PARIS, May 1 (Reuters) - Three bare-breasted women making Nazi salutes disrupted a May Day speech by French far-right leader Marine Le Pen as she accused her political rivals of failing to tackle immigration and radical Islam.

The women from the Femen activist group, with "Heil Le Pen" and "Stop Fascism" written on their breasts, chanted anti-National Front slogans from the balcony of a five-star hotel room overlooking the stage, to boos from the crowd.

It was the second interruption to Le Pen's attempt to address hundreds of National Front (FN) supporters in central Paris. Earlier her father Jean-Marie, the party's founder, unexpectedly took to the podium to cheers despite a party disciplinary procedure against him over controversial comments about World War Two.

When will people learn that trying to silence people you don't like in ridiculous ways makes YOU look like an asshole?  Even if you're attractive and topless (though that does help).  It's sad that it seems to be the primary tactic of a lot of people of a certain stripe.

I don't always agree with Femen, but they are huge FFs for this. The fact that a fascist is even giving a May Day speech is disgusting.

I'm offended that their breasts are censored.

I don't like it either, but I decided to post a censored boobs picture this time.

Otherwise the Forum prudes would have made a big drama out of it again and called on me to go back into the basement and finish carving my Grumpus-mask ...

Is that a Forum-specific version of Krampus that looks like Grumps?

There are several fascist movements in France. The FN isn't one of them.
