I found out that I had received a comment on one of my articles earlier today (the article was titled “A BNP Vote = A Racist Vote”) which criticised my narrow-mindedness. They accepted that there were some anti-Semites in the British National party, but that did not make them all racist. By campaigning for the Jewish vote they were allowing Jews to make stand against the Islamification of the nation. They then pointed out that a Muslim supporter of Hamas who is an apologist for suicide bombers is actively campaigning for Ken Livingstone.
The difference is these Muslims that have these views are supporting Livingstone rather than him actually employing them for his campaign. The BNP is asking all of its supporters to make Conservative candidate Boris Johnson their second choice: Johnson, to his credit, has said that he wishes to disassociate himself from the BNP.
I stand by my assessment that the BNP is a party based upon racism: thus voting for them is a racist action - or at least nationalistic jingoism - but I accept that racists support other candidates and political parties.
