German militia, also known as Brownshirts , of the Nazi Party, established 1921 under the leadership of Ernst R hm, in charge of physical training and political indoctrination. Originally uniformed stewards to organize demonstrations, they became street brawlers who dealt with any political opposition to party rallies. When the Nazis gained power 1933 their strength was about 400,000 and they considered themselves the rival to the German Army. Only force rules.
Force is the first law.
More than 2,500 sign-waving Republican demonstrators gathered Saturday in Pensacola, Fla., to hear speeches from Republican lawmakers. Another 400 Republicans gathered to hear former presidential candidate Bob Dole speak in support of Bush. In Washington, D.C., outside the Vice President's residence, about 300 chanting Bush supporters faced about 30 Gore supporters. But the most controversial action continues in Fort Lauderdale, where a group of Republican Party workers in a motor home, accused by Democrats of intimidating the Miami-Dade election board into quitting their recount, are involved in protests outside the courthouse where Broward County is finishing its manual recount. On that day, in an apparent exercise of spontaneous public outrage, pro-George W. Bush demonstrators surged through the county office building in Miami, demanding an end to the hand recount there.
