Yes that *IS* Michelle Malkin in this picture with that guy with THAT SIGN

UPDATED: Michelle Malkin takes photo with man holding swastika Obama sign

Published Tue, Feb 17, 2009 5:37pm ET by Karl Frisch

That's noted right-wing shill Michelle Malkin posing with who we've dubbed "Swastika Guy," owing to the sign he carried right onto the stage with State Senator Josh Penry, Congressman Mike Coffman, Colorado GOP Chairman Dick Wadhams, State Senator Dave Schultheis, former Congressman Tom Tancredo, and Independence Institute president Jon Caldara, among others. None of whom did anything about it, and in fact one person defended the guy to one of our people saying that the swastika is not a Nazi symbol, but an honored Native American symbol.

26. The nazis would have ground her into hamburger if she had truly
been around them. I never saw a more self-loathing person ever than her.

6. You should read how the 'stormfront' types feel about this picture...
both Malkin and the "fools" pictured with her.

Some of it borders on the unfortunately it's protected free speech.

9. Well, she does support rounding up people and putting them in internment camps.
So the swastika is quite fitting, actually.

I couldn't possibly think of a more fitting name for a member of the Republican party.

12. Dick Fuld
Okay not necessarily GOP but....
http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1877351_1877350_1877326,00.html

25 People to Blame for the Financial Crisis

The Gorilla of Wall Street, as Fuld was known, steered Lehman deep into the business of subprime mortgages, bankrolling lenders across the country that were making convoluted loans to questionable borrowers. Lehman even made its own subprime loans. The firm took all those loans, whipped them into bonds and passed on to investors billions of dollars of what is now toxic debt. For all this wealth destruction, Fuld raked in nearly $500 million in compensation during his tenure as CEO, which ended when Lehman did.

14. Defended? So he's using it as a Native American symbol to support Obama?

The swastika is inside of the "O" in Obama on the sign. The sign is calling the president a Nazi.

16. I walked by that rally on the way to see the VP leave the signing.
OMG! It was sooo tiny! The only news van was from the local fox affiliate.

18. Only the craziest of the RW crazies showed up
As one poster noted, it was a very small crowd with minimal news coverage. The Twenty-nine-Percenters aren't even showing up, just the Frothing Fringe.

She's a bad person. A bad, bad person.

22. Gee, these dumb asses don't even know the origin of their own hate symbols
The swastika is one of the oldest symbols know to mankind but it comes from the far east. It originally was a symbol of peace and understanding. Much like they don't know they founding philosophy of their own country.

And they think they know how to run the country. Unbelievable.

23. After 8 years of living
Under a dictatorship now they think they are living under a dictatorship. Stupid is as stupid does. Too bad nobody had a pie handy.

24. There is a native American swastika, a Hindu swastika and a Nazi swastika
The first two are left-facing swastikas. The other is a right-facing swastika.

The swastika in the photo is a Nazi swastika.

25. Correct
Plus most followers of Eastern paths would never use black ink to draw it out.Blue or gold are the predominate colors though others are used at times,also.
But black? Never.Those who still use it for the original meaning are very cognizant of how the symbol is currently seen and will never use it in anyway that could even hint at what it stood for under the nazis.

27. The Buddhist swastika is also left-facing
First-time visitors to Japan are often startled to see the locations of Buddhist temples on maps being indicated by swastikas.
