Intrepid blog reporter David Weigel of the Washington Independent is so intent on getting himself murdered that he traveled all the way to Kentucky over the weekend for something called the “Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot.” You must check out all of his photos, here, but we simply want to note the mixed feelings these fellows have toward Nazis. Basically they love the Nazis, because they are Neo-Nazis, but they also hate the Nazis because Obama is a Nazi.
Yes, this is why we *love* Hitler too, idiots.
Haw haw haw.
Scenes from the Real America [David Weigel/Washington Independent]
It’s nice to see that the Nazis can use MasterCard.
C’mon, these folks are dyyyying for a Blingee.
They weren’t sure, so they just launched a pre-emptive Goodwin on all parties involved, themselves included.
Like there are no Palin relatives at this….
Of course we all know an American divorce kit is an automatic weapon and a hundred rounds of ammo. In other words, nearly everything else being sold at this event.
What the fuck are they doing with a 5.56mm Minigat? (Same weapon Jesse Ventura carried in Predator.)
All I see are a bunch of boneheaded wideloads who couldn’t squeeze into a standard issue tactical vest (do they even make an XXXXL tactical vest, er, mumu?)
Hopefully, they’re firing their guns in a circle.
Real America needs to cut down on the dumplings a bit. Fatasstrophe, indeed.
Ohhhh. So this is what a well regulated civilian militia looks like.
4tehlulz:
Buying authetic Bismark Helmet (the kind with the spike on top): $22.99
Spending weekend at machine gun rally: $149.99
Interacting with kindered spirits and chasing [*]s: Priceless
*fill in blank with preferred racist slur
i think kentucky should have a law that requires you to have more than three teeth before you are allowed to own a firearm.
…and why do their women look like little boys?
boy I’d hate to be a losing, say, basketball team? coming back to a town like Louisville. Sheesh.
30 USD to squeeze off 30 rounds from an old school Mac 10?
Glad I’m in Moscow. Srsly tho, these folks are smack down crazy!
Why is it that everytime I see the word “muslim” written out by hand somewhere, I think it is spelled wrong?
It’s pictures like these that make me wish that a cure for type II Diabetes is still a long way off.
I see the local Lubby’s Cafeteria did well over the weekend.
Bruno: You only had one empty blank?! FAIL!
Wow, I was just at PJMedia dropping a stinky message through their mail slot. Upon submitting it, I was advised that it was awaiting moderation. Which, of course, meant that there’s not a hope in hell it would survive.
And yet, voila:
Adolph III Wonkeratti:
Hey, could y’all remind me when the next cross burning is, ‘coz I didn’t get your Klan memo. Will Heinrich and Ludwig and the other National Socialists be there too, or just you true Aryan bluebloods?

The New Nazi Army: Too Stupid To Know When It’s Being Mocked
dcgrrl:
GO HUSKIES!!!
you know who else is a Nazi? David Denby. Also, on another note; these Neo’s do realize that the Nazi’s were essentially Socialists, right? Cause I don’t think they like that whole “sharing” thing.
The hypocrisy, the idiocy, the stupidity. It just saps me of snark. What, those kids are like 11 and wearing Nazi hats? I guess they’re are at least open with their blatant racism. And all the propaganda/merchandise steeped in this idiotic America/Freedoms/Constitution rhetoric that they then attach to guns and racism–it just boggles the mind. What is their perception of “America”? From the pictures all I get is a horrific nightmare post-apocalyptic future where we hunt our fellow man for food/sport.
Cape Clod: Clod! You onna tear today! +++1
Sweet Jeebus, these wackadoods make teabagging look like a good night peck on the cheek…
Hey, that’s the kid from D.A.R.Y.L… but shouldn’t he have aged? Damned Mengele and his genetic experiments.
dcgrrl: We got distracted by Coach Cal, and shiny objects, they should be fine.
