WCBSTV.com: Your Source For New York News, Weather, Sports & Traffic: Neo-Nazi Twins Are Double Threat To Some

On the website for Prussian Blue, featuring lead singers Lynx and Lamb Gaede, you'll find 13 year old twins from Southern California wearing t-shirts emblazened with smiley Hitler faces. They're often quoted as saying the holocaust wasn't as a big deal as it is made out to be. Some of their song lyrics bemoan what a tough time whites are having these days.

Hikind called the girls and their parents Neo Nazis and demanded that the magizine reconsider it's plan to feature the Gaede girls. For its part, Teen-People said in a statement, "In the fight against racism, thorough reporting is one of the most effectrive ways to educate readers and combat hate." We did note that Teen-People's web promotional copy for the article described the girls in tamer terms, having a message of "white pride", than the t-shirts with the smiley Hitler faces would imply. siehe auch: I've got the blues.

Die Musik der Zwillinge soll als „Einstiegs-Droge“ für spätere „härtere Kost“, wie Musik der Band Max Resists, fungieren. Auch der ehemalige KuKluxKlan-Chef und Präsidentschafts-Kandidat David Duke bediente sich in seinem Wahlkampf der singenden Mädchen
