In what appears to have been an attempt by the FBI or ANTIFA (or some such group) to generate controversy and distract from the fact that there were kids attending a highly-sexualized drag show in a park, a bunch of dudes in khaki pants and black face coverings<\/a>, showed up in Watertown chanting and waving Nazi flags. The response has been interesting.<\/p>\n

First, let\u2019s try to figure out why a photojournalist, from New York just happened to be in little Watertown, WI to stumble upon a bunch of alleged Nazis protesting a drag show. Odd, eh? Her video shows her staying at a hotel, so it doesn\u2019t look like she was visiting family or anything. Then she was back in New York within 24 hours. Strange, eh?<\/p>\n

Putting that aside, the reaction has been telling. People\u2019s reactions fell into two basic camps. Leftist activists immediately jumped on the videos decrying Nazis and painting the picture that only Nazis would oppose drag shows in front of kids. This was the intended reaction of the alleged Nazis staging the event. Almost to a person, Righties immediately identified the alleged Nazis as fake \u2013 FBI or some leftist group \u2013 pretending to be Nazis in order to give Leftists an excuse to have reaction #1 above.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the truth? I think that the alleged Nazis were fake. We have seen Nazi protests for my entire lifetime and before. They tend to be pretty proud of their bigotry and don\u2019t mind showing their faces. They also don\u2019t usually wear slacks, but they DO usually have swastika flags that are replicas from the Third Reich \u2013 not goofy black and white versions. So yes\u2026 this seems staged and just in time for the runup to a presidential election.<\/p>\n

Am I cynical? You bet I am. Experience will do that to you.<\/p>\n
