That is not issue here. The issue is that propaganda machines are making an issue out of picture that was taken after there was an exchange of gifts. Diplomaticly speaking she did the right thing by putting on the hat and posing with the gave the gift. Diplomacy is something propaganda machines do not understand.If it had been a Swastika, would it have been okay?
It is exactly the issue. It is the reason I created the thread.That is not issue here.
The propaganda machine refuses to hold that symbol to its equal in evil - the Swastika.The issue is that propaganda machines are making an issue out of picture that was taken after there was an exchange of gifts.
If a diplomat had given her an historical hat with a Swastika, would that have been okay?Diplomaticly speaking she did the right thing by putting on the hat and posing with the gave the gift.
If that is issue, you should have used a non propaganda machine source.It is exactly the issue. It is the reason I created the thread.
Well feel free to contact your propaganda machine’s and inform them of the same.The propaganda machine refuses to hold that symbol to its equal in evil - the Swastika.
Depends on which way the vanes are orientated.If a diplomat had given her an historical hat with a Swastika, would that have been okay?
I didn’t use propaganda machines like ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, or the formerly respected newspapers now DNC propaganda sources WAPO and NYT. But attacking the source is deflection.If that is issue, you should have used a non propaganda machine source.
Yes or Yes. Because there is not a no answer.
This was my point. Why can’t you agree that communism is just as evil as fascism?Depends on which way the vanes are orientated.
All this, from a gift, that wasn’t even kept.There are some on the left who can’t bring themselves to condemn communism with the same fervor as they rightly condemn fascism.
The monsters that have led communist regimes for 100 years are no better than Hitler. Not one bit. Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro, Che, Chavez, Gorbachev, Ceausescu. They are no better than Hitler and Mussolini.
Follow the thread. I said earlier I don’t care about Psaki. I don’t care about a gift. I care about the willingness of some to hold two standards for equally evil political movements.All this, from a gift, that wasn’t even kept.
Mountain, molehill . . .
Sorry, the hammer and sickle is a logo of a legal entity which has diplomatic relations with the US. The swastika was the emblem of an outlaw regime.She was in her thirties. But even if she had been 18, would it have been okay if it was a Swastika?
Both were vicious, murderous regimes. Choose the one you want to side with and defend. I choose to side with neither and condemn both.Sorry, the hammer and sickle is a logo of a legal entity which has diplomatic relations with the US. The swastika was the emblem of an outlaw regime.
Which proves my point. We’ve been desensitized to the extent of the evil that symbol represents.Further, I have a friend who got a fur hat in Russia, complete with red star, and he would wear it while he is a conservative Republican.
I guess that’s how we should view the tens of millions of murdered civilians.This whole contretemps is small beer.
The Third Reich was never a US ally in peace or in war. We withdrew our ambassador after kristallnacht and never resumed normal relations.Both were vicious, murderous regimes. Choose the one you want to side with and defend. I choose to side with neither and condemn both.
So, that makes Stalin an admirable leader?The Third Reich was never a US ally in peace or in war. We withdrew our ambassador after kristallnacht and never resumed normal relations.
Yes. Example. Nikki Haley.Have you seen conservatives calling for the taking down of all Confederate emblems; symbols of evil by a group in armed conflict with the US?
Not as an intellectual response to removing Confederate symbols – she just responded to a racist mass shooting which could not be ignored.Yes. Example. Nikki Haley.
How do you know it wasn’t an intellectual response? Typically, progressives favor taking them down as part of their political power grab. We can see this by the way they run their inner city “plantations”.Not as an intellectual response to removing Confederate symbols – she just responded to a racist mass shooting which could not be ignored.
Not the same, but definitely equal to, in terms of oppression of individual rights, economic freedom, and a willingness to spread their evil.Your example fails. The hammer and sickle is not the same as a swastika, no matter how much you may want to believe so.
Okay, follow the thread. Psaki is not the issue. The issue is progressive willingness to defend an evil political movement.And what a person has on a hat years ago is no smoking gun.
Would you wear it if it had a Swastika on it?This isn’t really anything to get exciting over, I’m a chuck them out of helicopters anti communist and I have an old Russian hat like that with the hammer and sickle. I wear it occasionally because it’s warm.
I would just for the “Shock Value”Would you wear it if it had a Swastika on it?
How about a hat with both on it?I would just for the “Shock Value”
but would I buy one? No.
If somebody gifted to me, then “Game On” “Shock Value”
Symbolizing the defeat of that monstrous regime.Swastika, probably not, although I do have a belt with reich eagle on it, a Nazi arm band, an SA dagger, framed on my wall. They were war trophies my grandfather brought back.
Awesome “Shock Value”How about a hat with both on it?