Seriously, I am going to lose sleep over this. Generally Louisville is pretty civilized and you can forget that the crazies walk among you. Now I know they are out there. With their guns. Being bitter.
4tehlulz: or MasterRace Card
Ja, wir konnen!!
This must be the 25% that always thought Bush was doing a great job.
NoWireHangers:
norbizness: You guys sure that’s a boy? Kinda looks like Lyndie England.
In the fourth photo down, we can clearly see that they have a Vampire eradication plan printed up and ready to go, but what about the Zombies? WHAT WILL THEY DO WHEN THE ZOMBIES ATTACK!?? (also, i have it on good authority that there is a pack of NAZI Zombies about. What a conundrum that will be!)
Ich Ein Bin Kentucky
WTF.
Hitler used a teleprompter. True facts.
They Took Ours Jobs!
Capitol Hillbilly:
Heh!
These are the weapons necessary to hunt nature’s most dangerous game: man………..atee.
sevenrepeat: I think many of them would ask why do more women not look like little boys?
From an orbiting satellite, I’d bet this shindig is indistinguishable from an al-Qaeda training camp.
OK, maybe the width of the shadows people cast would give it away, but still.
So I guess that sayin Ich will schlafen mit schvartza fraulein wouldn’t be a good
idea?
i’m just guessing that all of these folks are irish on st. patrick’s day and german during oktober fest and passover. just a hunch.
Bomb Kentucky now.
…see children? This is why shouldn’t “play doctor” with your sister!
Today’s snark-free homework assignment: Go to the Holocaust Museum and see its excellent exhibit on propoganda throughout history. Better yet, take one of the kids in the photo so that they understand what they are participating in.
I really feel bad for the people that fought the Nazis in Germany and see these kids wearing officer hats in their own country.
I haz a sad for real Americans everywhere.
How is this not treason?
Swensson misspelled Soetero. Then again, all those wog names do sound alike.
BTW: Dollars to black talons, half the people there are DEA agents. The other half, FBI.
On a side note…
That Nazi child goes to a school in Kentucky, which is like full of black people.
I cant wait for Tuesday at 3:00, behind the baseball diamond.
Teh WHITE, it’s blinding!
To call these people stupid is to insult the cognitively challenged.
NoWireHangers: Maybe if they fire in a circle they could retire the Darwin Award.
I heart Overweight real Amuricuns and their Truck Nutz lovin ways. Machine guns, Nazi propaganda and good old fashioned racism oh my. USA! USA! USA!
I went to a gun show a few years back (in San Francisco) and when I brought out my camera to start taking pictures of the thing, I was instantly surrounded by about four people telling me that if I took any more pictures, they’d smash my camera. Considering the place was full of guns and I’m Jewish, I decided that not using my camera was probably in my best interests. This despite all the signs and t-shirts around the place espousing the glories of the 2nd Amendment and the importance of following the Constitution. My guess is that most gun nuts are not big on irony.
My favorite (of many) was how the AK-47 dude was ripping the douchebags off:
30 rounds of AK-47 awesomeness = $30
75 rounds of same = $120
Only in truck nutz territory.
That makes me want to weep into my latte.
Jubel jubel freu freu! Jubel jubel freu freu!
That is not a “Muslim Divorce Kit”. That’s Barry’s circumcision kit.
Dirtbag Jones: Oh my god. This seriously explains the influx of TruckNutz I saw over the weekend. They were everywhere. I could not figure it out.
DagNabbit: Do you really think that kid goes to school?
DagNabbit: That Nazi child is, sadly, probably homeschooled, and has never been given the opportunity to know any better.
Ooo, I feel so bad for these people. They say back fat is the hardest to lose.
Kentucky is our Sudetenland.
Do they hate me because am black or good looking. Go figure.
Silly Wonketters, those women that look like little boys, they’re Feds. Holder gives ‘em a little taste from the tee shirt sales to keep it quiet. Barry knows what goes where and why.
jagorev: Home, sweet Berchtesgaden, Tennessee.
