Supporters of Sarah Palin's Senate Candidate Carry Assault Rifles in Parade
Supporters of Joe Miller--the U.S. Senate candidate supported by Sarah Palin in Alaska--carried assault rifles and wore open side arms during a festive community parade this week, while young children marched alongside them.

Miller is running in the GOP primary against incumbent Republican US Senator Lisa Murkowski, a far more popular figure in Alaska these days than Palin, who quit her position as governor a year ago amidst a series of ethics scandals and an impending override of her federal stimulus veto.

Footage of the event, located on Youtube and at the website of noted Alaska blogger Andrew Halcro, shows a handful of potbellied Miller supporters behind a black Humvee openly brandishing weapons at the Bear Paw Festival, a popular community celebration held annually in Eagle River and Chugiak (located north of Anchorage along the Old Glenn Highway on the way to the Palins' home town of Wasilla). The five-day festival includes a "Teddy Bear Picnic," barbecues, music and a historical fair.

Personally as a gun owner I think the guy with the tactical thigh holster looks like a tactical weenie.

2. Tea bags who try to hook Obama to Hilter have got it damn wrong
When you look at all the old pictures, when you see the way Nazi storm troopers acted you see the similarity applies to the tea bags and the republicans. Where did these people come from, how are these five republican activist creeps ever gain control of the supreme court.

4. Of course they do, it's illegal to display what the rifles are their substitutes for.
