Norfolk Wing Nut Doctor hates President Obama so much that he hangs a Nazi flag

[MrScorpio]

Dr. William Wheeler, a viciously anti-Obama Norfolk resident, decided to shock and offend his neighbors by hanging a Nazi flag because the President took executive action on immigration.

VA Wingnut Hangs Nazi Flag To Protest Obama’s Immigration Action

Local news channel 3 is reporting that a resident in the Ghent neighborhood of Norfolk, VA found a most peculiar way of protesting President Obama’s decision to take executive action on the issue of immigration: to hang a Nazi flag outside his home. The man who hung the flag, Dr. William Wheeler, would not speak on camera to the news station reporting the story.

However, an area resident who came to see the situation for herself and to address Dr. Wheeler about the flag, did. However, when Beth Booker tried to talk to Dr. Wheeler about the flag, she says that instead of reasonable discourse, she was instead insulted. Booker says of the incident:

I wanted to have a dialogue with him as to why he hung that hate flag out in the neighborhood. It’s amazing how somebody can have so much hate in them and feel it’s okay to express themselves. Granted, there’s freedom of speech. He can do and say whatever he wants to, but I think you need to have some respect for people in this country. And that flag represents nothing but hate.

1. To symbolize the Nazi's well-known love of immigrants, I presume.

Did he just happen to have this flag laying around somewhere?

[MrScorpio]

3. That's what I was thinking..

What the fuck kind of person owns a gawddamned Nazi flag?

[Wella]

12. Who the hell has a Nazi flag hanging around?

I wonder what else he does with this time.

[Dick Dastardly]

44. Many people have such stuff lying around including my 2 Uncles and myself.

My 2 Uncles have a few nazi items including a nazi flag they got fighting in WW2 and took as souveniers. My one Uncle gave me a SS officers dagger he took off a SS dirtball he killed.
They like most GI's hate the Nazis and would never wave around a Nazi flag.
Much of this stuff came back with returning WW2 GI's as souveniers.

[Wella]

45. Souvenirs from the war

That makes sense.

[Jamastiene]

48. It's different in that case, I would say.

They are not flying it to represent pro-Nazi sentiment.

[jmowreader]

60. Don't google "Nazi flags for sale" if you know what's good for you

[TheBlackAdder]

2. No matter what the circumstances, to raise the Nazi Flag.. you have to have Nazi leanings. nt

[Fred Sanders]

4. But it is freedom of speech...this symbol is banned in Germany for good reason...hate is not speech.

[TheBlackAdder]

5. He can speak all he wants, raise the flag. He still probably has Nazi leanings.

I wouldn't want to be a patient of his.

The average Joe, driving by, won't know if misguided protest attempt. They'll just think he's a Neo-Nazi.

[mythology]

20. If the shoe fits

I feel safe in assuming that anybody who would be willing to hang a nazi flag, is in fact a nazi, even if they are waving it in "protest". It's such a loaded symbol that anybody with two brain cells to rub together should be able to figure out that it's not useful.

[Fred Sanders]

21. Precisely. Precisely why Germany bans this hateful symbol of fascism and genocide.

[NightWatcher]

6. He hung that flag last week, but I bet it had been in his closet for a long time

[Hoyt]

7. Nazi flags, confederate flags are both symbols of hatred. If he's a medical doctor, would hate

to see the patients in his waiting room.

[JaneyVee]

8. Where the eff do you even buy something like that???

[MineralMan]

11. Amazon.com, of course

[JaneyVee]

15. OFFS!

[MineralMan]

17. Yup.

There are many sellers of that crap. It's amazing.

[Brigid]

27. You gotta be kidding me!

[nomorenomore08]

28. Not to mention the Nazi "cosplay" armband... *Sure* I believe that's what it's for...

[lpbk2713]

9. I'd expect a doctor to be reasonably intelligent.

Who knew?

[Jamastiene]

50. Whatever prejudices they have before college, they hold onto after college too.

It's awful. The ability to unlearn hatred doesn't enter into the picture with those types. They just use whatever they learn for their profession and incorporate it into their practice. Eugenics and other programs that require intelligence are still racist programs.

[yortsed snacilbuper]

10. Wow!

[Cha]

13. Big Shocker.. "...she was instead insulted."

"However, when Beth Booker tried to talk to Dr. Wheeler about the flag, she says that instead of reasonable discourse, she was instead insulted."

[tinymontgomery]

14. Wow, Hung it out in the largest Naval Base district

Hung it out in the largest Naval Base area in the country. Wonder if he supports the troops?

[noiretextatique]

16. the EO will have zero impact on his life

that's what is even sadder.