It’s just an outtake from Valkyrie. Cruise usually stands on a box to seem taller. The one on the left may be from the Thetan compound.
Nothing brings out the freak like a convention.
Call in the Predator drones.
4tehlulz: Not only Mastercard but Amex too. There’s plenty of places near me that don’t accept Amex!
Well, at least it’s not Eastern Kentucky.
I’m confused. Me ‘n my liberal hipster friends went out of our way to be commie-lovers back in the ’80s because of Reagan, and moozlam-lovers in the 00s because of Bush. Are we going to be fascist-lovers in the ’10s now?
I kind of hope so, because some of those outfits were amazing.
Deepthroat: “WHAT WILL THEY DO WHEN THE ZOMBIES ATTACK!??”
That’s easy. Shamble around looking for brains to eat.
user-of-owls: I stopped drinking for a few days, sometimes it helps.
Did David Weigel make it back or was this the last story he filed before …
I’m confused.
It says “Muslim Divorce Kit.” But the sheath is for a Khukri, the knife traditionally carried by the Ghurkas.
Who are not “Muslim.” And whom it would be a really, really bad idea to suggest are Muslim.
Safer to call a Sihk a “Muslim.” Not much safer, mind you.
But on a more serious note: The Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot” is world famous. Good times. Good folks. Good Barbeque. Good home-made sipping liquor, poured from mason jars the way Our Lord And Savior intended.
But, boy howdy, you can burn through a lot of ammunition in an afternoon.
And a couple of barrels on the MG-42s, too.
:::Sigh:::
Goddamnit, I LOVE THIS COUNTRY!
LOCK AND LOAD! READY ON THE LEFT! READY ON THE RIGHT! READY ON THE FIRING LINE! COMMENCE FIRING!
Ahem, I would like to say that these people are likely not from Louisville, which is a relative haven of progressive thinking compared to, say, my home county.
dcgrrl: The team is generally forgiven, lest recruiting be impacted. The failed coach, however, is promptly shown the door, then kicked through it.
The scourge of Homonaziism.
kentuckienne2: Seriously. I like to pretend I am a commie Louisville elitist, but really these are my people. I have just tried desperately to escape them.
Also, I believe the more accurate discription is that the failed coach is promptely shown the door, and then chased through it by Alan Cutler. Facts are important.
…and then they all went to Cracker Barrel for lunch, completely missing the irony.
problemwithcaring: Slow Clap!
isadelia: Me, too. I was like “HAHA, those dumb fuckers… oh, wait. Well, they’re still dumb fuckers.”
Christ, this worries me. I wish it didn’t. But fuck, one of these ass-clowns is gonna go McVeigh in the next 4 to 8. You can bet money on it.
You know, when the left is out of power, we retreat to the Tubes to snarky comment threads. (Interestingly, we do that when we’re in power, too). We become angry, yes, but funny and biting and witty. When the right is out of power, they go stark-raving-mad and they do so with a gun in their hand. And the douchebags in the conservative movement and the GOP just encourage the nonsense or turn their heads and hope they didn’t see.
Sorry for lack of snarks.
Hart88: outstanding. Thank you.
Is there any way to move Kentucky within missle range of N. Korea?
Mitch McConnell must be so proud.
Neilist: Next time you attend, be sure to mention the whole “Gurkhas aren’t actually Muslim” thing and see how far those nice folks are willing to go in debating the varied armed forces of Asia.
Neilist: “…But the sheath is for a Khukri, the knife traditionally carried by the Ghurkas. …”
Yeah, I thought the same, but assumed whoever had that displayed either had no idea what it was or no idea who the Ghurkas were. It was just “foreign” and probably moslin.
qwerty42: Neilist: Knife nerds!
prizepig: Works only if spelled out in torch lights.
AnnieGetYourFun: I’ll do that, Annie.
