- Haptick, on 06/21/2009, -4/+243Wow, who would have thought that government can actually be clever in a non-douchebag way? Kudos to those State Officials in Missouri who made this happen. Now Grandpa Simpson will finally have cause to recognize your state!
- ethanator1088, on 06/21/2009, -8/+181I Heart Irony!
- seltaeb4, on 06/22/2009, -2/+171Why is there a picture of Adam from Mythbusters? Why is he wearing Jamie's hat?

- darthjure, on 06/22/2009, -5/+112"The group’s Web site calls for a nation where “only those of pure White blood” who are not Jewish or gay can be citizens."
Pure white blood? Seriously? There's no such thing. I'd like to see a blood test that tries to determine who has pure white blood. - jcsoc, on 06/21/2009, -6/+109Illinois Nazi's, I hate Illinois Nazi's!
errr, Missouri - Splicernyc, on 06/22/2009, -3/+90Teacher says, "Every time a Nazi fails, an angel gets his wings".
- inactive, on 06/22/2009, -17/+97I remember a similar case with the KKK. They could not legally discriminate based on organization, so they had to give it to them. They then renamed the road to the "Rosa Parks Freeway", and I can only assume they have the old knights in hoods go out there every once in a while and keep her highway clean.
- zslice, on 06/22/2009, -1/+78for some reason I think conducting a blood-alcohol test at 10:00 am may reveal the type of citizens they are looking for.
- plugy, on 06/21/2009, -4/+71haha..ha...HAHAHA
- inactive, on 06/22/2009, -5/+64I remember another similar case based out of Missouri, where the National Socialist Movement had their road renamed to a prominent Jewish Rabbi. I remember that because it was in the article I just ***** read, same as your story.
- snagglefoof, on 06/22/2009, -1/+57“all non-Whites currently residing in America be required to leave the nation forthwith and return to their land of origin: peacefully or by force."
I wonder how these neo-nazis feel about Native Americans. - CressCrowbits, on 06/22/2009, -1/+55Yes. Yes this was in the article. We know.
- CressCrowbits, on 06/22/2009, -0/+51I'll tell you who has pure white blood - the androids in the Alien movies.
Although there's is more a creamy yellow colour. - CanIGetAWitness, on 06/22/2009, -1/+49Ok, I'll say it, my blood is red.
/doh - StanleyKoolPrik, on 06/22/2009, -2/+47Just a word of advice: Never use Hitler to help promote your agenda, no matter what.
- CeeAyy, on 06/22/2009, -3/+37Because your statement is just ignorant and not about hate I'll be relatively nice. I don't think you intend the harm you cause.
There are three huge problems with your post...
1. European is not a race, it's an identity based on location.
2. White is not a race. It is an identity based on lacking melanin pigmentation. That's like grouping and judging cars by their paint color. It doesn't make sense with cars and it doesn't make sense with people.
3. Human life did not start in Europe and therefore you can't have 100% pure European blood even if the idea made sense... which it doesn't. - joemofo214, on 06/22/2009, -0/+34The first to roam the lands of the United States became what we know today are the Native Americans. They adopted their land and it became theirs. The English and Spanish alike came over and destroyed the homes and lives of millions. The reason why they are called Native Americans is because this was their home first. We draw the line, as you put it, when the Ice Bridge between Russia and Alaska melted and the only ones possible of being on this continent was the Native Americans.

"Racism is man's gravest threat to man - the maximum hatred for a minimum reason."
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Joshua_Hesche ... - SystemicThought, on 06/22/2009, -3/+35I got 99 problems but appearing to promote neo-nazis in a positive light ain't one.
- AndrewRidgely, on 06/22/2009, -0/+30Yeah you're right he probably didn't even know about the concentration camps, or that Jews, Gypsies, and gay people were getting killed there. It wasn't like he was a power-hungry micromanaging megalomaniac, involved in every detail or anything. I mean, he might have been bad but he was no Hitler...
- inactive, on 06/22/2009, -3/+32But the state isn't promoting hate or discrimination, that's the clever part.
- sciencelovesyou, on 06/22/2009, -0/+28Yes, that's the reason people hate Hitler, his economic policies. That was why he was so evil. It was the economics.
- inactive, on 06/22/2009, -3/+30Heh. They may have free speech, but that doesnt stop the rest of us from non-violently ***** with them. Good show, gentlemen.
- inactive, on 06/22/2009, -4/+31I can only imagine the laughter emanating from the state offices when they came up with this.
- inactive, on 06/22/2009, -2/+29If people wouldn't throw ***** out of their windows and litter we wouldnt have this problem at all.
- mountain1488, on 06/22/2009, -0/+25Adolf-a-Highway
- MixMastaKooz, on 06/22/2009, -0/+24That's not the first time Missouri has done this. South of St. Louis, the KKK adopted a stretch of Interstate 55. Missouri renamed that stretch the Rosa Parks Memorial Highway.
- AndrewRidgely, on 06/22/2009, -0/+23This is such a perfectly formed troll. There's no other explanation. Noone is actually this crazy.
