Neo-Nazi rally in Tennessee draws far more protesters than supporters


A Neo-Nazi rally in Tennessee was outnumbered by hundreds of counter-protesters Saturday afternoon.

A few dozen members of the National Socialist Movement held an anti-immigration rally at the Hamilton County Courthouse in Chattanooga, but the Times Free Press reported a few hundred people came out to counter-protest.

The members heckled the neo-Nazi supporters from across the street as authorities separated the protesters with an orange barricade.

Chants included "Hey, hey, ho, white supremacy has got to go" and "Nazis go home," the newspaper reported.

Another man heckled the Swastika flag-waving members over their lack of participants.

These idiot rallies won't get so much coverage from our liberal media if there's a chance they will show the neo nazis being humiliated by a much larger crowd of counter protestors.

but if any of these punk assed bubbas waved a Nazi flag in my face I would unleash a torrent of pedal torpedos on their Johnsons that would make medical history books.

Though, I have to say, they would stand a better chance than the Klan.
