3. This seriously looks like a propaganda picture from the Third Reich.

SS hero valiantly protecting innocent blond children from the evil Jews.

4. A further elaboration on this theme

is a photoshop in the margin of Eric Holder with horns growing out of his forehead, although I'm sure the 'Jews have horns' meme predates Nazi Germany by several centuries.

7. The meme may have predated the Nazis, but it was very successfully used by them to justify genocide.

The connections with that brand spanking new disgusting picture and the ancient meme are very clear.

11. I just remembered something else

There were Nazi propaganda short films depicting Jews as rats. Fast-forward to the 2000 (s)election and ads with a subliminal message embedded: a segment of the word 'Democrats,' 'RATS,' in some gooper campaign ads.

16. The "Jews have horns" bullshit was prevalent back in Luther's time. One of the real stains

9. 9-11 imagery? Is there nothing right wing wack-a-doos won't pimp 9-11 for?

Just remembering that saying about what Fascism will look like when it comes to America.

14. 'Us' and 'Them?'

Checking the imagery, I question who is depicted as 'Them' - terrorists? Democrats? Liberals? African Americans? It's obviously a ploy to conflate non-conservatives with terrorists.

15. I just about had my kids thinking that cops were good and helpful.

Then one night around midnight they had to come and wake me up because the cops were beating the crap out of the neighbor. (The neighbor was very drunk and called the cops himself, he was not beating his wife or kids).

The beating stopped when the cops realized they were being watched by the neighbors. They tried telling us to go inside, it was obvious they would have kept it up. And i think they wanted to, even though the guy was on the ground in cuffs and his eyes were swollen shut.

I think my kids got a lesson that night.
