Hiel Hitler = 88........ Damn!

You think we could get them to say "allegiance Adolf" and get that number down to 11

I hate to see a plot to kill 88 people every time these extremist goes on the loose!

I don't know anyone who doesn't know about 88, and it kind of defeat the purpose of secrecy at this point using the number 88.

The news report I watched last night said their plan was to "drive toward an event while shooting wildly out the windows of their car" - WTF kind of plan is that? What a couple of retard rednecks.

Sounds more likely connected to Palin than McCain but...desperation.

And they will count up to 88 while randomly shoot into the crowd? I wonder if they had a ticket counter in their possesion?

The numbers 14 and 88 are symbols in skinhead culture, referring to a 14-word phrase attributed to an imprisoned white supremacist: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children" and to the eighth letter of the alphabet, H. Two "8"s or "H"s stand for "Heil Hitler."
 

That's so pathetically weird. I wonder why numerology has such a powerful hold over the imaginations of people in fringe societies. Is it just a kind of secret code, like a special handshake, that marks people as in the group, or do people who cleave to such extreme ideas also tend toward superstition?

I noticed recently that US highway 666 in New Mexico has been renumbered -- sad.

I believe it has more to do with numbers being used so frequently in our society that they can help to create a sense of eerie coincidence.  If you're FBI, you feel extra alert round about Hitler's birthday, because these guys like to try to make shit happen round about then.

This is the sort of numerology that reminds me of "Jonathan Doe" in "Seven," who specifically wants to leave behind some statement about sin.  However, Doe must be about a zillion times smarter than these guys.

The "88" code has been in use for many years, but going for 88 sounds more like braggadocio than anything else.

As for fourteen, let me try something: "We must secure the future existence of white people and our children."  Let's see, I think that pretty well covers everything and is only twelve words.  You would think they wouldn't need those last two killings just because they're redundant.

That's really funny.

Preg, if this is true -- and that question has to be asked, after my own hometown had to put up with the Ashley Todd fiasco -- then the couple described ought to be caught, and deserve the scrutiny of the "mainstream media" mentioned at the story's end.

For a vast majority of Americans, I'd say that the principle of an election going ahead without violence against supporters on either side is about as uncontroversial an idea as you can find.

Meanwhile, I happen to applaud a report I just saw by "mainstream media" TV reporter Brian Ross.  It didn't tell us much more about the Supreme White Alliance than we could guess -- but it was a fascinating study in how a man who's a big badass in private gets ambivalent about questions in public, possibly because he has never in his life bothered to ask himself any such questions.

 Yes We Can video.

I don't think I've seen this speech previously which Obama is doing in this video, but I found it quite captivating/touching (such as I was able to grok).  The artsy add-ons of music/singing were a nice touch, although I would have preferred more Obama and less musicians.

are US citizens going to vote now, when everything seems to be a done deal?

[Hiram]

What about the 30 minute commercial, its not been on yet?

Having watched a few McCain and Obama speeches, I'm fairly confident I'd go for Obama if I had the vote.

I see McCain as BushII, I don't think the world needs that right now.
