Clowns Kicked KKK Asses

Posted by Alex in Pictures, Politics on September 3, 2007 at 2:26 pm


Here’s an excellent example of pwnage: when the white supremacist group VNN Vanguard Nazi/KKK tried to host a hate rally in Knoxville, Tennessee, they were foiled by … clowns!

Unfortunately for [VNN] the 100th ARA (Anti Racist Action) clown block came and handed them their asses by making them appear like the asses they were.

Alex Linder the founder of VNN and the lead organizer of the rally kicked off events by rushing the clowns in a fit of rage, and was promptly arrested by 4 Knoxville police officers who dropped him to the ground when he resisted and dragged him off past the red shiny shoes of the clowns. http://www.volunteertv.com/home/headlines/7704982.html

“White Power!” the Nazi’s shouted, “White Flour?” the clowns yelled back running in circles throwing flour in the air and raising separate letters which spelt “White Flour”.

“White Power!” the Nazi’s angrily shouted once more, “White flowers?” the clowns cheers and threw white flowers in the air and danced about merrily.

“White Power!” the Nazi’s tried once again in a doomed and somewhat funny attempt to clarify their message, “ohhhhhh!” the clowns yelled “Tight Shower!” and held a solar shower in the air and all tried to crowd under to get clean as per the Klan’s directions.

At this point several of the Nazi’s and Klan members began clutching their hearts as if they were about to have a heart attack. Their beady eyes bulged, and the veins in their tiny narrow foreheads beat in rage. One last time they screamed “White Power!”

The clown women thought they finally understood what the Klan was trying to say. “Ohhhhh…” the women clowns said. “Now we understand…”, “WIFE POWER!” they lifted the letters up in the air, grabbed the nearest male clowns and lifted them in their arms and ran about merrily chanting “WIFE POWER! WIFE POWER! WIFE POWER!”

    Just a few retorts that came to mind…
    Their ugly slogan could easily be heard as:

    Nazty Ks: “Wipe our… ”
    Classy Clowns: “…Snotty snouts!”
    or:
    Nazty Ks: “Wipe our … !”
    Classy Clowns: “Wipe your own… and potty train!”

    and a few more - (Excuse the typo - I can’t bring myself to actually write it out):
    Nazty Ks: “Wite powr!”
    Classy Clowns: “…For pink men?”

    Nazty Ks: “Wite powr!”
    Classy Clowns: “Dirty laundry!”

    Nazty Ks: “Wite power!”
    Classy Clowns: “…Holds the rainbow!”

    September 5th, 2007 at 9:11 pm

    Hmmm…
    J.R. says “Fight hate…”, which sounds to my ear a bit contradictory~
    Dear Lauren refers to it as “foiling”, from the word ‘foil’ - a fencing sword~
    The charming element of this form of protest is that it isn’t fighting fire with fire, but rather quenching that fire (or at least limiting its spread) with humor~

    “White Tower…”
    “… mini-burgers!”

    jeroboambramblejam,

    Actually “foil” as a transitive verb has an origin independent of “foil” the sword. It just means to defeat or thwart, and doesn’t necessarily imply violence.

    A “Hate” rally? What has the ARA done about the two WHITES (Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom) that were tortured and killed by BLACKS? ARA is just anti-White.

    who ever wrote this story obviously has a heavy opinion against the VNN (vangard news network) - this is a “sepritist group” not supremasist, and there is a difference, also the VNN were there protesting against an awful crime that was commited black on white, it’s their right to show and to speak how they wish, god love america right? and you call them clowns for speaking to what they believe? we all have this right - and wait you’re actually downing them for “white power”? yet it’s ok for blacks to shout black power? blacks get a pat on the back for being in managment, for having their own record labels and tv stations and programing, but if whites were to do it, it’s called “segragation” and that’s “wrong” - stop it!

    Here in the United States of America, we do have a few rights left, including the right to wear fake bridal gear, smear our faces with clown makeup, and say ultra-hilarious things while we throw flour in the air. We’re even allowed to air our opinions all over those gosh-durn Internets. We don’t even have to learn how to spell first!

    Rock on, people. I think the clowns are *brilliant.* (Never thought I’d say that!)

