Seems someone got the whole thing seriously wrong, but evidently there was a casting call for actors for a Cadillac commercial that was looking for "alt-right" or "neo-nazi" types.
Cadillac caused a stir this week when a casting service put out a request on behalf of the American luxury brand looking to fill the role of an "alt-right (neo-Nazi)" in a new commercial. Cadillac denied it had ever authorized the notice and condemned it, while the casting company took responsibility, saying that it had been issued by mistake. Regardless of who did what, the idea had to have been hatched somewhere and by someone, which reveals something far more troubling than a mere streak of poor taste and even poorer judgement in corporate America: the marketability and mainstreaming of an alt-right population, or those "identified variously with anti-globalist and anti-immigrant stances, cartoon frogs, white nationalists, pick-up artists, anti-Semites, and a rising tide of right-wing populism," as Tablet contributor Jacob Siegel wrote in a profile of Paul Gottfried, the alt-right's "godfather."
Hmm, maybe now that the "alt-right" has become just another marketing demographic, we do not have to worry about them taking over the country? I mean, who buys Cadillacs as a status symbol anymore? Not like they are your father's Oldsmobile. Except that, really, it was your father's Olds. So that brand no longer exists. Are we at the point where we can say, "Brietbart: it's not your grandpa's fascism!"? Except, really, maybe it is?

And here, folks, we have an actual nazi. This is what they look like and how they talk. There are boxes you can check. In his brief post he checked several. First, he called for lynching those calling out Cadillac for casting neo-nazis, presumably because it's perfectly normal and acceptable to cast neo-nazis in commercials. Second, he dehumanized everyone he disagrees with and wished them all dead. Third, he favors mono-ethnic states.
That's why it's ill-advised, even dangerous, to throw around charges of fascism and nazism loosely, because they lose all their power to describe in situations like this when they are apt, and needed.
It's not only ACs that talk like this. There are registered users who have openly called for forced labor and extermination of immigrants. (Those are two more boxes to check in classifying an actual nazi.) Those are not the intentions of free thinkers, enlightened men, or moral beings. They are the darkest of evil that always stalks us and invades the hearts of the unwary.
Washington DC delenda est.

Keep thinking that those who disagree with you are "the darkest of evil" or "insane" and 2020 will be an even easier win for us than 2016 was. Why hate those who dissent from your orthodoxies? Be a decent person for once in your life.

You didn't win easily: you got lucky. Even with your luck, you only won because the votes of the people who voted for you counted more due to some anachronistic features of the system.
Think on that: you rolled a 20, and you could still only just barely win because the system was rigged in your favor. Same thing happened in 2000. The last time your party won a presidential election for real with a non-incumbent candidate was 1988.
Your support is literally dying off, and long-term demographics are against you big time. You're circling the drain; you're just at the far part of your orbit around it right now. Enjoy it while it lasts, because it won't last long.
Just try not to start a nuclear war or something for the people who will have to clean up after you, plz k thx.

What the fuck? Are you completely retarded? Was it not HRC that promised to annihilate Iran and start a war with Russia?
Yes it was -- go back and check.
Was it not HRC funded by the Saudi's who deny women their rights, slaughter civilians in the Yemen and fund ISIS?
You're a complete and utter cunt eh?

You are doing the demonic work of the jews.
"free thinkers, enlightened men, or moral beings"
Lets see what you mean by those:
1. Free thinkers who disown their own race and sleep with jews.
2. Enlightened men who are still in the dark and are being slaughtered. Enlightened only as much as Big Brother wants them to know.
3. Moral beings who like being told which morals to live by, by television personalities. Morals that involve killing other peoples.

A real, honorable, enlightened human has different definitions:
1. Free thinking to see through the veil that is being put on their eyes. Able to think for themselves, clearly.
2. Enlightened men who know the meaning of racial purity and have no hate for their race. Enlightened to respect other races and cultures (and not judge them) as long as they do the same.
3. Moral beings who benefit society and not fuel wars and death and destruction.

Explain to us what "racial purity" means. Please. With as much science as you can muster. I've got a bag of popcorn the size of the Ritz and by Cthulhu it looks like I'm gonna need it all.

If jews tell you (ask you nicely through many persuasion techniques) to do something, you can bet it has GOT to be bad for you.
They divide and conquer. A pure race is hard to fool. A pure race has many super-powers of the mind (no kidding here) and that is a great advantage. But you wouldn't know that if you are mixed.
Race mixing is genocide. Those who are not faithful to their race are traitors.
Ex French president jew Nicolas Sarkozy wants racial inter-breeding by law: French Ex-President Sarkozy again tells French to mix races. [whitegenocideproject.com]
Mixed people have no identity. They may look like people, eat, drink like people but are not. They are hollow beings who do not have life energy. Easy to conquer.
