Why can’t we!
Reading this sounds pretty damn familiar, 21st century amerika, but not quite as blatant yet, or is it.
Actually they use two very descriptive leads to the story, and they should know, first:
Right-Wing Extremism
Is the lead then we get to the meat.
The Village Where the Neo-Nazis Rule
A vaillage sign at the entrance to Jamel bearing the far-right slogan “Free, Social, National.” Jamel is an example of the far-right problem that has plagued Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania for years. The rural state, once part of communist East Germany, has a poor reputation in this regard — the NPD, which glorifies the Third Reich, has been in the state parliament since 2006 and neo-Nazi crimes are part of daily life.
01/03/2011 – Hitler salutes in the street and firing practice in the forest: Neo-Nazis have taken over an entire village in Germany, and authorities appear to have given up efforts to combat the problem. The place has come to symbolize the far right’s growing influence in parts of the former communist east.
Horst and Birgit Lohmeyer have been working on their life’s dream for six years, renovating a house in the woods near Jamel, a tiny village near Wismar in the far northeastern German state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Birgit Lohmeyer writes crime novels, her husband is a musician, and both try to pretend everything is normal here in Jamel.
It wasn’t easy to find their new home. The Lohmeyers spent months driving out to the countryside every weekend, heading east from where they lived in Hamburg, but most of the houses they saw were too expensive. Then they came across the inexpensive red brick farmhouse in Jamel. Slightly run-down, but not far from the Baltic Sea, the house sits surrounded by lime and maple trees, near a lake.
The Lohmeyers knew that a notorious neo-Nazi lived nearby — Sven Krüger, a demolition contractor and high-level member of the far-right National Democratic Party (NPD). What the Lohmeyers didn’t know was that other neighbors felt terrorized by Krüger. He and his associates were in the process of buying up the entire village.

And at the time only one responder on the page even questioned the use of the connection to the growing in fame fox and corporate teabaggers.
