You have investigated WRONG, he was *NOT* like Le Pen at all! I am not a 
defender of his ideas and ideals, but I believe in democracy, even if that 
allows people like Fortuyn stand up and say what they want to. Especially 
if a large population of my country agrees with him. I am sorry, but you 
are stupid for making accusations without knowing anything about Dutch 
politics, Dutch culture and politics.

Then so are the 1,000's marching in Rotterdam right now. You are an ass for 
not respecting views of a man who got shot for them. He wasn't a criminal, 
he wasn't a racist. And I will talk to you after your prime minister (or 
leading in campaign like Fortuyn) gets shot. I hope for you and your 
country you will mourn for the death of a right-wing politician aslike you 
would for a left-wing politician.
I feel ashamed of my country that a politician can be killed because of his 
ideals; while this always was such a safe home for so many people.
But I feel proud as I see the 1,000's of people showing respect and mourn 
for Pim Fortuyn. And respect is what we need.

So thanks for calling me an ass, that shows how much respect you have for 
my feelings, my country, my culture and the Dutch democracy.
