Check your plates

A Virginia NASCAR fan’s vanity license plate was recalled by the state’s DMV after “motorists and Muslims groups complained that his Virginia vanity license plate…was really code for neo-Nazi, white supremacist sentiments.”
Douglas Story says his plate, 14CV88, was “an homage to the car numbers of his favourite NASCAR drivers: Tony Stewart, who drives car No. 14, and Dale Earnhardt Jr., who drives No. 88,” and that CV is common shorthand for “Sons of Confederate Veterans.”
Not so, according to Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) spokesman Ibrahim Hooper, who said “his group looked into the meaning of the numbers 14 and 88 after receiving complaints about Story’s license plates. He said the group found that among neo-Nazis, 88 refers to ‘Heil Hitler,’ because H is the eighth letter of the alphabet.”
Okay. So what about the 14?

White supremacists sometimes use the number 14, Hooper said, as shorthand for the 14-word motto, ‘We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.’

Story, who had a large anti-Islam sticker on the back of his Ford F-150 until he removed it, says “There is absolutely no way I’d have anything to do with Hitler or Nazis….My sister-in-law and my niece are Jewish. I went to my niece’s bat mitzvah when she turned thirteen three years ago…”
Three years ago?
Hmm….

  1. Yikes. The Chinese are going crazy with the 88 on the plates in Vancouver … seen one yesterday that said Heil Hitler Heil Hitler and a couple of letters. Lot of them like Heil Hitler on their house numbers also.

  2. A friend of mine had his vanity license plate taken away once.
    It was ‘1FASTMF’
    ‘One Fast Massey Ferguson’
    Why nobody believed him is beyond me but then, I don’t live in the big ciddy.

  3. See what happens when you shut down mental institutions and the inmates migrate to government jobs ??

  4. Sorry to hear that he was intimidated into changing his plates and removing the mural. It’s getting worse every day. It was hard tto hear the Tea Party being portrayed as a dangerous bigoted militia group again today on the msm news, and as your previous post states – Obama called out the Swat Team in Quincy against them.-to make a statement to be sure – it was a warning in my view.

  5. When they complained he should have said “Damn smart thats what it means and we have free speech here so if you don’t like it tough titty.”

  6. Let’s, for the sake of argument, say he is “racist.” Well then his only problem is that he is racist against the wrong race. If, as is seen commonly here in Vermont, he had a vanity plate that attacked “rednecks”, an identifiable racial group, he would be a hero. I once talked to a person at a party who had never heard the idea before that the terms “redneck”, and “white trash” were racist. There is a car around here with the bumper stickers “Coexist”, you know the one, and “shh I hear banjos” along with some anti Palin stuff.
    The real problem is that the hacks at the DMV count on Dems to raise their pay, and so any ally of the Dems is an ally of the DMV employees.

  7. Going after one person’s license plate is really a desperate move to get attention to a cause or movement. We better soon start to fight back before we have no freedoms left.

  8. About 15 years ago there was a big stink about Snapple. Word on “the street” was that it was owned by the Klan so a large part of the black population was boycotting it. Their proof was the K in a circle on the label. Of course any reasonably intelligent person would have done some research and would have discovered the K was for Kosher.

  9. I suppose the DMV didn’t want to be seen promoting racism, so their hands were tied on the licence plate thing. The people that reported him need to rethink. Personally, If someone has something against me and is willing to put it on their tailgate, I say let them. Know thy enemy.
    All he has left is to wear his white hood while driving around handing out David Duke pamphlets promoting the next book signing, I feel for the guy (note sarcasm)

  10. Gord,
    So I wonder whether there are boycotts of Circle K convenience stores….owned by the same people who own Mac’s Milk….that most Canadian of companies Couche Tarde. One of the few successful Canadian retail ventures in the US.

  11. Heh…outed on Facebook.(Gary @ 3:05)
    FB makes life so easy for investigative journalism.
    The number game is vague and distracting.
    His heart is revealed by the Nazi comments.

  12. Hitler was allied with Islam and the Grand Mufti as they both were against the Jewish people. Anyone who was pro Nazi would also be pro muslim you would think.

  13. Why don’t people push back against this poisonous PC? This guy is within his rights, he was arbitrarily convicted without trial. He should get a lawyer and cut the little PC wiggler at the DMV a new butt hole for arbitrarily damaging free citizens with this slanderous commie name calling.
    Every time you stand still for PC tyranny, they win.

  14. Who was it said the problem with standing up for free speech is that you occasionally find yourself protecting a$$holes?

  15. oysterboy, that was a racist comment. I am reporting this incident to the Human Rights Commission. There is no tolerance for such racist hate on this website.

