I like the previous poster never saw a single nazi whilst in Germany.But hey the mindset is if you are a nationalist that makes you a nazi.
The mindset is that if you attend a rally in some sort of official capacity - and I would think that a BNP organiser and candidate, wearing BNP-branded clothing and speaking from the platform counts as an official capacity - then this indicates some common cause with the rally, if not an actual endorsement (unless you spoke out against the cause).
That rally is bedecked with imagery recalling the 'glory days' of the Third Reich - check out that stage banner with the clear referral to Nazi-era images - and is frequented by extremists who have to comply with the law forbidding any displays of Nazi-related paraphenalia, but who make little secret of their neo-nazi roots. The German government tried to ban them for opposing the constitution, so the NPD has to be extremely careful.
So, what would you think of somebody who supported a rally run by neo-nazis that idolise Rudolf Hess? A party that claims that the election of Barack Obama was the result of a negro/Jewish alliance and will destroy the white identity of the USA? Elected members Members walked out of a state parliament during a silence to commemorate the liberation of a concentration camp.
At the very least, that suggests common cause with an extremist party.
Mind you, they have called for an all-white German football team, have problems with members' criminal behaviour and can't seem to get their financial details right. So perhaps they do have much in common with the BNP.
