Default Teutonic Teabaggers

Thirteen percent of Germans would welcome the arrival of a new
"Fuhrer," a new study suggests in what may be the most striking
example yet of the rise of right-wing extremism in Europe today.

According to the Christian Science Monitor, more than a third of
Germans feel the country is "overrun by foreigners," roughly 60
percent would "restrict the practice of Islam" and 17 percent believe
Jews have "too much influence."

The Irish Times reports:

Researchers said a clear trend was visible: after almost a decade of
decline, the survey indicates that views in favour of dictatorship,
xenophobia and anti-Semitism are increasing in popularity. "In the
past the base for extreme-right views in Germany, though present, was
more latent in nature. Now these views are being expressed more
frequently," said Oliver Decker, one of the authors of the study.
He suggested that the views in the survey were colored by the recent
economic crisis, even though Germany is heading back to 3 per cent
growth this year.


Yup, the prototypical example for Teabaggers in training.


Obama is moving to Germany? Oh wait...
