On May 9th, FrontPageMagazine.com published an article about the Parkland, Florida synagogue vandalism. But instead of focusing on the actual perpetrators, they're looking for "root causes". And guess what? They're falling back on the establishment's two favorite patsies; "white supremacists" and Muslims.

Here's the part of the article in which they discuss Stormfront:

Desecration and Destruction by Hate
By Joe Kaufman
FrontPageMagazine.com | Friday, May 09, 2008

Last month was a difficult time for the South Florida Jewish community. On April 29, 2008, vandals defaced a Parkland, Florida synagogue with spray-painted swastikas and statements lauding Hitler. One week prior to that, another synagogue in nearby North Miami Beach was set on fire. Anti-Semitism is on the rise in South Florida, and it’s incumbent upon the community to understand what groups have created this atmosphere for the area.

“Here we go again. Another swastika drawn the wrong way. These are definitely idiots that are just playing a prank, or even Jewish kids looking for sympathy. If you asshole out there have to draw the swastika, draw it right. Have some respect.”

The above quote was written by a member of Stormfront, a worldwide white supremacist internet forum based in West Palm Beach, Florida. It was concerning an incident that took place in Parkland, Florida only two nights before. A boy being driven to school by his mom discovered three swastikas scrawled on the walls of the synagogue he and his family attend, Chabad of Parkland. Along with one of the swastikas was the word “HEIL,” and an adjacent STOP sign contained the words “4 Hitler.”

The author of the piece goes by the name “EASTCOAST WARRIOR,” and he/she uses a gun as an icon for his/her posts.

Another Stormfront member, “richyrichard,” whose icon is a Nazi symbol containing an eagle and a swastika, stated the following about the incident, “When someone paints or photographs a porno queen, the media calls it art. When someone paints a swastika, the media calls it vandalism. But now, lets look closer. Who publishes photos of the swastikas all over the national news for everyone to see? Who, then, is the real vandal? Since the story sells, who has the greatest motive to paint the swastika?”

Stormfront was founded in January of 1995 by West Palm resident Don Black, the former Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (KKKK). He succeeded David Duke as leader of the KKK, in 1980. Today, Black has a radio talk show with Duke, which he hosts at Stormfront.

Being a website based on ‘white power’ advocacy, unabashed racists, including Klansmen, neo-Nazis and skinheads, convene on Stormfront’s forums to curse blacks and others they deem to be ‘non-white.’ There is also a general obsession with anything concerning Jews. The media, the government, even the Holocaust are all Jewish conspiracies on Stormfront.

Less than 24 hours from the desecration in Parkland, the following was posted on Stormfront by “A8L,” under the title, ‘Imagine our America – Today – Without the Jew’: “IF this horrid plague upon mankind that we know today as the JEW – had been eradicated by their victims – like the black plague of the middle ages – consider the effect on the United States... Today – thanks to the Jews and their ceaseless efforts to stir up divisive racial hatred... we now have a country full of niggers... Jews are MASTERS of creating hatred where there was none. No Jews – no race problems... We cannot undo the horrendous damages inflicted by the Jew filth in the past – BUT we can halt further destruction taking a stand against our REAL MORTAL enemy and destroy the beast before it destroys us totally. Take this country back – or lose it forever! GAME OVER!”

And the day of the incident, April 28th, at 1:20 PM, “tellthetruth357” wrote on Stormfront, under the title, ‘To solve our problems do the unthinkable’: “The problem is we have too many enemies. The Jews have made us and the Arabs enemies. We never had any problem with the Arabs prior to Israel. Mexicans are pouring over our border. The problem is Blacks, Orientals, Mexicans, Arabs and everyone else don’t understand that the Jew is everyone’s enemy.”

Could it be that this was the catalyst that triggered the defiling of the synagogue? Or possibly it came from an entirely different direction – the radical Muslim community...

Note that they don't address any of the issues discussed, such as "Mexicans pouring over our borders", or why the Jew is considered the enemy. And once again, here's another media outlet that cannot seem to refer to David Duke without including the description "former KKK leader". Just once, I would like to see a media outlet refer to Senator Robert Byrd as "former KKK member".

This is just another attempt to misrepresent and demonize white nationalism. If you read the remainder of the article, you'll find they reference the Islamic Center of Boca Raton, and immediately use the "t-word" (terrorist). In the author's mind, all Muslims are terrorists.