But just in case: 1) Most currencies (including the US dollar) were backed by precious metal in the 40s, and 2) Hitler was bad because he invaded nearby countries and killed millions of people in concentration camps, not because of his monetary policy. - TDDebug, on 06/22/2009, -5/+27pwned!
- smedrick, on 06/22/2009, -1/+23ITA: Trolls trolling trolls.
- ManUnitdFan, on 06/22/2009, -1/+22http://s570.photobucket.com/albums/ss141/paperclip ...
- 0tis, on 06/22/2009, -1/+21The question is, are they now obliged to clean it?
- srs2000, on 06/22/2009, -13/+33Yeah because there is no difference between wanting the laws of the country enforced VS wanting indiscriminate killing of people based on someones religion.
- CeeAyy, on 06/22/2009, -1/+19You missed the point where the state decided not to discriminate by letting them adopt the highway. You missed the point where the state didn't say nor do hateful nor hurtful things.
What is unprofessional about renaming a highway? What is disrespectful about that? Who is being discriminated against by renaming it? - sirbeta, on 06/22/2009, -0/+16The fact that someone else actually dugg fucter is amazing. I hope that was just a misclick. (edit: after I post this, I see that second digg is mysteriously gone. That's what I thought.)
- Gguillorn, on 06/22/2009, -7/+22The ***** headline is a pretty clear example of irony. Why don't you read it again? It was unexpected and the opposite of what would normally happen.
- chukka87, on 06/22/2009, -2/+17MUWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!! :D
- amoirae, on 06/22/2009, -1/+16With their tongues.
- paidhima, on 06/22/2009, -3/+17@gthreepwood2009 and ru1dt:
You're viewing it too superficially. Rather than look for irony in the renaming of the road, see the irony that is there. The group took part in the adopt-a-highway program for (probably) one of two reasons:
1. To get their name out on the road and get exposure/support.
2. For the point they thought would be made when (they assumed) the state would decline their application. That point being of the "it's ok when <insert pro-minority group here> adopts a highway, but not when we do it" variety.
The ironic part of the story is that the result was in direct opposition to their intended outcome. Their application was not declined, and rather than gain support they have been soundly ridiculed. The outcome was highly ironic. - beloitpiper, on 06/22/2009, -2/+16I'm an atheist too, and if I adopted a highway and they renamed it "Jesus Christ Hwy" why would I care? I wouldn't adopt a highway for attention, I'd adopt it to help the community. What the ***** do I care what it's named?
- drmangrum, on 06/22/2009, -2/+15I agree with everything but that last paragraph. You can't deny free speech just because you don't agree with what they're saying. Hatemongers have the same right to voice their opinion as anyone else. You have the right to ignore them or protest them. Who is to decide which speech is "useful and contributes to society in a civilized way?" That's a slope you don't want to be on.
Free Speech has no caveats. - MasterTroll, on 06/22/2009, -0/+12Troll tolls would take its toll on a troll like myself.
- dynamojoe, on 06/22/2009, -0/+12They can't legally deny them. The Nazis (what's so ***** Neo about Naziism?) have freedom of speech and expression as well and the state can't discriminate against them unless specific criteria are met. I suppose them saying "kill the Jews" would meet that criteria, but they don't exactly say that.
NORML or NAMBLA or PETA could adopt a highway as they're legal orgs, even though many people don't like them for one reason or another. - Maddoktor2, on 06/22/2009, -1/+12Nazis are so ignorant...
- antipax, on 06/22/2009, -14/+25I disagree with you. I think the National Socialists worked the system to their benefit, so they can spread their message of racist propaganda and hate, while under the guise of providing community service. It's not uninterested service they're providing, they're not concerned about keeping the road clean. It's just so they can stand on the road with their swastika shirts and their printed slogans against blacks, jews, hispanics and gay people while the cars honk by. In that aspect, I think if they are trying to screw with the system to their advantage and given the hateful nature of their message, it is totally justified that the system screws back with them, to ridicule their efforts and possibly discourage them of pursuing similar strategies in the future.
I don't see what being an atheist has anything to do with this matter either. I'm an atheist, and I hardly mention that at all in my daily life or regarding my view of political or social matters. I don't see the point, as it is a personal development of my spirituality and I don't see how I need to use it to make my points come across. The existence of God, and the fact that I or you are atheists, is irrelevant to this topic at hand, in my view.
I don't think the Government is spreading discrimination and hate by re-naming the highway. Just as I don't think hatemongers should be given the same right of free speech and respect we give to groups who actually are useful and contribute to society in a civilized way. These groups serve no other purpose but to spread infectious ideas who have no real basis and their very formulation of these ideas is abhorrent towards respecting every other person as an equal. Why do you feel we should respect that? - NodOfficer, on 06/22/2009, -0/+11Jamie is going to be pissed.
- zuiquan, on 06/22/2009, -5/+16You're not a very well thought atheist my friend. Most atheists are critical thinkers and you really ought to bone up on your skills. The Neo-nazis are a hate group. Atheists don't hate people. You're comparing apples to ice cream. Both taste delicious but are not at all the same.
- jplevel, on 06/22/2009, -0/+11apostrophes!
- EffZee, on 06/22/2009, -7/+17You give a ***** what people think about what you believe? You're weak.
