U2 Singer Bono Mocks Sweden Democrats (as Nazis) at Paris Concert

Irish rock singer Bono, performing with his band, U2, in Paris, sent out a mocking Nazi salute Sweden Democrats’ way from the stage.

U2 frontman Bono mocked the Sweden Democrats during a Paris concert.

The rock star barked out the German word for “attention” as well, calling the Sweden Democrat leader, Jimmie Akesson, by name.

And that wasn’t all. Bono the spoke of the “Ayrian Potential” the Swedish people seemed to be seeking.

From The Local:

The Irish rock frontman Bono mocked the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats as Nazis from stage in Paris on the night of Sweden’s elections.

In the guise of Macphisto, a sort of Irish version of the Faustian devil Mephisto, the rockstar twice performed a Nazi salute as he barked out “Åkesson!”, the surname of the Sweden Democrats’ leader Jimmie Åkesson.

“He’s done so well in the election today,” the devil character then drawled. “I love elections. I love balloons. I love… parties that get out of hand.”

“It appears the Swedes are beginning to discover their Aryan Potential. Oh yes!” he said.

Henrik Gustafsson, the Sweden Democrat’s press chief, said he was not surprised at the attack.

“When Swedish celebrities obviously do not have a reality-based view of us and our party, it’s no wonder to me that the situation is even worse for a person like Bono,” he said.

Macphisto was one of three characters Bono conceived for the band’s Zoo TV tour back in 1992, and then used to make satirical statement and prank shows to local politicians, employing an exaggerated upper-class English accent.

In Paris on Sunday, Macphisto also had a dig at the Swedes in general.

“I’m just back from Sweden. I didn’t know how much I liked the Swedish,” he says. “Tall, blonde, blue-eyed… boring.

He then waved his hand in front of his mouth in an exaggerated yawn.

Call them Islamonazis for supporting jew hating muslim jihadis. They are worse than nazis as they support muslim who have killed more than 270 Million and counting and held to account because they pretend to be “religion”

Crooks and pro-jihadi criminals all around.

CNN and MSM canonises Mc Cain while Egyptian media expose him for being Leading supporter of Muslim Brotherhood in America and Middle east https://tinyurl.com/y9hk3dpk

According to Bono … anti-rape, anti-crime, anti-barbarian, anti-hate, anti-supremacism = Nastie.

In other words, Bono is a Nastie person.

No surprise. His music has signaled his hatred and bigotry and racism since the beginning.

Can’t stand him or the noise he makes.

Looking and hearing Bono at the same time makes me puke. Admittedly, I have not listened to him for a long time, and it si going to be longer. He is the quintessential dip-wad.

Seriously, that little thing is a paddy-mic, AKA “inside out n–ger”, what else is to be expected? Think about that little thing (bono), it comes from the land where mohammedanism is the second MOST practiced religion … and the paddy-mics can NOT wait to bring in ANOTHER million moslem terrorists.
Again, that inside-out’s actions, considering what it is, were to be fully expected.

So what is wrong with Sweden wanting to maintain its Swedishness? I have never had the privlidge of visiting Sweden….but when I do, I WANT to see blonde haired, blue eyed people. I want to hear the Swedish language and immerse my self in their culture. I WANT to pretend that I AM Swedish. So what?! If I want to see women with their heads and faces covered, if I want to get groped and fear for my life and the life of my daughter because of the way that I am dressed or the fact that I’m out in public without my husband, and eat halal and hear the ear piercing call to prayer BLASTED multiple times during the day, shocking me from a peaceful afternoon siesta….then I will go to some shithole Middle Eastern country! Because THAT is how THEY like to live!!! Me….I believe “When in Rome…do as the Romans”!!! And if you don’t like it and REFUSE to assimilate….then DON’T COME!!! No one is asking you to come to our countries!!!! We don’t need you and your ideological kind!!!! These people ruin EVERY country they take over!!! What makes you think it won’t happen to yours!! Sweden…and the culture that you know and love will cease to exist if you do not TAKE your country BACK!!! All you have to do is look at history and how Islam has destroyed country after country in the name of their barbaric antiquated ideology !!!

