Springfield Nazis get punked by the Jewish Community Relations Bureau

The Springfield, Missouri, chapter of the National Socialist Movement, a neo-Nazi organization, thought it would be cute to adopt a section of highway along West Bypass between Sunshine and Farm Road 142. MoDOT allowed them to put up a sign along the road bearing the group's name, and members and posed with it, Seig Heil-ing and whatnot (pictured). Afterward, they went home, put on their swastika-print jammies and drifted off to thumb-sucking sleep, secure in their white pride.

Then, along came the Jews to ruin everything.

The Jewish Community Relations Bureau, based here in KC, approached Kansas City Rep. Jason Holsman for ideas to counter the hate-group's highway sign. Holsman, in turn, suggested that Springfield Rep. Sara Lampe introduce a bill renaming the half mile of the West Bypass after a much-loved, modern Jewish theologian. Lampe sponsored the bill, and with another Springfield legislator, Rep. Bob Dixon, attached it as an amendment on a larger transportation bill that passed both Missouri houses. Now it awaits Gov. Jay Nixon's signature.

Soon, the Springfield Unit of the National Socialist Movement will be responsible for cleaning Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel Memorial Highway.

[MadHound]

22. Ah yes, Springfield Mo, the heart of Ashcroft country

I spent a few years in that town, one of the strangest, most right wing places I've ever been. There's a small community of liberals down there, but very small. I couldn't take it after four years and had to move to more sane climes.

This is the same town where a fourteen year old African American boy was dating a white girl. He was found strung up on a radio tower in the center part of the city, and though his hands were bound, it was called a suicide.

Nice to see these assholes get their comeuppance. Sadly, they'll probably just get their cooperating buddies in MoDOT to move their clean up spot to some other place. Either that, or some sympathetic local bureaucrat will conveniently "forget" to put up the sign for the Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel memorial Highway.

[proud2BlibKansan]

25. Speaking of MODot

What's up with the tenth of a mile mile markers on the highways in MO? How much did that cost and who got rich on that contract?? And why the hell does a state need a marker every tenth of a mile??

[MadHound]

31. That was the work of Boy Blunt,

I imagine it's some crony of his who got the contract. Yes, they're stupid, and if you look closely along I-70, they're not being replaced after getting taken out by a car or truck.

Some enterprising young reporter could have an interesting story if they followed that up, but as with Bushboy, I think that everybody in this state is so happy to see the Boy Blunder gone, they're just willing to let him and his crimes fade into oblivion.

[LeftishBrit]

23. Great!

[MrCoffee]

24. So much for the separation of church and state.

[proud2BlibKansan]

26. Maybe if you lived near these Nazis you would understand.

[ellisonz]

30. This is about love and tolerance.

[Warren DeMontague]

38. Didja hear? There's a Rev. Martin Luther King Day, too!

Holy fuck! Wow. And as an Atheist, I completely forgot to care, or be outraged.

Way to deliberately miss the point, dude. By a wide margin.

[LanternWaste]

41. If naming a stretch of highway after a Rabbi...

If naming a stretch of highway after a Rabbi violates your distinction of the separation between church and state, then I imagine for you to maintain intellectual consistency, you also feel that street and city names such as San Antonio, Saint James MO, Mississippi, and Martin Luther King Freeway are on the same plane of violation, yes?

[JonQ]

27. Hilarious! n/t

[ellisonz]

28. Owned.

As the grandson of Polish Jewish survivor and a World War I cook/railroad worker/farmer from Springfield,MO this makes me smile.

Punks. :o

[KamaAina]

29. PWNT!!!

:rofl:

[Ghost in the Machine]

32. Every one of you cheering about this would be wailing, gnashing your teeth and trying to sue someone

.. if it was a Liberal group who adopted the stretch of highway, just to have it renamed "Ronald Reagan Memorial Highway" or "George Bush Memorial Highway"....

just sayin'...

[Mopar151]

37. I'm with ya - but

You know the brain surgeons they're dealing with. Libs should be smarter (snark power!) and set out the Quayle Trashcans on the Senior Moment Highway.
Personally, I was hoping that the GWB sewer plant was appropriate, but, alas, it was a functioning sewer plant! Better we try to rename the Concord, NH sewer stinker The Cheney Gas Facility - despite million$ in repairs and reengineering, it belches clouds of noxious gas at odd intervals, like to gag a maggot!

[Warren DeMontague]

39. No, frankly, I'd be glad to see the highway cleaned, anyway.

They named a fucking Airport after Reagan, doesn't mean I think someone ought to trash it.

Anyway, these are Nazis, or at least wannabe Nazis. As someone with relatives who died in the camps, I can say that this goes beyond a mere political difference of opinion. They have a right to free speech and to express their opinion, but they're still a VERY special breed of fucking asshole.

[proud2BlibKansan]

43. Oh Kay
