This is a pretty funny sentiment -- Stormfront in fact links to Breitbart all the time.

If Stormfront linked to HN, then HN is a Stormfront front? This kind of logic is asinine. It's on the level of Nazis wear pants. You wear pants. You're a Nazi??

I didn't claim that BB is a "front" for Stormfront -- just that they're closely associated communities. But if Stormfront linked to HN all the time, yeah I'd probably try to figure out what about HN was so appealing to Nazis and change that.
If you dig into either source, I think you'll find a lot more in common along ideological lines than liking pants.
