McCain's Flirtation with Ukrainian Neo-Nazis?

A column in the LA Times points out that Ukrainian fascists and neo-nazis are making up a critical part of the new government in Ukraine. The leader of one of the neo-nazi groups (Svboda, aka the Neo-Nazi Social-Nation Party of Ukraine) has publicly praised Ukrainians in World War II who massacred Jews.

The Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine is a member of a neo-nazi party. Another neo-nazi goon now has control of the Ukrainian armed forces and police.

And yet, the Israeli ambassador met with those people.

The Russian view of Ukraine is that a government which was elected by a democratic process was overthrown by a coalition of Eurotrash, which were led around by two neo-fascist groups, Svboda and Red Sector. Whether you accept their argument that the snipers shooting in Kiev was a false-flag operation by Svboda/Red Sector gunmen or not, the fact that neo-fascists now have significant power in Ukraine should give some pause to both the Right-Wing Noise Machine as well as the Obama Administration.

But it hasn't made a dent. Maybe we should wonder why.
