Know your hate symbols. A Democratic candidate for president used one today

[FunkyZero]

I don't even know how to respond to this one, it's so far out there...
Reminds me of the South Park episode where cartman was insisting that this buddy Kyle was responsible for 9/11

The above link is a tweet from RFK Junior that reads:

Since the assassination of my father in 1968, candidates for president are provided Secret Service protection. But not me.

Typical turnaround time for pro forma protection requests from presidential candidates is 14-days. After 88-days of no response and after several follow-ups by our campaign, the Biden Administration just denied our request. Secretary Mayorkas: "I have determined that Secret Service protection for Robert F Kennedy Jr is not warranted at this time."
Our campaign's request included a 67-page report from the world's leading protection firm, detailing unique and well established security and safety risks aside from commonplace death threats.

This is not true. There is no "pro forma" protection or "turnaround time." Secret Service protection is granted only a few months before election day to candidates. He's lying and using hate symbols as a dogwhistle.

1488 is a combination of two popular white supremacist numeric symbols. The first symbol is 14, which is shorthand for the "14 Words" slogan: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." The second is 88, which stands for "Heil Hitler" (H being the 8th letter of the alphabet). Together, the numbers form a general endorsement of white supremacy and its beliefs. As such, they are ubiquitous within the white supremacist movement - as graffiti, in graphics and tattoos, even in screen names and e-mail addresses, such as aryanprincess1488@hate.net. Some white supremacists will even price racist merchandise, such as t-shirts or compact discs, for $14.88.

The symbol is most commonly written as 1488 or 14/88, but variations such as 14-88 or 8814 are also common.

F*** this guy.

12. He's been spouting
hate openly for weeks, and is an obvious Bannon plant, why bother with secret numerical messages, ala Jack Posobiec?
I doubt many Democrats are fooled by this grifting idiot.

there's plenty more raw, slobbering hatred and paranoia in the thread...

[DUmpDiver]

RFK Jr is a Nazi?  LOL

98,786th verse, same as the first...

More like most democrats are kept in line by professional propagandists and slanderers who are scared shitless of RFK Jr.

That is the must stupid shit I've ever seen on huffpo.

That is the must stupid shit I've ever seen on huffpo.

And considering how much utterly mindless, un-thought out shit has been posted to that site, that's saying a lot...

I wouldn't, in a million years, put that numerological association together.  So, I once lived in a house that had "14" in the address and I once had a work phone number that had "88" in it.  So does that mean I lived with Hitler, I worked with Hitler or I am Hitler?  I really need some clarification here.

My address growing up was 1414. I am a double Nazi. Back in 1988 we'd hold Nazi rallies in the front yard. It was awesome.

It's amazing how many hate symbols and dog whistles you find when you train your brain to actively look for them, as far leftists have.

Wow, OPer WhiskeyGrinder (discredit where discredit has been earned!) reached beyond his/her rectum and deep into his/her colon for that wacky @#$%!

Protection at 120 days before the general election is "standard", BUT has been given on selected multiple occasions in times past. One particularly relevant example was President Carter in 1979 giving Secret Service protection to Teddy Kennedy, because Kennedy. Nixon in 1972 provided Secret Service protection to several Dem candidates (including Shirley Chisholm, who had little chance of winning the Dem nomination but was a realistic potential target) after the attempted assassination of George Wallace.

That hate-symbol claim is from so far up someone's colon that I wonder if it is real or fauxtoshop. I haven't hung around a white supremacy website in nearly 70 years, so I haven't seen anything like what WhiskeyGrinder and Celerity posted. Maybe WhiskeyGrinder and Celerity hang out in that sort of websites, .

Protection at 120 days before the general election is "standard", BUT has been given during primaries on multiple selected occasions in times past. One particularly relevant example was President Carter in 1979 giving Secret Service protection to Teddy Kennedy, because Kennedy (and Kopechne?).

Most pianos have 88 keys, but craftsman Wayne Stuart has designed a piano ... The Stuart and Sons grand piano has 14 more keys than most

Musical Innovation: A Grander Grand Piano
Most pianos have 88 keys. And most great piano music comes from the middle of the keyboard -- only rarely do the player’s fingers venture onto the tinkly keys at the top of the keyboard, or the booming bass notes at the bottom. But a craftsman in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, thinks the instrument has room to grow; and he wants to nudge the piano out of complacent middle age. He has designed a grand with an unprecedented 102 keys.

The Stuart and Sons grand piano has 14 more keys than most, which means its lowest and highest notes live very much on the edge. Its designer, Wayne Stuart, says a few other grands can play as low as this 102-key model, but none can play as high.

"I'd hate to go back to the 88-key piano," he says. "I couldn't stand it. It's too limited."

It would appear that another round of Nuremberg trials are in order.

Whiskey grinder will be promoted to most exalted grand wizard of the dump for that discovery.

And leftists are the only people who claim to hear "racist dog whistles".

The Germans' painfully effective dual-purpose AA and anti-tank gun was the 88 mm. Grrrrrrr!!!

I found a real hate symbol:

I will refuse to believe it until a photo emerges of him making the ok hand sign.  Then and only then will we have official confirmation that he's a nazi.

Found another hate symbol and this one is nothing but hate.
