While it would be theoretically nice from the angle of NPOV to find a neo-Nazi who could research and argue worth a damn, in practice being one seems to require being hard of thinking, and they are demonstrably unable to hold a coherent point in open debate on the Internet, hence retreating to boards like Stormfront, where they self-aggrandise to their hearts' content. A swarm of Vogels would be annoying but nothing beyond what we routinely deal with on a regular basis. I predict the very hardest part will be getting checkable references out of them and getting them to actually accept that 2+2=4 when presented with quality references from those who don't agree with them.
I don't think this is a particularly unique trait of neo-Nazis though, merely something common to many activist groups. Heck, I'm a member of several environmentalist organizations, and I'd argue that the description above applies to a large proportion of environmental activists, and I'd similarly have low hopes for a cadre of them successfully making NPOV edits to Wikipedia. The circumcision-related articles have tended to be a mess from both sides as well, including recruitment of activists from off-wikipedia mailing lists.
