Jörg Haider dies in a car accident..Source: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20081011/wl_nm/us_austria_haider_death VIENNA (Reuters) - Austrian far-right leader Joerg Haider, a charismatic populist who helped thrust anti-immigrant politics into the European mainstream, was killed in a car accident on Saturday. Haider, 58, who led the right into a coalition government from 2000 to 2006, polarized Austria and drew international condemnation with his anti-foreigner outbursts and for appearing to endorse some Nazi policies. The article is longer, I didn't post it all. Why this is 'relevant' for AE - Jörg Haider was gay. Submitted by j U d E (1259 points) (356 posts) on Sat, 2008-10-11 13:25. |

Good to Know
It's not good to speak ill of the dead
Jörg Haider is dead.
Good.

Some pictures that caused a bit of a scandal when they were printed (though they claimed the moral outrage was that he hung out with young guys in a club that promoted binge drinking but we all knew that it was just code for what they couldn't write): http://diepresse.com/home/politik/innenpolitik/347107/index.do?from=rss
