Has to be better than the racist homophobic people over at the French National Front. I heard they were even attracting some Nazi groups, of course fascists end up banding together despite being from separate nations often.

Of course the fascists never used any “violence” whatsoever as a response to protests

Of course you can’t compare FN and the French Socialist Party. However, what strikes me is the violence used by anti-FN residents, quite reminiscent of methods used in the less glorious hours of the 20th century. Fighting ignorance with pure denial and griefing attacks (and several ToS violations) isn’t, in my view, the way to go. Now, let’s see how the official presence of Segolene Royal turns out. Will it be another ‘empty shell’ hype-surfing initiative or a develop into a community spot for debate and true political discussion?

This was dumb. You can’t compare the two. It’s like comparing a rabid doberman to a hummingbird.

Indeed. In fact, Segy is probably the more moderate of the two major party candidates – I get the impression that she has much in common with Blair and New Labour. Sarkozy will probably be a tad too radical for France, but we’ll see come May, eh. And both candidates are, as Ordinal says, mainstream moderates when put next to Le Pen.

Sigh. I wish our potential future PM was as sexy as Segy. Why does British politics have to be so dry?

Yeeeersss. The idea of you comparing a race hate group to a fairly mainstream political party on equal terms is… interesting.

A little note – outside of the rarified atmosphere of US political debate, “socialist” does not actually correspond to “hating everything civilised society stands for”. Just so that you know.