  16. Right on grok. Is there some problem with having a red neck I should be aware of, oyster?
    NASCAR is racing for people who can only turn left. Lefties like oysterbutt should be all over it.

  17. “White supremacists sometimes use the number 14, Hooper said, as shorthand for the 14-word motto, ‘We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.'”

    ‘We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.’
    Sounds pretty reasonable to me.
    Count me in.

  18. I put this into “Reader Tips” last night, and I’m now sorry I did. His explanations seemed plausible to me.
    Yes, free speech means free speech even for a**holes, but they don’t need any free publicity, and I regret that I gave him even a little.

  19. T @ 11:15 AM:
    The reality of this group is it’s more anti A-hole than any other persuasion.
    That’s why you draw so much attention.

  20. Why doesn’t the government post what numbers are banned and racist for white people, so that they know?
    Every non-white immigrant group with the Canadian government should compile a specific list of what you can say and what you can do for each specific race and culture that is living in Canada. This would be very progressive, and should help the white Canadians not break any laws or hurt any feelings.
    The Chinese consider the number 88 lucky. We need to make it clear to all white Canadians that you must completely convert to Taoism or Buddhism before you can refer to it, by way of law. Interracial marriage will allow for some exceptions, providing you have signed approval from the majority of the non Caucasian extended family and subsequent court ruling.

  21. Dave April 30, 2010 9:02 AM had it right.
    Our sensitive come lately muslim friends were indeed big Hitler fans because Hitler murdered Jews. That is the same reason why Canadian muslims are enamored of the NDP, unions and university professors in the “soft knowledge” disciplines. If you are looking for a good Jew bashing, hang out with (most) muslims, the NDP, unions and professors such as the Regina 16. Don’t get me wrong; there are good Muslims and the good Muslims(pbut)are a more principled and courageous than I because they get beat up or even killed by “the other” muslims who unfortunately seem to be the in the majority.

  22. But heh, at least now no white people are not allowed to gather together without swat teams arriving on BO orders. They must now have 20% representative of blacks/hispanic to assemble publicly./
    After all any progressive can kill soldiers/white Americans on America soil now and POTUS doesn’t even blink an eye, nor shed a tear and can’t be bothered to attending any servicemen’s funerals but lots of time for golf. Calls white cops stupid, and they in turn have to act stupid on his commands.
    Does goes to ‘black peoples funerals’ though, guess that’s why he skipped his white granny’s funeral.
    Just pointing out what I’ve observed.

  23. Ontario took away my “MCGUINTY” license plate.
    They said it was “secret code” for teaching children about an*l s*x.

  24. If you really want a laugh just look up the examples of vanity license plates that are banned. most of them need a cryptologist to translate. bottom line is “victims” see what they want to see in whatever they want.
    Just how many numbers and letters are banned by the PC police anyhow. btw, I’m a fan of “Smoke” Stewart so does using Old Spice make me a racist? Who would have thought Eric Lindros was a klansman.
    Does an American atheist use American (In God We Trust) currency?

  25. “Canadian government should compile a specific list”
    They never will Knight99.
    You’re not suppose to know ahead of time what is NOT okay to say. Furthermore, it’s not necessarily important what you have said, but how what you’ve said has been perceived, or may be perceived by someone. What is even more interesting, is that the person being victimized doesn’t even need to know they’ve been victimized, so long as there is a white liberal present to be victimized by proxy.
    The bottom line Knight99, is that it’s not what you say or do that is the problem, it’s who you are(and me) that’s the problem.

  26. And don’t forget never .. ever say you are proud of being white.
    Uttering this comment or having this thought makes you a racist.
    Welcome to Obama and the UN’s world.
    AND if anyone was really listening, he said he was going to do this. That’s why he recieved the Nobel Peace Prize – marching orders from the international progressives – break America down until it’s a third world fragmented country.
    He’s here to kill America as it is and remake it according to HIS socialist agenda.

  27. Islam and Hitler were allies, I hate mini-vans can I get them removed from my sight or banned?

  28. my favourite on the back of some blondes car was

  29. Wow , wonder what CAIR and the DMV would have said if the mural had had a picture of Muhammed feeding his wife in a baby highchair.

    I suppose your right Indiana, silly me, just trying to help.
    In reality, we should all leave, save for the fact that no one would be around to pay for everything.
    Just another big Mumbai, only frozen for 6 months of the year.

  31. It would not surprise me the DMV itself is Muslim dominated by workers. Government jobs are only for the brown & Black .Racial Quotas come first.
    Now Islamists are looking for secret codes in normal peoples behavior. Send em back to the sands.
    This is just more BS harassment of our culture.
    To enforce their will on us. the more they get away with this type of insanity , the bigger the next flood of demands for us to change & them to become our Over lords.
