Tacoma billboard warns of Nazi neighbors

#1 Post by Bob Juch » Fri Jul 13, 2018 10:59 am

TACOMA, Wash – A new billboard in South Tacoma is raising eyebrows – not for what it’s selling, but for the message that it’s trying to send.

A group called Tacoma Against Nazis paid to erect a billboard along Pacific Avenue to fight what it sees as white supremacy encroaching into their neighborhood.

The organization says its group of about 100 people have been fighting against a local business they believe has ties to white supremacy. And while for now it’s just the billboard, the group promises to become more active in their fight against injustice.

Still, until all feel welcome in Tacoma, Knigge says her group will continue their fight against prejudice.
How does this sign make the Nazis feel welcome?

Tacoma doesn't seem to be home to quite as many nutjobs as Seattle, but I guess some of them are migrating south. I'd like to see what their 'evidence' is, if they have any.

As Minister Of Propaganda, I clearly feel very unwelcome by my new neighbors in Tacoma. Especially after all of the new jobs I have created building my planned concentration camp, where the sponsors of this billboard will be sent once it is complete!

Kudos to trump for farming his concentration camp plans out to the private sector. This will save the taxpayers a lot of money.

What evidence? That there were handbills that included a link to a 'white supremacist' website? What website? I'd like to see what they consider a 'white supremacist' website before I make any conclusion.

I've never known Trump to say that there was something funny about assuming an African-American man would kill his white cellmate.

This is where I casually mention that Ms. Tami Lynn K. formerly of Tacoma Washington (at least according to her area code) recently agreed to marry me. Having spent most of her life in Washington State she moved to the Sandlapper State where she fell in with a bad crowd and this is the result. She has indicated the commies outnumber any remanant of neo-Nazis in the Tacoma area.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Don't let odd stories like this distract you from the real Nazis out there.

Not this one. Hillary is why Trump won Florida, and a number of other key states. You and your fellow rabids simply cannot accept the fact that your candidate was considered more flawed than even a problematic Trump, to the point that voters in those key states, who apparently voted Dem for the two previous presidential election, couldn't stomach her.

Just curious, but aren't you just a little bit concerned about all the Russian activity that has been uncovered in regard to the election, or do you just consider that more fake news and sour grapes?

I'm not stupid enough to believe it hasn't been done for decades, at least; naive enough to think we don't do the same in other countries, or weak-minded enough to cling to it as another excuse for Hillary's loss. So that would be a "no."

SSS,

Stop tying this to Secretary Clinton's loss. You're just enabling whataboutism.

Here's the issue. A hostile foreign government directly intervened in our elections, even going so far as to attempt to directly interfere with our election infrastructure. That same hostile foreign government is continuing and amplifying its efforts. The hostile government's favored candidate won and is taking official actions that directly support long-held foreign policy goals of the hostile foreign power, actions that are having and will continue to have an obvious long-term deleterious effect on the interests of the United States.

The hostile government's favored candidate (now the incumbent) is doing as little as he can get away with to interdict the hostile foreign government's efforts to interfere in future U.S. elections, has refused to implement sanctions against the hostile foreign government that passed Congress by a veto-proof majority, and is about to meet privately with the hostile foreign government's leader.

The hostile foreign government's influence operations have succeeded to such an extent that it has essentially captured one of our country's two major parties, making it all but impossible for a candidate of that party to survive a primary without acquiescing in the hostile foreign government's influence operations. What's worse, that party's office holders have made the collective decision that they would rather preserve their political power than effectively oppose the favored candidate's harmful foreign policy and domestic positions. A number of those office holders are trying to end an independent investigation designed to ascertain the exact extent of the hostile foreign government's interference in our elections and the extent to which American citizens, including the favored candidate's campaign staff, knew of, solicited, and cooperated with the hostile foreign government's actions. A prominent office holder of the favored candidate's party successfully opposed efforts to publicize the hostile foreign government's efforts prior to the election (which might have reduced their success) by threatening to claim the disclosure was a political stunt. We now know, of course, that it was in fact a very real attack on our democracy. That's the issue. --Bob
