Albert,

how do you define past? 10 minutes ago or longer or is that too conservative?

What did he do 10 minutes ago?

if I recall it correctly, national front is behind attacks synagogues in France and article dates 2002.

You don't. They are tied to Muslims, not Le Pen. The very article you linked says so:

just because he is anti-Muslim that does not mean that he is not an anti-Semitic or that he is pro-Israeli.

As I said in my post, my memory is a little hazy about this. It could have been Le Pen's rival (within their party) who was pro-Israel. I did not come up with anything searching Google.

I was under the impression that this rival took over from Le Pen the leadership of their party. So this news of Le Pen doing so well in the elections is a news to me. I thought Le Pen retired. Anyway, I will read a bit more about this subject.

Since Margaret Thacher retired, there is no European politician that appeals to me, and the string of French Presidents and prime ministers being at the bottom of my list, IMO, so I find some enjoyment in their embarrassment.

Joe

That's right......that's why there are signs up in French cities........Mussolini, 1922; Hitler, 1933 and Le Pen, never.

Joe is having a problem here because a little over a week ago, he told me I was off for saying the fascista were right wing. But now its not me that's saying that.

The National Front have always been a small, extremely right party........in this election, they have come from no where to be a major player. It would be the equivalent of the Greens or the communist party in this country challenging Bush in 2004.
