Tic Tac Totalitarianism

Some right-wing lunatics are convinced that the "Occupy Wall Street" hashtag is a stylized swastika (I'll be damned if I'm going to link to Pajamas Media). Yeah, bet you never knew that the "#" sign was all Hitlery and shit. In fact, children are being indoctrinated into liberal fascism every time they play a common children's game. Yes, dear readers, now the truth can be told about tic tac totalitarianism!

On a serious note, the whackaloons who are accusing the "Occupy Wall Street" movement of antisemitism conveniently omit the fact that a Yom Kippur observation at the protest drew hundreds of participants- once again, the facts don't back up the allegations.

Mr. Bastard is an innovator. This incident would be the funniest for some time, probably since Sasquatch Is Real. I like the way that The Other Zombie gets more and more defensive as the comments pile up.

I actually wrote this around 7AM, then set it to post while I slept off my graveyard shift.

Bravo.

I'm still steamed about not being the first to write "Ozymandumbass".

I need a "neologisms" tag- hell, I need to tag my posts.

I'm not going to honor that slimeball with any traffic- he was a shitbag for a very long time, and did a lot of harm. He's not redeemed himself in my estimation. He needs to do some serious penance before I'll have a shred of respect for him.

It was news to me that turning a symbol through 45 degrees so it stands on a corner -- as the Hakenkreus is shown on its corner in some but not all Nazi regalia -- is the tell-tale transformation of Nazification. The equivalent of playing music backwards or turning symbolism upside-down into a Black Mass.

Has someone pointed out to this nimrod that issuing a brassard to event marshalls is not enough to turn the event into fascism, even in Goldberg land?

Usual Nazi iconography was to use the standing-on-corner version of the Hakenkreuz for land-based flags and the unrotated sitting-on-edge version for naval ensigns.

Both versions are equally Nazi.

Exactly correct about Chuckles Johnson 4B. He got some heavy shit to get rid of.