The sort of folks who attend Knob Creek are usually eager to talk about anything related to weaponry, etc. If you know something about the history or provance of a particular firearm or knife, etc., they usually are grateful for the information.
And they are invariably polite.
You know, sort of the complete opposite of the Anti-Gun Nuts you encounter in . . . say . . . Wonkette.
How old is that kid, about 12? I wonder how many times he’s had it up the back passage from his various older relatives? And how long before he goes out in a blaze of automatic weapons fire?
And speaking of those “Nazi” uniforms:
Did you know that every single one of the Civil War re-enactors who wear Confederate uniforms wants to bring back “African slavery”?
And that 3/5 of the re-enactors who wear Federal uniforms believe — as did Abraham Lincoln initially - that “Africans” should be deported “back home,” and could never achieve social equality with the white man?
In fact, it is a little known fact that simply owning an Austrian or German firearm makes you Anti-Semitic.
Which was really awkward for all those Zionists who were armed with surplus K98 Mausers in 1948.
Seig/Shalom Heil!
Oh, and I those kids were gay.
Indeed, the only people I can ever remember wearing Nazi regalia were the “boys” in the Castro.
They were “gun” nuts too, but I think they were interested in a different kind of “long arm.”
Seig/Shalom Heil, Tom of Finland!
Country Club Jihadi: Thanks! Like I don’t stare enough at his ass as it is now I have to redirect my attention.
Doesn’t that one kid look a bit like Prince Harry? Ah, it all makes sense now.
I really really REALLY want to hear about the Vampire Eradication plan. Unless (as I suspect) vampires equal jews. That would be just boring and unimaginative.
choinski: Tom of Finland meets Bachamann of Minnesota.
Neilist: Polite? I hope you;re not coming to this website expecting “polite.” It’s always helpful, however, to act polite when talking to heavily armed folks; so there’s your gun show etiquette.
My gun nut friend, Dave, likes to rant on an on about how rude landowners are when they kick him out for illegally trespassing and illegally discharging his firearms on their land. “I mean, how rude do you want to be to a guy with a loaded weapon! ZOMG!” I keep telling him he should shoot some of those snooty bastards to teach them some gun manners.
Yeah, Neil, don’t pick around the edges of a wound. Go for the scab!
Living in a bordering state, I do make the Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot at least once a year. It is a powerful experience.
Unfortunately, I have to black out 79% of my teeth and sniff a couple of cans of paint in order to try and blend in.
Imagine my embarrassment, the first year I went, when I was wearing sandals, a Greatful Dead t-shirt, and was drinking a Starbucks venti.
Cicada: A friend, on a mystic quest through Nepal (it may actually have been a quest for drugs, but who knows), bought one at the recruiting station.
Scandinavian Fetus: Does that make you an “outsider” or a “target”?
(I guess they are not exactly mutually exclusive. I withdraw the question.)
Lascauxcaveman: No one in his or her right mind would shoot a Wonketteer.
There is no meat; you can’t clean the filthy things; and there is nothing to aim at for a heart shot.
(For a brain shot either, come to think of it.)
The only option would be a flame-thrower — but too many of them are used to that kind of thing.
(And the resulting smell? Good lord . . . .)
Neilist: I’d have liked to see the nervous “heh-heh-uh-whose-side-are-you-on” looks that the kukri seller would have gotten if the tag had said “Lorena Bobbitt Divorce Kit.”
Though “Nancy Pelosi’s Home Remedy for Testosterone Poisoning” would have been ideal, with a hot pink Hello Kitty scabbard. Next to a little dish of Ghirardelli chocolate squares.
CthuNHu: Sorry, but that makes me want to tell my favorite (well, okay, only) Lorena Bobbit joke:
The cops are called to the scene of the crime, and observe Lorena speeding away in the family station wagon.
They hit the lights and siren, and Ms. Bobbit becames fearful of being caught — red-handed, as it were — with the evidence. So she grabs Mr. Bobbit’s severed member from where it was lying on the passenger seat, and throws it out the window.
