At the Alaska State Fair, bigotry is a bumper crop

RacistBumperSticker_1b84b.jpg

Gee, wonder if Todd bought one of these for Sarah's SUV.

The ever-intrepid Shannyn Moore tweeted this yesterday:

Can you smell the cross burning yet? This is for sale at the AK state fair...I'm not proud.

Don't feel too bad, Shannyn. We could always say, "Only in Alaska," but it wouldn't be true.

I'm gonna have to get a license to carry first so I can keep them in my pockets.

liberalNmoderation's picture

now they're wantin us to register our stones?
what's next? Slingshots?

I say we secede!

Like this Stone?

or you would not torment me so, lol!

I tried to warn you twice in that comment, but you just had to click it anyway.

but I am oblivious to such things!
You should know this by now!

God bless America eh?

I couldn't watch the film 30 Days of Night without thinking, these people voted for Sarah Palin.

liberalNmoderation's picture

The vampires?
or the victims?
The vampires stuck me as more the libertarian/Ron Paul voters.

botanybayinak's picture

30 Days of Night wasn't even filmed here, so piss off! How about this ... more than half of you down south voted Bush into the White House for a second term. So how about you stop dissing Alaskans, as not ALL of us voted for Falin Palin.

Speaking as one of the one's in the south who never voted for bush and would have cut my right arm off before I would, I understand how you feel.


Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

boocilla69's picture

for anyone but myself and I've never, ever voted for a Republican. I voted for the guy, Gore, that was actually elected president (a minor detail).

liberalNmoderation's picture

Just some of the people in it.
I get the same thing about being from NC.

I don't care if she is no longer governor; someone needs to ask Sarah Palin point-blank about this sign and whether or not she agrees with it. This is BS of the highest order.

miss_kitty's picture

evasive and lean heavily on the 1st amendment (or 'ammendment' as the brain dead who wander in here from the right side of the internets are fond of saying) rights of the asshole person displaying said b.s next to the Stars and Bars b.s. on their rusted out Ford F150 with the leaky rear seal.

You could shoot that question at her, point blank, but her bullshit fu is very strong and attractive to the hopelessly stupid.

General Jack D. Ripper's picture

I say that someone in the media just hounds her until she gives a straight answer.

This just really upsets me to no end.

pissed off patricia's picture

She would say people in I'll-as-ka have freedom of speech just like the rest of the country. Just don't ask her which country she is talking about.


Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

that racism was very alive and well in these United States. Since President Obama has taken office though, the mouth-breathing knuckle draggers have crawled out from beneath their rocks in droves. Whats worse is that GOP is exploits it. What is even more worse, the MSM gladly gives these 'people' a voice for the right price. As I have said before, the Republicans may no longer be in power, but they still have money. It's amazing. The country is in more trouble now than at anytime in it's history and more than any of us really know, and all they can focus on is race, power and politics.


Government + the Federal Reserve = organized crime

are a distraction so we won't notice how totally their focus is on MONEY.

I spent a year in Alaska and there is a lot of ignorance there.

this is being brought to us by the same people who were screeching that Michelle Obama was unpatriotic back when she said she was feeling proud of her country for the first time in a long time.

I keep telling myself it's good the scab is being pulled off for us to finally understand how racist this country still is, so we can confront it, but this makes me sick to my stomach.

I just stumbled on the "Michelle has 26 'servants'" meme that's spreading through right-wing dementia land. They're actually phrasing it as if she is some sort of overlord, or slaver - with all the usual right-wing assaults on her looks.

One thing about the right-wing: every time they show their true colors, I am even more proud to be a liberal

liberalNmoderation's picture

they think they're so fuckin clever, comin up with those bs racist slogans...I wonder how long it takes them to come up with a bumper sticker like that...hours? days? weeks? Do they work in shifts?
Or does is just come ina flash of drunken "wisdom" and they just happen to remember it the next day...
The world may never know.

boocilla69's picture

family lore, passed from defective mutant to defective mutant, via oral tradition, because I would imagine many of them are illiterate. This kind of stupidity is like old brandy, aged in a dank place, no light, closed off from the rest of the world. The most amusing part is that these cretins actually fancy themselves superior.

Excelsior's picture

But unlike a good brandy, it tastes like shit.

Then it'll be racist AND mafia-ridden. Definitely an improvement.

Wouldn't want to do that to the good and decent people there like Shannyn Moore....maybe we could find a home for her in the lower 48.

Canada's done nothin to deserve that!
I say we ship them all down to Texas, and they can slug it out over who's gonna be king of the new idiocracy.

after the anti-"socialist" frenzy subsides i'm sure the people of alaska will be quite satisfied & better off

Yeah, sure. Give it to us after it's been filled up with gun-totin' yahoos.

This is Benjamin Morgan Palmer speaking, clergyperson of the First Presbyterian Church in New Orleans...

