They Have Rehab for Nazi Cheataholics Now?

Posted by on Wed, Mar 31, 2010 at 9:15 AM

Megan addressed this in the Morning News, but it really deserves its own post, with picture.

Yes, that fantabulous photo to the right shows Jesse James giving a Nazi salute while donning a German soldier cap. As US Weekly reports, the pic was taken in 2004, a year before his marriage to Oscar-winner Sandra Bullock, and six years before his dumping by Oscar-winner Sandra Bullock.

And yes, Jesse James has checked into sex rehab, because that's what you do when you're a celebrity the whole world hates.

Continued condolences to Sandra Bullock, who, it must noted, devoted much of her recent career to films riddled with klunky race issues/white-guilt themes before being exposed to the world as the cuckqueaned wife of a lout with white-power issues. Good one, God.

All her movies must have been how she worked out the guilt.

The fact that Jesse James is a cheater... Well, whatever. It's fairly common, albeit uncool.

But the fact that he's a white power neonazi fuckhead pretty much disqualifies him from humanity. No rehabilitation class can fix him. He needs to be shot into space.

To have her complete career and achievements now just clouded by that trash, must be devastating. The longer she stays with him the longer she runs the risk of being thought of as agreeing in some level or another with his white supremacist views.

So a guy named after, and descended from, Jesse James (who made his name as a pro-Confederate terrorist in Missouri and Kansas during the Civil War, before that whole bank robber thing) is a white power fanatic? Shocking.

Is that the Red Baron's plane in the background?

The cheating, sure. But don't you think it's likely the nazi thing is just fucking around?

At first I thought he was just into bdsm and Sandra wasn't GGG or something. Lots of bdsm people role play fascist military whatever, ask any dominatrix.

But it seems he might genuinely be a fuckhead. Too bad, who cares, lets move on, and not try to drag Sandra Bullock throught the mud anymore, she has moved on as well.

@8: Agreed, Southpark was spot on with this & Tiger Woods. It's not sex addiction when you're just famous and in a position to live out your fantasies. Power corrupts, aka we're all weak, it's just most rarely get such an opportunity to show it off on such a large stage.

13: That's what every woman who's slept with Jesse James should rename her vagina.

14: To a point. Still, Tiger was powerful enough to make normal people throw themselves at him like porn stars—and yet he insisted on having unprotected sex with an actual porn star. That's not just seizing your opportunities, it's getting off on endangering your life and/or marriage...

@15: Actually having superkinky sex with a pornstar is probably a lot safer. Their job requires them to get tested on a regular basis, where as any "normal" superkinky person probably has a lot more stds. Not to mention the pornstars probably have a better attitude about sex outside of marriage and know what they are doing.

You have sex with the bad boys, but you don't marry them. Everybody knows that.

I'm not trying to defend him or anything, because I could give a fuck, but why is everybody automatically assuming that photo means he's a neo-Nazi? To me, he looks like he's making fun of Nazis, not trying to be one himself.

Thanks Schmader, this is one of the best sentences of the week.

And the West Coast Choppers logo is a Nazi Iron Cross. I know some people think that cross has other meanings besides the Nazi version, but note that it comes in many subtle variations, and only one of them was a Nazi trademark. And you could say the swastika had other historical meanings too, but since the 1930s, it has had only one meaning.

Not to mention the use of other Nazi symbols like WWII helmets in combination with the Iron Cross logo on various West Coast Choppers merchandise.

To me it's a dog whistle to white power types, and when you call Jesse James on it, he plays dumb and innocent. But add it up.

come on #18, you think he went out and bought an ss hat and a little red baron plane so he could 'make fun of the nazis'? when i want to make fun of the nazis i say stuff like " that hitler sure was an asshole" or "what kind of personality cult follows a greasy guy who's all fat in weird places?" i don't ebay a bunch of memorabilia. this guy is one of those stupid idiots who gets off on trying to shock people by being suuuper shocking (he's into nazis!). he's a fucking moron and it's soul crushing that there are people lame enough to have sex with him limping around the world.

I'm gonna pretend that there is anyone reading this who will appreciate some potentially mitigating insights on dismissing this man a neo-nazi.

It's been completely apparent to me that Jesse James is a Peckerwood since I first saw the dude on TV so the Nazi salute picture is no surprise. If you don't understand the term Peckerwood as it's used in the streets of Southern California and the California Department of Corrections you're going to opt for an easier handle on this and just dismiss him as a neo-nazi.

First, this much I know from street intel: Jesse James is a veterano from a barrio in outer L.A. and his nick name growing up was Huero (or Guero for the academics) which is basically like calling him Blondie in Calo. Jesse James was most likely raised a Sureno.

Easiest way to understand Peckwerwoods is this. Think of a biker, now replace the motorcycle with a lowrider and dress him up like a cholo. That guy's a Peckerwood.

Peckerwoods occassionally embrace the iconography of White Supremacy mostly for the "Fuck You" value. Hardly with any serious reverence for the symbolism. They're not a political movement nor are they anything approaching aryan. It's not unusual to come across some Peckerwoods who are Chicano, Hebrew, Italiano, Iberiqueno, Native or mixed. I know an influential Peckerwood who is half mexican in heritage and was raised culturally mexican in the home. He identifies as a Peckerwood because he knew he'd hold rank faster on their side than with the Surenos. He wears Peckerwood tattoos but speaks spanish and listens to Narco Corridos and Gangster rap. Hardly anyone the KKK is going to embrace. Peckerwoods are a loose coalition of streetgangs and outlaws and for all intents and purposes a farm team for PEN1, NLR & AB but they're a White Supremacy movement in spirit about as much as the Republicans are the "Party of Lincoln" in spirit. By and large Peckerwoods are the Sureno's White Auxiliary. Most of them I've known have mexican wives and kids if they don't have mexican ancestry of their own somewhere. When it comes right down to it the only color they truely care about is green.

Nutshell: Jesses James is less a Neo-Nazi than he is a white vato who likes to LARP as a Neo-Nazi.

I don't suppose it is possible to have and interest in German military history and not be a Nazi? Of course not! I won't defend James' cheating but if you want to call him a Nazi you should have more proof than a picture of him goofing off in a SS hat in a house that I'm not sure has been proven to be his. C'mon people find me a shrine to George Lincoln Rockwell or a Klan card or something. Quite frankly that picture is something I'd totally do and I'm not a Nazi what so ever.

Additionally The Red Baron fought in WWI and was dead a year before the beginnings of National Socialism and the Iron Cross pre-dates Nazism by well over 100 years and the only difference between the Nazi Iron Cross and the 1813 Iron Cross is the swastika.

Aside from West Coast Choppers many custom car and motorcycle outfits have used the Iron Cross in their imagery and not a one of them have been Nazis.

It's par for the course. He's the "bad boy" president of a shitty t-shirt company, now he's pulling a Hollywood style reconciliation.

He's molded his entire personae after Jason Jesse, but he's nothing but Joe Francis with a Harley.

Not a Nazi. Just a goofball. Everyone should just relax.

The Iron Cross was first awarded by the German Army in 1813. The German Army continued to award the same heroism medal through WWII. When Hitler came to power, they added a little swastika in the middle of it. The cross that was Nazi specific is a greek cross. It looks like a plus sign. The Iron Cross is not a Nazi thing, it's a German Army thing. The swastika is the Nazi thing.

Check out the wikipedia article for comparative pictures.