I agree 99.9%. ” No one is asking you to come ….”. That’s just it though, isn’t it. Elites and politicos are asking them to come ; in fact, the EU/UN have signed trade agreements ( Barcelona and Marrakech Agreements ) with North Africa and Middle Eastern countries that are essentially trade deals with substantial immigration components that dwarf present ” immigration ” numbers.
These two agreements are already in effect. The ” refugee ” status is only applicable to a very small percentage of these people ; the rest are welcomed ” invaders “. Consider your brief, but accurate account of Islamic history/invasion ; to anyone with a brain, allowing them in is suicide. It’s not conjecture – it’s a fact, demonstrated time after time. So why are the educated, political leaders in so many countries, outright betraying their own nations and lying to the people.
Enter EU/UN Agenda 21 – ” The white Judeo/Christian European has no claim to Europe and will not continue it’s dominance going forward ” ( EU top diplomat ). If that’s not a declaration of war or intent to war, then what else could it be. They have sold many the ” white ” guilt and shame, and it has permeated society at every level. Being white is akin to being a Nazi. Criticizing ” immigration ” is akin to Nazism. Wanting secure borders, wanting to maintain your culture and national identity, objecting to barbaric customs …., you get the picture. Demonize your target and the sheep will become your unwitting army along with hordes of young men steeped in a violent ideology with no connection whatsoever to the host country.
Make no mistake, the ones behind all this have put everything into this agenda, and have spent decades planning and scheming out of the public eye. They have every intent to proceed and will stop at nothing to squash any and all attempts to derail their efforts.
In the story of the woman and the snake, who was really the more dangerous. The snake did what a snake does – it was the woman who had the choice. The difference with this and our ” leaders “, they know the snake, and they hope, nay, they are counting on him to bite.

It isn`t that they come to these countries for a better life they go there because they are on a mission its called RP&P / conquest that is what it`s all about assimilation is not at all in their plan , and the only assimilation will be for those countries they migrate into , soon those countries will look like the delightful places they left no countries leaders could be that stupid as to not know what is going down there leaders have sold out to it . New leadership in imperative .

Try me. Bono has critisised Swedish Democrats for being anti immigration in recent elections. He has intimated they ( the Swedes ) are Nazi’s for having an anti immigration party ‘do ‘well’ in the recent elections. Bono, by making such accusations, has strongly suggested Swedes should not be concerned about Islamic immigration. That is the theme I read in all comments. How do you interpret the article.

Can’t these as*holes just do a show and sing like they were paid to do. I would demand a refund if I were at that show and had to listen to that dreck. Isn’t the whole point of going to a concert to get away from sh*t like that in the first place?

Another Leftist moron demonizing those who are trying to save their country from destruction by Islam. He just made an idiot out of himself and I’m sure he’s lost support of his more intelligent fans. Artists need to know their limits and most of them are clueless on politics. There is nothing edgy or brave about smearing freedom-fighters.

Bono why don’t you ever denounce Muslims who engage in gang-rapes or terrorism, like Bataclan, Pulse Nightclub, 9/11 or Ariana Grande’s concert? I’ve never heard you make noises about how evil Islam is, I wonder why? Why don’t you burn a Quran to stand up for freedom of expression? You’re just virtue-signalling and picking on people who you know would never attack you. You’re the real evil clown here, not the Sweden Democrats.

Remember all those actors and celebrities that were swooning about Venezuela and how wonderful the Chavez socialist govt. was solving all the people’s problems and how Chavez was sharing the oil wealth with the poor and downtrodden. All the great socialist govt programs solving society’s problems and lifting up the poor, what a great thing Venezuela was doing. Now they don’t say much other than that the Venezuela leaders did not do real socialism and became corrupted. Time to try it again all over somewhere else. Sweden has destroyed itself with their invitation to muslims to take over their country, but Bono is clueless about the whole thing.
