[|NYT Article on the politics of being 'articulate']

[|LPGA says "English Only!"]

[|NDR Extra 3] This is a link to a youtube clip of NDR's (North German TV's) Extra 3. Extra 3 is a weekly satire, and they regularly make fun of the NPD, the latter day nazi party in Germany. What's the basis for making fun of them in this clip? What is the clip implying about being able to speak "high German" or standard German?
