Plate-mongering

According to the Washington Post, Virginia has cracked down on a racist license plate after deciphering “14CV88″:

The DMV agreed that the plate contains a coded message: The number 88 stands for the eighth letter of the alphabet, H, doubled to signify “Heil Hitler,” said CAIR’s Ibrahim Hooper. “CV” stands for “Confederate veteran” — the plate was a special model embossed with a Confederate flag, which Virginia makes available for a $10 fee to card-carrying members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. And 14 is code for imprisoned white supremacist David Lane’s 14-word motto: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.”

Wow.  Rednecks can be really creative and sneaky with their crazy paranoid racism.  If that plate would have, say, come up on Bumper Stumpers, yours truly would have gone home with a case of Turtle Wax.  Unless they gave me some photographic context, that is.
