Article details how reporter -- pre-armed with relevant facts and cameras -- confronts neoNazis in Tennessee. | Excerpts:

Members of the Goyim Defense League harassed people in the heart of Nashville's entertainment district, berating a lesbian mom who had just left a restaurant.

Later, the neo-Nazis assaulted a bartender who had confronted the group.


"I'm curious: Why Nashville? Why did you guys choose Nashville?" I asked Minadeo.

A fellow GDL member, Nicholas Bysheim, quickly answered.

"It's the only place that respects freedom of speech," Bysheim said.

Minadeo added, "Yeah, this city respects freedom of speech, but communist Jews like yourself don't."

A Californian who moved to Florida, Minadeo leads the hate group as it goes around the country trying to create scenes that they hope will bring them attention and followers.

One of their favorite tropes: Falsely accusing Jews of being pedophiles.


Over and over, it became clear that these are people who are blind to any facts that don't support their hate.

These are really pathetic human beings.

They are the only ones who seem not to know it.

Insulting to small-chinned comrades. Just because they're nazis doesn't mean body shaming is okay.

I agree, the subtext of this comic could be read as if it was okay if they were all blond, blue eyed chads.

If the "masterrace" people were all ultra good looking, highly educated supermodels, they'd still be wrong, evil and ugly on the inside.

Just because they're Nazi's means almost anything is okay. Body shame them away. They're not going to give you or me the basics of human respect so why should I? Almost every Nazi I've met is a fat, ugly, neck beard who would rather force everyone to change around them than to change themselves. See how easy that was?

You can body shame fascists until the cows come home. Still won't do jack shit. The only winning strategy is violence.

Would you call a fascist the R word? How about the N word? If you found a fascist in a wheelchair, would you start talking up low blows? Leftist ought to see no utility in body shaming, we are above that. It doesn't work anyway.

If they're a fascist and what I'm saying is getting under their skin, yeah I'll call them all that. With apologies to the groups that I disparage.

Preacher by Garth Ennis, who also wrote The Boys.

Preacher by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. Specifically #46, reprinted in the collection "Preacher: Salvation".

Really, all of Preacher though is just solid gold. Shame the TV show didn't do it justice.
