(Reuters) - The University of Missouri is investigating anti-Semitic vandalism in which "Hitler rules" was written on a dormitory poster, officials said on Tuesday, in the latest racial incident at the school.

The defaced poster was found at a residence hall. Campus police and the university's civil rights office were investigating, interim Chancellor Henry Foley said in a statement.

"We are angry to hear about yet another anti-Semitic incident in one of our residence halls over the weekend. This type of vandalism attacks everyone," he said.

The Jewish Student Organization said in a statement that it was the fourth incident of Nazi symbolism in a year.

Can you imagine the level of idiot that is getting into college nowadays to write that?

I almost don't want to believe whomever did this knows anything or even cares about Hitler, they just think that's some sort of Beavis and Butthead way of grabbing attention.

2. Why? Drumpf is about to rule. It's sociopolitically accurate.

Thirty percent of our country supports policies that Hitler would have promoted. This is a factual statement.

Maybe they can stop being personally offended by vandalism and frigging organize to keep a maniacal fascist from winning the leadership of the most powerful nation in the history of the earth.

3. Cue the campus "free speech advocates," condemning the school for imposing "political correctness"

Criticizing the investigation, because opposing points of view can't be heard.

They should be on Fox anytime now.

It's the Fox pundits who usually confound the issue.

I thought that my post clearly stated that.

8. It's weird that all of this keeps happening at Columbia

But not so much at UMKC, MST*, or UMSL, at least that I am aware.

* There was a Rolla kid that tweeted racist death threats, but even that was aimed at Columbia students.

Swastikas, "kike", hissing at me (like a gas chamber), yeah, but not "Hitler Rules." Of course, most of the hate directed at me in college was homophobic in nature.

I know that's the wrong attitude but it would be a satisfying move.

13. A good smacking seems ever so much simpler than trying to reason with an idiot.

I'm sick of the pain they cause others.

I wouldn't actually smack them, but it is a wonderful mental image to play over and over again in my mind.
