And at 87 (thanks AP), he'll be long dead before this is settled in court. I hope Jon Stewart gets an interview of this guy for his show.

Whose definition shall we use? Again, I don't have a problem with it although ecamorg gave a better definition. Hank Williams Sr. sang a good lil song called "Mind Your Own Business". If you mind your own business you'll stay busy all the time. Surely people have more to do with their time than to worry about an old man paying tribute to a fallen mass murderer. It is not offensive to me as sheeple praising a satanic pedophile [piss be upon him] and willing to murder in his name.

He ran a German Restaurant there at the edge of town. He liked to get drunk and play old nazi records and sing along. We college students thought it was funny. One thing was for sure though, that Nazi propaganda really worked on him because he remained a loyal Nazi till the day he died. I knew an old timer in Nacogdoches that was a Nazi.

Is this fellow preaching hatred for all people who aren't nazis? Is he encouraging acts of violence against non-nazis? Is he indoctrinating children to hate the non-nazis? How many nazi terrorists were on the 911 planes? Do nazis demand and receive copies of Mein Kampf when they are captured? Is he doing anything close to what the muslimes do? This is a silly old fool who wants to make a shrine to honor a madman. The difference is that when someone destroys it-that will be fine. Try doing that to one of those disgusting mosques and see how fast you land in jail. RolandHall: Absolutely. Is this fellow preaching hatred for all people who aren’t nazis?

Waffens SS were straight army-like units (but not under the regular German General Staff) raised mostly from non-national Germans. These were not the SS troopers rounding up jews and stuff like that. I read the article in the Milwaukee Journal and it clearly stated Waffen SS, not SS. Wikipedia's entry is abit different my recollection...enough so that a bit more info about this guys actual unit is needed. Wikipedia does states that several Waffen SS units were involved with atrocities/war crimes (which I did know before reading the entry). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffen-SS Well, there was a difference between the SS, and the Waffen SS.
