Wow what a stretch. If this doesn't smack of pathethic and dumb

In 2008, we were treated to Jeff Greenfield's amazing analysis when he said, "Obama wearing a jacket with no tie would remind people of Ahmadinejad", the then President of Iran. Which no one thought of, except him.

Lest you thought the analysis by Jeff Greenfield could not be outdone, Mike Bird has proven us all wrong.
Mike Bird, clown writer for Business Insider and denizen of the Hostel of Mad Mod has weighed in somehow decided that the logo reminds him of the Arrow Cross Party, an obscure fascist party that existed from 1935-45 in Hungary, whom very few people probably remember. And those that do, probably don't fixate much on their flag.

Maybe it's just me, but I just don't think Hungarian Fascist Party when I see HRC's logo and I do not support her.
I'm guessing he must have combed every image page to find the resemblance or, maybe, he's a member of the party or has a relative that is or was.

But lest you think I would deny you the right to make up your own mind, here you go:



I just don't see it

2. I've seen dumber claims. But not by much n/t

Seriously, how does a long-defunct Fascist party from Hungary become your immediate go-to?

6. a long-defunct Fascist party from Hungary ...

with a flag that looks nothing like the logo he bases his ... er ... writing on.

Column inches, folks ... column inches!

3. Someone at DU claimed it was the World Trade Center on fire on 9.11 nt

4. People see the strangest things I guess

Example of... I see what I want to see
Kind of like the ink blots

7. Curses! The secret is out!

Gosh darn you, Mike Bird, for your relentless and thorough research!
