You know? Liberals will buy anything a bigot writes. They really support it. George Lincoln Rockwell’s probably just a very knowledgeable businessman with no political convictions whatsoever. He gets three bucks a head working mass rallies of nothing but angry Jews shaking their fists and wondering why there are so many Jews there.

Take Bruce’s observations as you will. For me, it's disturbing to read such concrete confirmation of Bruce’s 60-year-old commentary as Sympthsical provides in this thread.
