I think I know how Le Pen got to second round in the 2002 French elections

I remembered seeing this topic on the Aqoul blog, that, while it didn't actually mention Jean-MarieDhimmi Le Pen, it did give a very good hint just how he reached the second round in France's elections in 2002. As it says here, Lionel Jospin, who was actually one of the better liberal politicians back then

lost Arab votes ... after infuriating them by his statements against Hezbollah...

This explained everything. As noted by CNN back in 2002, Le Pen's Front National party had otherwise dropped the anti-immigrant stance from their platform, one of the reasons why the Islamofascists in France may have seen in Le Pen as the lesser evil (for them, but for us he's equal to them in such terms), and bigots like him and them pretty much go hand in hand with each other. Thus, realizing how much they had in common (they don't like Jews, Blacks, French, Asians, stuff like that), so Le Pen and plenty of Islamists pretty much broke whatever ice was between each other, and thus, an alliance was formed, as most likely stands the case now. Thus, while he may ostensibly attack certain imams for hatemongering, but NOT Islam itself, as was the case in a recent speech he gave in Toulon, he need not worry about putting off that many Muslims in France: they will be able to tell that in truth, he's on their side, and few objections will be raised even now. If there's anything that will certainly impress the Islamists, it's Le Pen's attacks on Israel in which he drew a bizarre moral equation between the IDF and Hezbollah as "militias".

Note also that in the 2002 elections, the gap between Le Pen and Jospin was very narrow, one more clue to how Le Pen got ahead.

If there's anyone whom Le Pen could very likely get votes from this coming election, it's the Islamofascists in France, and yes, there most certainly will be some who'll vote for him. Look out.