    A spot-on reaction. Antagonizing neo-Nazi creeps just provokes them to spout stupidity about their “oppression”. The clowns had it perfect: make fun of these extremists, who are at core simply pathetic. I have a slogan: Malarian Race?

  36. Burble Stonefeather
    January 22nd, 2008 at 7:46 pm

    Ginger wrongly compares the civil rights chant “Black power!” with the racist polemic “White power!”. “Black power” is a response to oppression and disenfranchisement; “White power” as used by these neo-nazi cretins is an unvarnished claim to supremacy. I wonder if she could find the strength of character to peacefully endure such bigotry were she born of different parents.

    Also: Burble, good job pwning Ginger’s crappy reasoning. I also like how no one even bothered to dignify Adam’s moronic statement with a response.

    Although I imagine this event physically happened, I find the “story” to be annoying. It sound like one of those stupid joke/inspiration emails your “friends” spam you with. The wording is obviously ridiculously and colorfully biased.. “several of the Nazi’s and Klan members began clutching their hearts as if they were about to have a heart attack.” Oh come on… sounds like some stupid kids cartoon where the adults are always made out to be complete idiots.

    “Will a day come when the race will detect the funniness of these juvenilities and laugh at them–and by laughing at them destroy them?

    For your race, in its poverty, has unquestionably one really effective weapon–laughter. Power, Money, Persuasion, Supplication, Persecution–these can lift at a colossal humbug,–push it a little– crowd it a little–weaken it a little, century by century: but only Laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast.

    Against the assault of Laughter nothing can stand.”

    The NSM are the real clowns. They need to come out the closet. Obviously, their love of uniforms and their worship of the uni-testicled fuhrer show they are just a bunch of drag-queen wannabes.

    Not only will they never achieve their silly goal, they are an endless source of hilarity for everyone with an IQ over 60. White bread power!

    Former Knoxpatch resident here. Where were the “anti-racist” protesters when the actual race-based crime was in court? They’re protesting against people who said words they didn’t like, but not against people who actually did something so horrible I cannot speak of it. I’d like there to be no race-based torture/murders, then we can worry about people thinking the wrong thoughts and saying the wrong words. The VNN are goobers, yes, but the animals who did the crime are far worse. Yep, animals. I guess I’m a “racist” too now.

  54. Allie Cat
    May 23rd, 2009 at 8:05 am

    Actually, other animals wouldn’t torture or maim based on color or species. They kill for survival, and lack the capacity for moral contemplation or any sort of supremacy. Humans are the only animal that harbor the kind of evil that creates hate crimes.

    This article made me just a little bit less terrified of clowns!

    This is the best news I have seen in YEARS.

    Ignorance silenced, humor and good will triumphed. Local is the best first step.

    I feel a new movement coming on… what is it called?
    ‘Humor Mitigation’…
    ‘Perspective Reduction’…
    ‘Clownist Advocacy’…?

    SUGGESTIONS, PLEASE?

    But love and humour surely can make it implode on itself.

    I just want to commend the clowns. Your article, and the video from 2007 gave me a wonderful opportunity to explain some of the extreme racism that goes on in our country (and around the world) to my 9 and 10 year old children. Being white, we can easily remain oblivious of the horrible racism that goes on every day. It wasn’t until college that I discovered that racism was still alive, and I was not happy about it. Thank-you for helping me teach my children about the horribleness of racism in a way that didn’t leave nasty violent pictures in their head. Truly, it means a lot. Blessings to you all for your work to break apart intolerance.

  64. Squeedle
    June 9th, 2009 at 2:39 pm

    Whoever is complaining about the clowns not being there to demonstrate against racially biased crimes and organizations is ridiculously pretending that chanting “White Power” is a relevant protest against a hate crime. “White Power” and “White Pride” are about white supremacy, not racial equality nor merely “separatist.”

    I grew up in an area where there was a lot of racism and I personally knew Klan members. I know what’s said when non-whites aren’t around and you think everyone there agrees with your bigotry. Neither VNN nor KKK care about equality. You/they want “racial purity,” which is a total joke, and you want it because you/they think everyone who’s not a white Christian Protestant is inferior to you and should never be “over” you. So just drop the act.
