Iowa idiot ties black doll to a cross and hangs it from his house's eaves. Names his dog "Hitler".
Oh, but it gets even better.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa. -- Some residents in Council Bluffs are thankful that a racially disturbing object has been removed from their neighborhood.

A black baby doll tied to a cross was hanging from the eave of a home.

“It’s something sentimental to my boyfriend,” said Dorthy Richards, who lived at the residence with her boyfriend, Ben Foote.

--snip--

Foote didn’t just have the doll hanging from his eave. He also named his dog Hitler and has a rebel flag with the words “White pride, world justice” tattooed on his arm.

6. Seems odd to name a dog Hitler
But then, taking it for a walk makes for a good excuse to say "Heel, Hitler!" in public and get away with it.

7. I think he's just an equal-opportunity offender.
Between the black doll, the rebel flag tattoo, and the Nazi dog, I think he's just trying to offend as many people as possible. A little desperate for attention, methinks.

I did find "Heel, Hitler" particularly amusing. Kind of like Steven Wright naming his dog "Stay".

9. Photoshop a McCain/Palin sign in his yard.
Edited on Fri Sep-05-08 01:05 PM by lumberjack_jeff
Debunking it requires a conversation with the racist in question. Make McCain deny it.

10. Heck, we may not need Photoshop.
Considering his political leanings, there's probably one there already.

14. Definitely meth
It's been a huge problem in recent years in NE and IA, and this is what it tends to produce.

17. I was kind of wondering that myself.
I'm not sure what exactly he's trying to say.

We probably don't want to know.

18. I spent a week in Council Bluffs for the Edwards campaign.
I met some really great people there, and as always, I ran into some asswipes too. Council Bluffs is kind of the "sin city" for Omaha, being that it's a matter of crossing the street to move from one town to the other. All the strip clubs are in Council Bluffs, as are the casinos.

After reading this I understand why many of the people at HQ called it Counciltucky Bluffs.
