Sweden Democrat calls for opponents to be 'shot'

Local Sweden Democrat candidate Marie-Louise Enderleit has called for the execution of the party's opponents by firing squad.
- Sweden Democrats sue parliament (30 Nov 11)
- Sweden Democrats lose Malmö seat (14 Nov 11)
- Top Sweden Democrats accused of spying (25 Oct 11)
Enderleit, who is on the party's list in Trelleborg municipality in southern Sweden, used her Facebook page on Monday to comment on a film from a Sweden Democrat meeting. The party's public meetings are often attended by counter-demonstrators and this one was no exception, with some new Swedes among the crowd.
When the newspaper called Marie-Louise Enderleit, who is employed by the county as an assistant nurse, to ask whether her comments might be construed as hate speech, she replied:
"It is very possible that could be, but it is agitation against us as well. We have freedom of speech don't we, well for the time being at least," adding, "I can't take it when they carry on like that, we are treated like parasites."
The Sweden Democrat's local party leader in Trelleborg, Per Klarberg, told the newspaper that Enderleit now regretted her comments and that she has removed the post from her Facebook page.
Sweden Democrat press secretary Erik Almqvist, according to the Expressen daily, has described the comments as "totally reprehensible and totally unacceptable" and said that it was the party's policy to contact representatives in cases such as these and he "presumed that would be the case now as well".
Marie-Louise Enderleit is number 19 on the Sweden Democrat list for the municipal elections in Trelleborg and will thus not claim a seat as a councillor.
The Local has made attempts to contact Marie-Louise Enderleit, Per Klarberg and Erik Almqvist on Wednesday, but our calls have not been returned.

With such a moronic attitude this woman is in the wrong party... she needs to join the Feminist Initiative ASAP so she can be with others as looney as her.
very true, They sound like terrorists indeed, shoot people line them up in line, which era are we in, this is Sweden we have no violence.
Its sound like SD is a parasite of Sweden a bunch of psychololigaly retards, I m sure if you interiew them well you find they have family problems, hate towards life and their mothers, lack of imotional inteligents, voters are drug addicts and loser who blame their idiocy on anything different to their narrow mind.
Miss Marie-Luise Dåliganderäkt , here is a quote for you :
: "A man who takes away another man's freedom is a prisoner of hatred; he is locked behind the bars of prejudice and narrow-mindedness. I'm not truly free if I'm taking away someone else's freedom, just as surely as I'm not free when my freedom is taken from me. The oppressed and the oppressor alike are robbed of their humanity. When I walked out of prison, that was my mission: to liberate both the oppressed and the oppressor ".
You are a prisoner Miss Marie-Luise !!!!
She should not be allowed to work as nurse or might kill many immigrants who are sick in hospitals. She seems mental and ill and hate humans.
She speaks about freedom and this is how some idiots from Europe takes advantage of free speech. use this to spread hate.
Use this free speech and speak against racism and use this in better way to bring peace among nations, after all we are children of same parents (Adam and Eve) go live for a while in Africa your color would change by the time ;)
Only stupid muslim (or some other religious) fool can say, that we are all children of same parents (Adam and Eve). Adam and Eve never lived, they are only mythological figures, not real persones.
i am impressed, you smart a*s,
did you get to this conclusion by yourself or someone with smarter ass than the fat one you have did help you.
I would welcome healthy debate about immigration, but not with the SD under their thin, fracturing mask of respectability.
Um... the woman is calling for the execution of innocent people - She is an elected official. Her words, I suspect, are criminal. Regardless of political party, elected officials cannot call for the execution of anyone.
I expect this will be only the first of many offensive and foolish statements from SD members... they are new and ignorant of how to behave. They also have the impossible task of promoting hate and intolerance.
As odd as it may sound, there will be some entertainment value in watching their true beliefs seep out... Like the stuff that seeps out of a restaurant dumpster/skip.
I only hope someone makes an official complaint to the police.
My knowledge on Swedish politics is very limited to make comments against SD, however intolerance against ANY GROUP should NOT be admited.
As an immigrant, I will demonstrate (via my work) that I worth...
No SD or other moronic 455 will say that I worth less since I am an "invandare"
as Stanislaw Lem said:
"Until I connected to the internet, I didn't know that there's so many idiots around the world"
And she even did not enter a kindergarten or a bus and did not actually kill anyone, unlike some others....But she is already a killer and represents a gang of murderers... Oh, the irony.
You do realize that this is Sweden and not Saudi Arabia? OR?
As usual you're a bit confused.
We in the west ACTUALLY practice what we preach.
Just to remind you again, we try to be civilized, we dont torture, we dont practice suicide bombing, we dont hate based on religion, etc...
I see no IRONY in this condemnation of NAZI hatred which you seem to subscribe to.
BUT BUT , as you like to say.
quote from www.sydsvenskan.se : "Jag är inte längre med i SD....Jag har varit hjärntvättad... säger Marie-Louise Enderleit."
SD consist of vulnerable people, feeling left out...attacking the more weaker group...like some insecure kids feeling more powerful when they are mean to other people. And the conservatives with company are happy, having a wish come true.
Given that you defend to the last every dictator and every terrorist group that ever killed anyone, it is nice to see that you could actually explain what the west is standing for...
I totally understand. OTHERS torture. OTHERS commit suicide bombing. OTHERS hate based on religion. And cow boy here is awfully afraid to generalize OTHERS and draw conclusions about OTHERS. Because OTHERS are nations inferior to the WEST, right, cow boy? They do not understand.... They are only stupid kids. Only SOME of the OTHERS hate and torture and suicide..
OUR pure nation must be above all of this and therefore it is allowed to generalize when hatred is coming from the west. Right?
Are you into race research? I thought it was closed in the 60's in Sweden.
It's OUR U.S. CORPORATE, PRO-ISLAMIC/MUSLIM media at work, covering up Muslim SEX JIHAD!
It's shameful how the U.S. CORPORATE MEDIA won't talk about the TRUTH ABOUT ISLAM & how CRIMINAL & PARASITIC it is!
