Internet 1. Redneck racist 0

[CptStern]

Tragedy in America: A nice patriot from Virginia whose truck had a very patriotic paint job, has been stripped of his right to license plate free speech. The plates carried a coded White Power message, citing Hitler and David Lane.

We'd like to think Gawker partly responsible for this, as we picked up (along with many other blogs) the photo of a Ford F-150 with an "Everything I Need to Know About Islam I Learned on 9/11" theme on the back. That lovely message was joined by a Confederate flag and a license plate reading 14CV88.

Seems random enough, right? Aha, but it's not. As commenters on various blogs pointed out, there's a secret Nazi supremacist message in there. The 14 stands for the fourteen words of the cutesy old David Lane adage "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." The CV stands for "Confederate veteran," because apparently this truck owner is 172 years old. And the 8s stand for the eighth letter of the alphabet, H. Doubled together they are Heil Hitler. Yay, everyone!

Oh god, this comment on the article there is priceless too -

Oh dear, whatever will we do now about the poor beleaguered states' rights? And now, the dark hordes of wandering muslins (draped as they are in fabric most soft and fine) have gotten to first base with the great daughter of Liberty, the First Amendment, and despoiled her!! What if she liked it? What if the First Amendment found the muslins' dastardly embrace to be safe and even a little...cuddly? What if she found their warm Kenyan lips to be seductive and inviting?
Surely the valiant South will rise again to keep the First Amendment from goin' muslin, and face this imminent threat of furrehners and show them who's boss? Because after all, if it isn't a states' right to terrify and intimidate a dark-skinned furrehner, I dunno what is.

A single tear flows down Lady Liberty's cheek. Look what you did, liberals. You made Mommy cry. I hope you're happy.

I liked this comment:


"I think it was tacky of Ford to advertise on one of the towers."

This one is much worse:

I hate shit like that. Bumper sticker zealots make me uncomfortable. Doesn't matter what they say or what they are about. I hate bumper stickers, period.

I find myself filled with disgust at those people, but suddenly I am aware that I am a bigot when it comes to ideologies.

Of course, I use less demeaning words.

Eh.... How did they ever come to that conclusion? That's retarded.

Don't know about the rest, but the 88 thing is quite common in Neo-Nazi groups (well, at least according to Ross Kemp on Gangs)

 

[Tyguy]

Well, at least they're not creationist. Maybe they're even atheist.

Maybe Europe shouldn't have used North America as a dumping ground for all the intellectual detritus...

 

[Sheepo]

Ah yes, I dream of one day living in Europe, the flawless utopia that's completely devoid of ignorance, racism, and stupidity.

 

[Tagaziel]

We're not an utopia. But at least we don't have Westboro people or rednecks with pick ups pictured above.

Whatever floats your boat.
