    Seriously if you had to do that much reaserch to figure out what a vanity plate stands for then most people aren't going to "get it."

    I am trying to find some hidden offensive message in my license plate number. Busy day for me.

    Quote from the article:
    The Council on American-Islamic Relations was among the groups offended by the plate. The truck bearing the plates also featured graphics of the Confederate flag and the phrase "Everything I ever needed to know about Islam I learned on 9/11."

    The alleged meaning behind this plate:
    The "88" is sometimes a coded reference to Heil Hitler, as each word begins with the eighth letter of the alphabet.

    The "14" is thought to stand for the number of words in a white supremacist credo. The "CV" is an apparent reference to the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

    I can undestand them being offended by that just like they should understand why I am offended when they shout "Death to America" on thier streets. Maybe we should head over there and have them enact some new laws to protect our sensitivities.
