No no no. You’ve got it all wrong SPLC! The Asatru Folk Assembly is just a few guys in straw hats singing Pete Seeger tunes!

Neo Pagan White Supremacists = BAD
Evangelical White Supremacist = GOOD
All they have to do is to change their religious allegiance tithe to a Southern Baptist church and they will allowed back in.

Yet another not-a-racist. I bet he thinks he’s just telling the truth about inferior races.

Another co-op of an innocent symbol, like the “OK” hand sign, I guess.
Pagans or neo-pagans used to “honor the diversity of nature and life, eschew sexism, racism, homophobia, and other forms of intolerance.”

I thought the Asatru Folk Assembly opened for Seeger at Newport. At some point they might have been blacklisted. /sp

They still do. These Asshatru fucks have just co-opted it. From the original article.
Paganism, itself, isn’t disqualifying for members of the military and many pagan groups explicitly denounce white supremacy and Asatru paganism specifically.

Well, the only thing left for these guys to do is go full time military and enlist in the Marines.

I guess it all comes down to which kind of “paganism” we are talking about Aztecs were pagans and were exactly famous for toleration. But again early Israelites were’s exactly inclusive of people of other faiths as stated in Joshua, Judges, Kings, Chronicles and other books of the Bible and as to homophobia look what happened to Sodom.

No bigotry?! Why isn’t there a Flying Rotini Monster then? And why doesn’t Orecchiette get a seat at the table?
A bunch of pasta-ists, if you ask me.

Sure. The (very non-neo) Nazis did a lot with pseudo-Norse mythology.
