From the Washington Post.

This is really amazing. Like I pointed out before, if Le Pen was a hard-core Communist, with the Marxist core philosophy of total human enslavement, no one in France would even bat an eye. The socialist philosophy has so pervaded these societies, that people are probably no longer even aware of where they stand. Le Pen may be an unpleasant character, and he certainly seems to have a few geraniums in his cranium, but he is raising real issues that have been ignored by the French political mainstream, uncontrolled immigration being among them. In addition, no reasonable person thinks he can win this election.

So why the massive outcry? Could it be the conservative policies and not the man that are being shouted down?

The article lists the hideous agenda of this foul creature from the outer darkness:

...Le Pen says that if elected, he will move to cut France's ties with the European Union, restore border controls to halt the flow of immigrants and phase out income taxes. He opposes abortion, supports the death penalty and has been accused of being anti-Semitic.

"YAAHHHHHHH! The horror! The horror! Kill him!! KILL HIM!!!!"

*sigh*

Conservatives, even more moderate ones, face the same treatment in the U.S., although not with this much virulence. At least, not yet.
