I emailed it to myself and copied it. It's fine, I didn't want to post the whole article, I just can't capture the link address from the page any more.
However, I might have answered my own question. David Zaslow, a good friend and rabbi to a havurah group in Ashland, he will know where to get a mime or some good fellows. The parade only lasts less than an hour.

People thinking they're smarter or better somehow than everyone else because of their racial or ethnic background. Let's see now. Just who here on the forum does this remind us of?
While I'm not fond of Nazi's or hate either one, this thread certainly does seem ironic, doesn't it???
Seems karmic to me too. At least it will give new purpose for at least one forum member and give them another outlet for their unpleasantness, too.

I have no use for him or his wife.
We got married byWillie of Willie's Talent Club. Much better.

Seems karmic to me too. At least it will give new purpose for at least one forum member and give them another outlet for their unpleasantness, too. Actually Ponder, repeating insults over and over again at someone, doesn't make them valid or create a universal truth by the sheer bulk of them. What you might observe, as you go through the last years of your life, is that people are quite often pleasant to the people they find to be pleasant and unpleasant to those they find unpleasant.
What the reaction to this thread does re-iterate is that some posters, only posture at moral indignation and moral offense when it suits their, I don't know, you tell me, mood? Or perhaps as an attention getting device. I think of them a hobbyists. Most have paid zero for their "convictions". I think we are supposed to pay our dues. Quaint turn of a phrase though, "fond of Nazis', sounds like Sarte'.

Oh, was I talking about you? Well, as a matter of fact, I do think you have some dues to pay, yes.

We should reject personal experience and try and average out others experiences and go by that instead? You're nuts.

No, that wasn't any votes for the felon, neo-nazi period. That was two votes for you having a new distraction to keep you busy with.

David Zaslow, alleged to not have performed a wedding ceremony for BB, allegedly because BB wasn't "Jewish", really doesn't hit the bar for disqualifying the man from having social value.
Now driving around in a car, with a bat and a pipe attacking homeless people, that might qualify as a disqualifying temperament for say...teaching children. But we all see things differently.

I was wondering how deep "the enemy of my enemy et al" carries around here, for a moment.

You did need a hobby, didn't you? Sorry work isn't keeping you any busier.

Why would I make something up, especially about that? I said I had no use for him, not that he had no use. For the record, Arieh (sp?) wouldn't marry us either. I know and have experienced more about the Jewish community in Ashland and the reasons we moved to the RV, full of good folks, than I am willing to discuss here, so I will leave it at that.
Hobbyists indeed.

That wasn't referring to you, the word "hobbyists". I think of Zaslow as a friend, I have no reason to doubt he acted as you say, he is, at the end of the day, very Jewish and would be a stickler over ritual. Arieh isn't turning down anyone any more.
My reference to hobbyists refers to the alligator tears that are shed on this forum over issues that they are pretty sure they won't really have to do anything about.
I don't even attend the Gold Dust Day parade as it is always on Sabbath. But the picture of this guy walking down the street in a parade, with 20 kids behind him, all suited up, stopping and doing their moves behind "Master" Patterson, makes me cringe.
