinking people that all the rotten garbage the left tries to stick to the right automatically makes the right left.  Any "right-winger" who turns to violence and attempts to deny people their freedoms automatically becomes a "left-winger" by definition and example. 

The left can run and hide from who they are.  They can lie about it, which is usual.  But they cannot change it.

16. They are reduced to begging because most people wont hire them
 Hitler tried to exterminate them, but apparently nobody sheds a tear over it.

People hate them because they are different and people dont understand them.

Ignorance does that to people.

The problem with comparing right or left in Europe is that there isn't a thin dime's worth of difference.  The left can be vaguely described as international/socialist/statist and the right can be vaguely described as nationalist/socialist/statist.

I'm pretty sure that there is a Roma/gypsy population  here in the US, but we aren't hearing about them being targeted by right wing extremists. Why is that?
