Jesus Christ Epona, how dare you say such a thing???
Yes, I agree with Groj the man was bad news, but don't you see how terrible this is? I'm shocked - because of what happened, mainly, but also shocked that you can say such a cruel and unnecessary thing. Oh well, I consider you a good friend and still do, you probably spoke in a misplaced attempt at humour, so....

Now listen. NOTHING Pim Fortuyn could have done were he to have become a big party here is as bad as what this murderer has done. No matter how unsavoury his political views, he SHOULD NOT be killed for them. Can't you see that that is true facism? To kill a man for his beliefs? Let me assure you that even Fortuyn's most fierce opponents here in Holland will NOT be doing the happy happy joy joy dance right now - they are appalled, as are the people. This is NOT democracy.

Donut - thank you for that post - you have the right of it, friend.

Sorry if I reacted vehemently, but I still mean what I said.
And let me tell you, I was opposed to Fortuyn vrey much. I've had nightmares about his rising popularity, and sleepless nights. But to compare him to Hitler is idiotic. And I stress again, that NO ONE should be bloody KILLED for their beliefs - NO BODY.
