The right to be a dickhead
Damian Penny shows an interesting story about a real jackass.
Now, David Ahenakew is a racist and a hatemonger and he should be stripped of more than a few honors, but I believe you have the right to say something anti-semitic, or burn the flag, or destroy a privately owned religious article, provided you are a private citizen and not doing it in a way that disgraces a larger group (a solider burning a flag while in a US Army uniform is illegal and should be regarded as low level treason).
I always figured aboriginal North Americans are among the few indigenous people not to be anti-semitic, but I guess that record is sullied. Now, blaming the Jews for WWII is like blaming black people for the American Civil War, which many low born whites did.
As for some of his asinine comments:
"How do you get rid of a disease like that, that's going to take over, that's going to dominate?" Ahenakew said to the reporter. "The Jews damn near owned all of Germany prior to the war. That's how Hitler came in. He was going to make damn sure that the Jews didn't take over Germany or Europe.
"That's why he fried six million of those guys, you know. Jews would have owned the God-damned world."
Sorry indigenous hate monger, but all Jews did was fight nobly for the Kaiser in WWI, get fucked by Britain after Lord Balfour made a promise, and provide Germany with lots of scientists, philosophers, and other contributions. I wouldn't be surprised if every great German mind had some distant Jewish ancestor. The Renaissance didn't come to Europe until after millions of Jews migrated there...well the Spice Trade and the printing press also factored in, but look at post-Roman Europe before Jews and after :)
Besides, David should be a bit more sensitive as his own ancestors suffered a very similar fate over a longer period of time. Besides, I would say almost all atrocities committed against First Nations were done by Christians. Besides, if you ahve such a problem with Jews, change your first name from David to Adolf or Yasser.

It is useful to try everything in practice anyway and I like that here it's always possible to find something new. :)
