It's about all they have left :) There's a law in France saying that media can't discuss campaign anymore two days from election, the idea being that debate time is over and it's now time for each citizen to take a step back from the heat of the campaign and calmly decide what they think is the best for the country (this is obviously something that doesn't work as well now we have internet). So far right activists only have foreign discussion threads as a mean to spread.
