Blunt decries planned Neo-Nazi march on Capitol grounds
Gov. Matt Blunt is no stranger to issuing news releases filled with angry rhetoric, but today’s is a bit unique.
The governor rips the members of the National Socialist Movement who apparently plan a march on the Capitol grounds on Nov. 8. According to the Jefferson City News-Tribune, the group turned to the capital city after being rejected by the city of Columbia.
Blunt says he wishes that he, too, could have rejected the group but said the law won’t allow it.
“While I prefer to ignore this hate group, the media have continued to draw attention to their march, and Missourians are asking why they are being allowed on Capitol grounds,” Blunt said. “The great people of this nation have long recognized that we have certain moral responsibilities to one another. Not so many years ago, a generation of exceptional American heroes confronted the dangerous ideaologies of Nazi Germany and won. it is repulsive to me that the eveil and despicable views that led to horrific and unthinkable crimes against humanity would be celebrated by this group.”
Columbia had rejected the Neo-Nazi’s plan for a march because police were already committed that day to helping with traffic for the MU-Kansas State football game.


Sorry about that Tony. I let my fingers do the thinkin’. Hate-mongering, racist, despicable, Nazis. (Keep it clean…keep it clean….) They don’t deserve publicity, but have the right…(hate to say it)…the right to march and express their views in a democracy… (even if they have no regard for human life)… The bit about the eggs and tomatoes stands.
