Sorry, you are wrong : this story was just due to a private antiracist
organisation called LICRA, wich called to boycott yahoo and to support
them by sending mails to ... [EMAIL PROTECTED] (no joke !).
And here's some example of the so-called nazi litterature, for people to
judge on fact rather than on rumors :
1 - L'analyse physionomique du visage d'Hitler r�v�le son immense bont�.
Chateaubriand (1939)
(physionomical analysis of Hitler's face reveals his great kindiness)
Was Chateaubriand a nazi ?
2 - Arbeit macht frei. - Hitler
(works make free)
Apart the fact it is abusively attributed to Hitler himself, it is not
nazi propaganda, but rather an historic fact everyone should be aware
of.
You want other really discriminative citations ? Ok, here we go :
1 - Penser pour un bon nombre de femmes est plutot un accident heureux
qu'un
etat permanent. E.Stern
(thinking for most women is rather an accident than a permanent state)
Sexist
Les f�ministes travaillent, picolent, conduisent comme des mecs
et apr�s elles s'�tonnent qu'on les encule.
Patrick Timsit
(Feminist work, drink, drive as men, and then they are surprised to be
fucked)
Sexist and homophobist
etc, etc, etc...
So, is Mandrake a linux distribution or a new kind of WASP association
distributing parental advisories ?