[nomorenomore08]

29. But if "illegals" can become citizens, that makes it harder to look down on them!

[Dawson Leery]

18. Most people do not have such a horrible symbol

sitting around the house. We know where this bastard stands.

[FLyellowdog]

19. A bit more here...

http://wtkr.com/2014/11/21/ghent-resident-hangs-nazi-flag-outside-home/

Disgusting human being...and a doctor!!! But of course, there were doctors in the concentration camps as well. I'm not making any comparisons, just making an observation.

The hate against President Obama is unprecedented.

So sad.

[nomorenomore08]

31. Even Dubya - an eminently despisable human being - never generated this level of vitriol.

Tells you something, huh?

[MrModerate]

22. A question:

He had this flag lying around?

Hmmm.

[KT2000]

23. a deranged doctor

who needs to have his mental health evaluated if he is a medical doctor. He has become unhinged by hate.

[Brigid]

26. If he were my doctor . . .

He woudn't be anymore.

[Liberal_in_LA]

24. how did he come to OWN a nazi flag? for special hatefilled moments?

[nomorenomore08]

25. That puts the issue into rather clear focus, doesn't it... n/t

[spanone]

30. racist piece of shit....

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

[nomorenomore08]

32. +1

[freshwest]

33. Is this the same wingnut who attacked Michelle's advice to serve kids more fruit and vegetables?

Bet he'll vote for Rand and the rest of the freedom to be constipated crowd in 2016.

[lastlib]

34. nah--he's Teddy's kind o' guy.....

what a piece of foreskin! (he's not big enough to be a full dick.......)

[freshwest]

42. ? I'm going to check and see if all your posts to me are like that one...

[lastlib]

43. ?

All I'm sayin' is, this dirtbag doctor sounds to me more likely to be of the Ted Cruz mentality (or lack of same....)

[Initech]

36. And here we see a doctor who failed basic history and civics classes.

[Jamastiene]

51. It depends on where he took those classes.

In some areas down here in the south, they teach about things like the Civil War from the perspective of the poor downtrodden southern farmers who had to protect themselves from the evil Yankees. No, I'm not kidding.

[Thinkingabout]

37. Here is a guy imprisoned in his own mind, hates so much he misses the best part of life.

[kelliekat44]

38. Doctor of what? Medicine? He is sickened by his own hate. nt

[Spirochete]

39. He just wanted an excuse

the fact that he actually owned one is telling...

[Raul Hernandez]

40. A quick check to his speciality would be radiologist...

Didn't I read somewhere where the highest concentration of right-wing Neo-Nazi type are mostly radiologists?

[Blue_Tires]

41. He's just a trolling nutbar whoring for attention...

The irony is Ghent is a little artsy, trendy liberal enclave so he knows he's going to get a LOT of outrage in the community and subsequent publicity...

[Electric Monk]

46. He got the Swastika (Hakenkreuz) backwards (mirror image)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika#As_the_symbol_of_Nazism

[Jamastiene]

47. Yeah, they pretty much do that openly down here in the south.

Even doctors are not immune to the hatred that is rampant down here. Whatever prejudices and hatreds they had going into college stays with them even after they get their degree. They hold onto those prejudices for life, most of the time.

[MrScorpio]

49. Didn't run into a lot of wing nuts when I lived on the Peninsula

I guess that I was lucky.

[AverageJoe90]

52. It appears to me that he thinks that Obama is a Nazi.....

Which is utterly disgraceful, in any context. My god, I mean, Richard Nixon and Woodrow Wilson were both *terrible* at their jobs, not to mention rather unlikeable, and I wouldn't call them Nazis. Although one must wonder if part of that is his way of expressing his distress at a black man in the White House, at all, as well. Can't say I'd be surprised.

[Heywood J]

53. That a doctor would do this...

I can only barely stifle back the question of how he decides who goes to the office on the right and who goes to the office on the left.

[steve2470]

54. He may know medicine, but he fails history and not being a racist

If he was my doctor, I would call his office ASAP and have my records transferred to a new doctor.

[The Jungle 1]

55. fear

Talking to people like this is useless. You have to scare them.

[TerrapinFlyer]

56. He needs to show the world that Obama is a Communist Facist!!!1!!

... oh wait. duh.

[B Calm]

57. Just happened to have Nazi flag laying around. .

[The Wizard]

58. Must have graduated

Mengele School of Medicine.

[Blue Idaho]

59. The Ayrian Nations Movement Lives On.

This says more about Dr. Wheeler's white power fantasies than any action by out President. I hope he decides to extend this "protest" to his community by wearing a swastika arm band in public to help educate his neighbors.

[left-of-center2012]

61. He thinks Obama is what's wrong with America

He thinks Nazis could fix America.
