In reply to the discussion: Why is so much effort being spent defending a Nazi symbol? [View all]RandomNumbers
(19,286 posts)15. True, but what about Warren?
I forget, did she endorse Fetterman too? (serious question and I'm too lazy to look it up at the moment)
OTOH, ** TO ME ** Fetterman had much smaller red flags at the time he ran. Not sure if it was the stroke or if he really was a fraud all along, or if he is being extorted/blackmailed/leveraged (whatever the correct term is) due to his wife's immigration status. No doubt he's turned out badly for us. But he is still a helluva lot better than having Oz in his place.
All of which emphasizes to focus on the other primary choices - but be prepared to support the D who wins the primary, even if they are considerably less than perfect. Getting control of the Senate gavel is the most important issue on the ballot in November.

I just don't see the responses as going down the path of revisionist history.

Of course people here would not defend Hegesth if he got the exact same tattoo when drunk.

Hegseth is a Republican. Republicans do not have to defend their behavior.

But the death head skull is NOT as universally known as a nazi hate symbol, like the swastika.

I see no posts that say that. You have to give me verbatim quotes (in context) that you read that way.

I have not seen Platner called a Nazi but I have no reason to doubt it. I haven't followed every thread.

Nice. So if I have a T-shirt that has an arrow pointing upward, you will call me a Nazi?

Maybe its just an awkward tattoo just like Musk's hitler salute was a awkward gesture per the ADL?

It's not the tattoo, it's the attack from centrists against progressive candidates.
