In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton's Presidential Campaign "HAS STOLEN" OUR LOGO, Says WikiLeaks [View all]NanceGreggs
(27,835 posts)... DU is full of comments about the "symbolism" behind every aspect of the logo. Posters were divining the "secret signals" HRC was sending with "a red arrow pointing to the right" - "red is the colour of conservatism", "a red arrow pointing right sends a clear message", "red has been the color of GOP extremism since the 2000 election", and other such armchair psychoanalysis of a god-damned campaign logo.
So let's not be so disingenuous as to say that this was about people "laughing at the logo". They weren't laughing - they were spinning conspiracy theories about a fuckin' logo, and they were - and still are - the ones being laughed at.
Attempting to imply that it was the HRC supporters who were up in arms over a logo is pretty ridiculous. We've all seen the threads, and we've all seen the "interpretations" of it from people whose tinfoil hats are on a bit too tight these days.
A blue H with a red arrow - interpreted by certain posters as the very symbol of all that is unholy. That's what prompted the laughter, and the evidence of that abounds in every thread on the topic. And, quite frankly, your poor attempt to spin it as otherwise is equally laughable.
