Is there any connection to these images?

[AmerDem]

you see here skinhead types making crucifixes from campaign memorabilia but notice these guys are wearing the same shirt with a symbol? Recently I read here so called Christian flags are becoming all the rage amongst the lunatic right.





Any connection?

[SoCalDem]

1. I doubt it, but with this crowd..who knows..n/t

:(

[Ripley]

2. They have a really dumb website.

There are more pictures of Kerry on the front page than Smirky. However, they do have that oh so sincere picture of the Boy King dressed up as Ronald Reagan with a cowboy hat on.

Just another whacko faction.

[AmerDem]

6. Who are "They"?

Can you provide a link? Thanks!

[Ripley]

8. Look at the white cross in the picture...

[AmerDem]

10. Where are you going with this?

Can you be anymore cryptic?

[Ripley]

11. Huh?

I'm honestly not trying to be cryptic. You asked who "they" were in my post above. I said "they" were I assume supporters of the website that is written on their phallic balloon they are holding (the one that is made of two white balloons). I gave you a link to that site to show what it looks like.

What is so cryptic about that?

[AmerDem]

12. well for starters ..

You gave the website of the shrub. I think it was a given that "they" support the shrub.

My entire post centered on who "they" were and if "they" had a connection to the far right fruit cakes. I don't see how that is so hard to miss!

Now do you see how cryptic you were?

[Ripley]

13. Okay.

I didn't realize the Stupidhead has such a stupid website, I thought it was just the cross-holders freaky site.

Anyway, I don't know what your not getting.

[AmerDem]

14. That site is paid for by Bush/Cheney!

get it! Fucktards in this world!

[Ripley]

15. Are you calling me a Fucktard?

I really think that is unneccessary since you are purposely being obtuse and trying to make my original post to be about more than it is.

3. Why are they using condoms to make crosses?

That is my question...

[deutsey]

5. I thought they were missiles at first.

Either way, weirdly phallic.

[klook]

33. They're suppositories n/t

[deutsey]

4. I think that flag has been around a while

I remember it as a kid from when I was a United Methodist back in the '70s.

[AmerDem]

7. It has been around a while BUT

More or less recently it has becoming very popular to display it or so said a thread here at DU on the subject!

[deutsey]

9. Probably one of the reasons I'm no longer a United Methodist

:evilfrown:

[AmerDem]

19. I don't blame you deutsey!

It's as if this flag is being used as a some kind of modern day swastika. At least that is how I take it!

[Shallah Kali]

24. cross as replacement for swasticka?

If it is I would think they are trying to find a way to signel that they are a group without setting off alarms among those who oppose hate groups.

[AmerDem]

29. It seems more of a case ....

were they would like minded believers to start using such flags and for those that wont, well that will show who is with them and who is against them.

There was post here at DU a couple weeks ago that went into this new Christian flag hanging thing.

[Shallah Kali]

17. can anyone guess what the text under the cross on the shirts say?

?

[Shallah Kali]

40. Still hoping someone can id the text on the t-shirts

so the group itself can be tracked down.....

[NervousRex]

18. I don't know if there is a connection, but...

Some point should be made that skinhead/white power types are showing up at invitation-only Bush "Nuremberg" Rallies. The tattoo on the Charles Manson Jr. wannabe appears to be the most widely known white-power symbol this side of the swastika, according to adl.org. It would be a coup to ID this freak and find out which group he belongs to...then shout it from the rooftops.

[AmerDem]

20. can you post a link

on this tattoo you know about. from the pic I can't make it out too well. Thanks

btw, I agree! If these skinheads regularly appear at shrubs gathering something has to be said in a big way!:toast:

[NervousRex]

22. Here ya go...

It's a Celtic cross or Odin's Cross, but somehow I doubt this psychopath is merely demonstrating his Irish-pride.

[AmerDem]

23. That's it! Many Thanks Nervousrex!

Here is some info from the site;

This is one of the most popular symbols for neo-Nazis and white supremacists. First popularized by the Ku Klux Klan, the symbol was later adopted by the National Front in England and other racists such as Don Black on his Web site, Stormfront, and the racist band Skrewdriver to represent international "white pride." It is also known as Odin’s Cross. It is important to note that the Celtic Cross is used widely today in many mainstream and cultural contexts. No one should assume that a Celtic Cross, divorced from other trappings of extremism, automatically denotes use as a hate symbo

25. Caption: "How can we keep these vinyl thunderstick-crosses LIT?"

A new challenge for for *-loving fundie radicals.

BTW, there is white text under those red t-shirt symbols.

Where was this rally staged?

[AmerDem]

30. Minnesota

and from what I understand, Minnesota is home of the second largest neo nazi group in the country. I was kind of shocked by that, I figured that title would have been out of the south.

[NervousRex]

32. You've got it.

Being a resident of this state, I wanna ID this jaggoff, and spread the word that invite-only Bush events are attended by Neo-Nazis.

[Lindacooks]

26. They sure look like skinheads to me

and it certainly makes sense, since Repukes are racist.

[AmerDem]

28. they are skinheads!

The tattoo on the nitwits arm shows that to be the case. I'm sure the turnout of skinheads in south for shrub are alot higher!

[DrWeird]

27. I hope those balloons are filled with helium.

Because if it's hydrogen those people are going to get hurt when they try to burn them.

[Baja Margie]

31. I have this really

radical neighbor who says we should shoot them first, before they shoot us. Hmmmmm......

[tom_paine]

34. Connections to THESE images

[AmerDem]

35. one and the same!

4 more years of this fascist fuck and you will see those same picture but with more familiar faces.

[NervousRex]

36. and this one....

[AmerDem]

39. Who are they supposed to be?

GOD's pigfuckers? I hope each and every one of those evil fucks are burning in the hell they have created!

[Generic Other]

37. Are those crosses made out of prestologs?

They look like those long-burning kind.
