Scuffle Ensues when Neo-Nazis Unfurl Hitler Flag at Tea Party Rally

[onehandle]

PHOENIX, AZ -- A scuffle ensued Saturday when members of the National Socialist Movement (Neo-Nazis) found themselves shut out of an anti-immigration Tea Party protest at the Phoenix capitol.

American Citizens United, who organized the Phoenix Tea Party rally, told the Neo-Nazi group that racist messages were not welcome at the demonstration. The Neo-Nazis left, but two returned, standing defiantly on the sidewalk that borders the designated protest area.

When JT Ready, one of the Neo-Nazis tried to unfurl an Adolf Hitler flag, one of the event organizers became enraged and tried to rip the flag from Ready's hands. The other Neo-Nazi was holding a Confederate flag and a sign that read, "Bring our soldiers home, and put them on the Mexican border." Ready responded by shoving the organizer, sending him tumbling to the ground several feet away.

Police quickly intervened, and no one was hurt.

Why do teabaggers want to keep their true feelings in the closet?

It's ok, teabaggers. Be yourselves.

[rfranklin]

1. The Nazis do seem to be in tune with the Teabag sentiments...

Where did they go wrong?

[ret5hd]

2. I think you got it backwards

[FBaggins]

6. It's a common error.

People (on both sides of the political spectrum) often associate their opponents with "Ultimate Political Evil (tm)"... which naturally means that they get compared to the Nazis.

We should be careful of this type of claim, because it's rarely accurate.

[ret5hd]

7. So it's an error to compare on e group of xenophobic racist fascists...

with another group of xenophobic racist fascists?

[Better Believe It]

9. If you really don't know what a fascism is and is just name calling, yes it is an error.

[ret5hd]

10. But I do.

[FBaggins]

14. Yes

Unless you're willing to have one group that wants government control over some parts of the economy compared with another group that wants government control over some parts of the economy.

The simple fact is that tha Nazis had characteristics that match both parts of today's right with today's left. That's simply how you GET virtually overwhelming support from a public open to propaganda... you hit on the things that both sides hate and you feed that hatred.

[Madrone]

16. Where did they go wrong?

They used the word "socialist." No self-respecting teabagger's gonna hang out with no socialist liberal Obama lover!!!!11!

:rofl:

[peekaloo]

3. Hey you got fascism in our socialism. No you got socialism in our fascism!

Rhesus feces.

[Subdivisions]

8. Rofl! DUzy!

[Bobbie Jo]

12. LMAO...2nd that!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Usrename]

19. Roflmao!

OMFG!!!

:rofl:

[DBoon]

4. the Nazis should know better

only authorized racist statements are allowed

[sinkingfeeling]

5. You're known by the company you keep. I hope Americans wake up to the fact that the GOP

has been aligning itself with far right extremists for decades.

[Renew Deal]

11. They showed too much too soon.

:shrug:

[Ineeda]

13. Real Nazism is offensive but their Obama-is-a-Nazi signs are free speech?

[FBaggins]

15. BOTH are free speech

and both are offensive.

[Ineeda]

18. Yes, both are. I was referring to teabaggers being offended

when faced with their own tactics.

[Mari333]

17. true colors show themselves!

they just didnt like looking in the mirror when that flag showed up.

[guitar man]

20. LOL

I can hear them now... "Shhhh!!! You idiots, you're going to give it away!!"

:rofl:

[petronius]

21. I'm surprised - I would have expected the scuffle to be baggers fighting over

who was next in line to wave the flags. Guess this is a more PR-savvy bunch of baggers...
