The march, organised by the Ku Klux Klan earlier this month, was taking place near the capital building in the city of Columbia when local resident Matt Buck spotted them.
Mr Buck took out his sousaphone - an instrument very similar to a marching tuba - and began playing a comical, lumbering tune to make them sound as stupid as possible.
"I didn't really know how to show my opposition, so that was my way of doing it," Mr Buck told the Charleston City Paper.
"My goal was to embarrass them, and I think I did a little bit."

And it was funny!! People remember funny!
Thank you for showing us how, Mr. Buck.

(57,936 posts)the flagwavers were NAZIs. I think that is it.
They play that exam week at CalTech -- wake the dorms up with that tune played loud and clear.
But it is appropriate to accompany a march of NAZIs. I could be wrong about that tune, but I think I am right.

(29,109 posts)I think it's a parody of the warrior ethos, but the Nazi connection works, too. It is quality sarcasm.

(23,664 posts)With an effing sousaphone? It isn't like you can just pull the thing out of your pocket.
Was he looking for an opportunity to ridicule these fools or is he just a sidewalk sousaphonist who was in the right place at the right time?

Looked like something that you'd see in a cartoon. What a sloppy looking bunch too.
Thanks.

(135,425 posts)It would completely ruin any "seriousness" or "threatening" character in their strut!
MADem
(135,425 posts)You can bring that tune into Macho's Manly Men-Men-Men Muscle Gym, start playing it, and you'll see some inadvertent strutting and posing--it's almost like an involuntary response!!!!
You are seriously cracking me up.