It flies through the air, and lands — smack dab — in the middle of the windshield of the pursuing policecar.
The cop who’s driving turns to his partner and says, “My GOD, did you see the SIZE of the penis on that June bug?!?
:::rimshot:::
:::or rimjob:::
Whatever.
neilist… harsh vibes dude… too much rock star?
Is that where lineman from Wyoming, (you know the guy who married the rich girl,the one daddy didn’t like but got him the job with his texas buddy anyway)learn to hunt with shotguns?
Give them a break. Anything they say that doesn’t sound like an uninterrupted string of vowels is an achievement.
“No one in his or her right mind would shoot a Wonketteer.
There is no meat; you can’t clean the filthy things; and there is nothing to aim at for a heart shot.”
What makes me suspect that “Wonketeer” was not the original subject of this joke?
Pilate: Well, it may also have applied to Paris Hilton, but that’s not whom I had in mind.
“So, do you want to go behind the bushes and Battle with my Bulge?”
There is a new political leader who is going to be in power and he will fix most of the world’s problems. he came out with a movie to show his plans and it is catching on like wild fire. I agree with everything he says. look and see for yourself http://www.dictatormovie.com
Oh gawd, I’ll never drink Knob Creek again. There’s plenty of other bourbons out there.
But are there any that are 100% wingnut-free? Please tell me that Makers Mark or some other widely-stocked brand does not have neo-nazi ties.
Just to be safe I’d better restrict myself to rye from now on. Not that that’s an actual restriction since it’s really a superior style of whiskey — just harder to find.
Neilist: Yeah, I’m sure they’re super polite if you’re not black, muslin, Mexican, a liberal, an atheist, a fag, fag/atheist supporter, or look at them funny in a way that leads them to believe you’re working for the one world government trying to take away their guns/land/anal virginity.
Neilist: I think it’s actually a “moslim” divorce kit. Oh God. SO many things wrong with that photo.
I Knob Creek was a whiskey and I was a duck
I’d sink to the bottom with a belly full of buck
Shot, that is.
Kentucky tea.
If Knob Creek was a whiskey and I was a duck
I’d sink to the bottom with a belly full of buck
Shot, that is.
Kentucky tea.
But it was too late…I’d already been mooned.
Trace: Their “anal virginity.”
Now, THAT assumes something that I don’t think is warranted by the evidence . . . .
Keram2: That’s all easily fixed. Just have him call a Ghurka a “Moslim” or whatever.
And then try to pat the little bugger on the head.
If he’s lucky, he’ll only lose the hand. Otherwise, he’ll learn what is meant by “cleaved through the brisket.”
The little bastards attacked a Japanese position in Burma once. According to the Scots regiment that followed them in, the last 100 yards was littered with the rifles the Ghurkas dropped as they ran into the line with their knives.
They’d love Rednecks. A bigger, slower target . . . .
Neilist: I’m glad I’m not the only Wonketteer who detected the beginnings of a wide stance in the young sturmmann with the Col. Klink hat.
A truly frightening excursion. Forget AIG- Spend the loot on education. Do it now.
Firing a full-auto is a thrill, you antis should try it before you knock it… And as far as the regalia goes, ask any Native American how they feel about US uniforms of the 19th century, it’s all about perspective. Hey, at least the kid is wearing Wehrmacht and not SS crap!
This is scarier than Newt Gingrich.
What a bunch of insane morons.
And that’s being nice.
Who were the celebrity guests at the weekend? Guesses, anyone?!!!
Mixed feelings here. It’s just plain FUN to make loud noises and blow things up. I’m about as leftie/liberal as the average Red Stater might imagine a Wonkette fan to be, but I used to teach machineguns and I loved it. Lost most of my hearing, but that got me free medical care at the VA (which is socialist medicine, I guess…works very well). I do agree the company leaves something to be desired whilst partaking of such noisy pleasures.
