Clowns KKKick KKK Ass!
My apologies if this has been posted before...it was new to me, and put QUITE a smile on my face :)



Knoxville rejects Nazis and Klan.

Saturday May 26th the VNN Vanguard Nazi/KKK group attempted to host a hate rally to try to take advantage of the brutal murder of a white couple for media and recruitment purposes. http://www.volunteertv.com/special

Unfortunately for them the 100th ARA (Anti Racist Action) clown block came and handed them their asses by making them appear like the asses they were.

Alex Linder the founder of VNN and the lead organizer of the rally kicked off events by rushing the clowns in a fit of rage, and was promptly arrested by 4 Knoxville police officers who dropped him to the ground when he resisted and dragged him off past the red shiny shoes of the clowns. http://www.volunteertv.com/home/headlines/7704982.html


“White Power!” the Nazi’s shouted, “White Flour?” the clowns yelled back running in circles throwing flour in the air and raising separate letters which spelt “White Flour”.

“White Power!” the Nazi’s angrily shouted once more, “White flowers?” the clowns cheers and threw white flowers in the air and danced about merrily.

6. One of our activist DUers was explaining about these counter demos..
recently. They go out there and hold up signs that make no sense whatsoever. It's a great tactic.

10. Reminds me of the Church Ladies for Choice, who used to come to clinic blockades in DC
The anti-choice demonstrators had no idea what to think! They'd dress as the Church Lady, and say things like, "I see Jesus in my microwave, do you?"

It's a great counter-demonstration tactic, and really entertains as well!

Hats off!!
