Indeed, gentle reader, your eyes do not deceive you, that really is prejudice-addled Filipino anchor-baby, Michelle Maglalang Malkin mugging for the camera at an anti-immigration rally in Colorado with someone whom Progress Now Colorado has:
“… 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.”
Which I’m sure is exactly the meaning Swastika Guy and his xenophobic asshole friends were trying to confer by replacing the “o” in Obama’s name. The staggering irony here is that Tancredo and rest of his half-witted white supremacists pals don’t seem to grasp that absolutely everyone except the Native Americans are immigrants to this country.
The swastika is also found throughout Asia and is most associated with Hindus, Buddhists and Jains. Straightdope elaborates:
“In the 1870s the swastika was greatly popularized by the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, who found many examples of it during his diggings at ancient Troy and Mycenae. Schliemann was fascinated by the swastika and publicized it in his books, referring to it as an Aryan religious symbol. Schliemann himself was not a racist, but the swastika was soon taken up by less principled writers, who were attracted by the Aryan connection as well as by the symbol’s strangely compelling experience. Hitler may have been introduced to it through the work of the fanatical Aryan supremacist Jorg Lanz von Liebenfels, who was using the swastika as the symbol of his cult as early as 1907. Many anti-Semitic and militarist groups had adopted it as well by the time Hitler commandeered it for the Nazis around 1920. Even he was a bit surprised by the impact it had on people. It is undoubtedly one of the most effective political symbols ever devised.”