...“Need I pause to show how this system is interwoven with our entire social fabric? That these slaves form parts of our households, even as our children; and that, too, through a relationship recognized and sanctioned in the scriptures of God. . . .”

“In this great struggle,” he said, “we defend the cause of God and religion. The Abolition spirit is undeniably atheistic. The demon which erected its throne upon the guillotine in the days of Robespierre and Marat, which abolished the Sabbath, and worshiped reason in the person of a harlot, yet survives to work other horrors, of which those of the French revolution are but a type.

no prob...
It's a sad thing, that so many horrible things have been justified by belief in a deity.

hello's picture

..secular humanists.

I can suffer with a "person of faith" as much as any reasonable person reasonably could, but when facts go out the window, I will soon follow those facts, just by pure instinct.

OK, has Alaska gone bonkers, or is there just a few that are gone bonkers, but they are everywhere at once, and they are the ones running things?

I dobt the average Alaskan is a right wing gipizan.

the shit outta that hate monger.

on a slightly different note, I tried to copy and paste a few bumper sticker logo's over here....but they wanted me to pay for them for some odd reason...ah well...

the best one I saw said
"Am I liberal, or just educated?"

..so familiar!

I can even remember laughing about it at the time when The Onion did it first .. for laughs.

I would have bought every last sticker that shithead was selling, burn them in front of him and then kick the ashes into his face.

Gee, wonder if Todd bought one of these for Sarah's SUV.

I haven't been a frequent commenter here in some time, since you had to register as a matter of fact. I surprised to see things have degenerated to comments like those in this thread.

Bumperstickers like this can be found in every state in the Union, from your State Fair grounds to your local gun show.

For instance these I found at my local gun show at the state fair grounds...

I don't think much in the way of commentary needs to accompany these displays of free speech. They are what they are. Condem the racism and move on, don't embarrass yourselves with the give Alaska to Canada quips.

botanybayinak's picture

To all who posted in here, dissing Alaskans as a bunch of backwoods, racist hillbillies, you did nothing but display your own ignorance and bias. So what, some poor asshat sells bumperstickers like this, and most everyone of you automatically condemns the entire state for it? Give us back to Russia? Gladly, if it keeps us away from the likes of you all, then it's already an improvement.

ron's picture

are taking this too seriously. Alaska does have it's share of backwoods ignorance but most here making those comments are just joking and aren't blaming all Alaskans.

bkj's picture

Taking it too seriously....

I saw a black man ask for change on the street the other day, therefore all black men ask for change.

I saw a racist bumper sticker in Alaska therefore:
- "What part of the south is Alaska?"
"It's also ignorance training camp for the serious mutant rednecks."
"I say we ship them all down to Texas..."
"Give it to us after it's been filled up with gun-totin' yahoos."

=================

The U.S. has its share of homeless black people, maybe the bumper stickers are 'just joking.'

Pot (posters) meet Kettle (bumper sticker salesman)

liberalNmoderation's picture

The US also has it's share of homeless white people too...more than blacks I think...

Here in the keys I get accosted more by homeless white people...in fact, I have yet to have seen a homeless black person down here.

And, if you honestly think that the bumper sticker is "joking"...then you, my friend might be a thin skinned racist.

bkj's picture

My point wasn't that the bumper sticker was joking. My point is that there is a whole lot of hypocritical generalizations going on in some of the comments on this site. And to claim that Alaska is a "ignorance training camp for the serious mutant rednecks" is a joke is disingenuous at best.

One person selling racist bumper stickers is not a reason to impugn an entire population, just like one black homeless person is not a reason to assume all black people are homeless.

Christ, the density amazes me.

hello's picture

..to never generalize.

Mostly by fellow posters at Crooks and Liars, mind you ;-)

I'm not giving the beautiful north land of Alaska back to the Rooskies. No way man!

We'll just let them take the Palin's and all of their redneck ilk. But we will most definitely keep the land.


Rush Limbaugh is what a smart person thinks a stupid bigot sounds like.

States Receiving Most in Federal Spending Per Dollar of Federal Taxes Paid:
1. D.C. ($6.17)
2. North Dakota ($2.03)
3. New Mexico ($1.89)
4. Mississippi ($1.84)
5. Alaska ($1.82)

Who has their hand out asking for change?

Sometimes things seem so disenheartening, watch these people show themselves time and time again...


I've never seen change without a fire

Do we need another stupid, evil, white corporate-fascist theif in the White House?

This one reflects the truest representation of the author's feelings and beliefs. No fuzzy or wishy-washy language implying other things like Hitler, fascism, communist, un-american, muslim. No this is straight to the heart of the matter, pure and unadulterated racism.

The person who dreamed that up, in concert with others who proudly would buy one or put it on their pickup, have shown their utter contempt for reason and civil discussion. They are rascists and need to be confronted for their misbegotten beliefs.

I don't think Alaska, or Alaskans per se should have any implication whatsoever. That bumpersticker could be on any state in the union.
