    Politik Heute.at (bit.ly/1kf5pdL) reports Simlinger expressed anger over journalists who report on asylum seekers and said in a city council meeting, “I don’t give a sh.. about asylum seekers, but the journalists are to be blamed. They should be hanged; they are like the Jews.”

    “This is unacceptable and disgusting. Immediate resignation of Gföhler ÖVP Mayor Karl Simlinger is inevitable,” says the first Green Member of Parliament Albert Steinhauser.

    Steinhauser also calls for the ÖVP’s federal chief Michael Spindelegger to take Simlinger’s place. “If the mayor does not voluntarily leave the field and continues to answer so strangely that he only quotes the dictionary, the ÖVP chairman will set the record straight,” says Steinhauser.

    Robert Laimer, country managing director of the Lower Austrian Red said such thought was, “intolerable – neither in the pub and certainly not in politics.”

    The Lower Austrian ÖVP has distanced himself from Simlinger’s statement. The mayor himself is not thinking of resigning.

    Gföhl is located in the Austrian state of Lower Austria, with a population of nearly 4,000.

    Austria is pathologically and violently anti-Semitic. Their fine Austrians Eichmann, Hitler, Kaltenbrunner, Stangl, Brunner and dozens of other war criminals. They still have a monument in the center of Vienna honoring Karl Lueger a spiritual mentor of Hitler

    Jews have no place in Austria, or any place in Eastern Europe. Why Jews continue to live there is baffling to me. There are other places on the planet to live that are not soaked with Jewish blood.

    This Austrian specimen represents the typical anti-Semite . Lower Austria or Niederoesterreich always had a small Jewish population even before Hitler. His grandfather hated Jews and his father hated Jews ,may have been in a killng squad and epigenetics made him an anti-Semite . The sad story is that Jews flock where money is to be made regardless of its past

    I don’t understand.
    Why is everybody condemning all Austrians, when it’s the Austrians themselves that are demanding this Anti-Semite’s resignation?
