Yet More Lefty Hypocrisy
by randomridge | 8:28 am, February 18, 2009 | 2 Comments
I personally don’t condone the use of the swastika in such frivolous contexts as protest signs – it trivializes the symbol of a truly monstrous evil. I’ve condemned this before, most recently in my photoessays of the pro-Hamas counterprotests last month.
But that said, it’s hard not to laugh at the outrage from the nutroots over Michelle Malkin posing for a photo at yesterday’s rally with some guy who happened to be carrying one such frivolous sign.
For balance, Michelle presents a gallery of just a few instances in the past eight years where leftards thought it was perfectly acceptable (if not the height of political wit) to compare George W. Bush with Hitler. Did Media Matters or Daily Kos criticize those instances as inappropriate?
And what about the numerous instances of lefties protesting against Israel or the U.S., and turning the “S” in each into a swastika (often luridly dripping blood)?
While I think it inappropriate to use a swastika in this way, regardless of who is using it, I can’t really take seriously the previously silent (if not complicit) left’s whining now that it’s being used to blaspheme their Most Holy Messiah.

Of course not! Why would anyone conclude that errors are geographical? Errors are errors and attempts to reinflate the British economy using the same hot air compressors that we use here aren’t going to work any better over there than they have here.

Surely the hammer and sickle should be equally offensive. The scope of the atrocities committed in the name of Communism far exceeds the horrors of Nazi Germany.
