Get ready to be called racists and gun-toting thugs again!

The couple who murdered two Las Vegas cops have been associated with swastikas and the "Don't Tread on Me" Gadsden flag. I like the Gadsden flag and support the 2nd amendment, but despise everything about Nazis. However, this story will be used to tar all of us. Just wait and see.

    ummmmmmm .... the Nazis were called national
    socialists, but did they not operate like fascists,
    "letting" the private sector continue to own the means
    of production, but directing the operations centrally?

    "Nazism may be considered a subset of Fascism,
    with all Nazis being Fascists..."
    -- http://www.fact-index.com/n/na/nazism.ht...
    and our current administration is operating this way,
    directing operations centrally. leftists.

    please note that I am NOT calling the current
    folks Nazi -- just fascist. -- j

    that's why something like Sean Hannity's "penny
    plan" makes sense -- like inflation, it lowers all
    boats. -- j

    How do you hold a bag of slime in a noose? All it has to do is change its shape and slide right out again. These (excuse the use of the word in this case) people have no bones...

    Swastika = Nazi symbol
    Nazi = National SOCIALIST Party
    Nohting to do with my point of view. Sorry, libtards.

    The bat-spit crazy liberals are just plain deluded...again.

    Difficult to tell what the truth is. According to initial reports, the armed citizen fired at the attacker and wounded him. The Fox report does not mention this. I've learned a long time ago to take whatever is in the media and divide by 25.

    The Joker and a henchman are symbols of anarchism? I'm not aware of that. As anarchy is based on the non-aggression principle, it would be very contradictory. V from V for Vendetta is a more popular symbol from what I've seen, but he's certainly not a henchman, more of a freedom fighter defending himself and others against a corrupt and brutal government.

    I'm afraid that it's not merely a clever plot angle (unlike the Gulch). Every explosion needs a spark to start. (OK, being an engineer, I know that's not precisely true - diesel engines do not, nor do nuclear bombs, but give me a break, it's just a saying).

    Yes, I loved that show as well. Too bad it got cancelled after only one season. I remember reading something about this a while ago. I'm not sure that the Indian design had any real front or rear direction, it was used either way based on aesthetic concerns. The Nazi's on the other hand, definitely had a right way and a wrong way.

    AR was brilliant, but you can't think of everything. However, the Casus Belli angle was a very clever plot angle in Glenn Beck's The Overton Window.

    Uh Oh! I've got the Don't Tread On Me decal on the rear widow of my car. However, I refuse to be branded or intimidated. Those dunderheads that do so are....well, dunderheads.

    And the Red Star has been used by the Soviets and the Chinese; guess we shouldn't have it on our aircraft. Come to think of it, the Nazi's breathed air - would it be good if the libtards voluntarily gave up breathing air? Now, that would be a start of a new and bright future!

    IIRC, from an old episode of "Kolchak: the Night Stalker"... the Indian swastika's "arms" go the other way...

    At 2:30 they explain the swastikas seen earlier.

    (this episode is on Youtube in six parts... along with a lot of other episodes... I used to love this tv show... but I digress...)

    Strugatsky made a comment about the concealed-carry civilian elsewhere in this post at around noon today.

    "extremist right-wing groups" is an oxymoron.

    The Gadsden Flag should be popular among all groups, when you think about it: "Don't tread on me". Can't you see that being invoked by pro-gay-marriage groups?


    I remember the poem, "Invictus", which I liked... until Tim McVeigh forever tainted it before his execution.

    I about went off at work last night. This left-winger (who happens to otherwise be a rather nice, humorous guy) got on his typically left-wing condescending high-horse about this. When I came into the break room, he was saying, "I'm tired of right-wing terrorists telling us" ... I tried to break in, saying, "How do you like *working* with a right-wing terrorist" before I knew he was talking about this incident.

    But, he wouldn't engage, and was not in the break room when I got back with my drink. While we've yet to butt heads, I think he realizes that he'd get his rear handed to him debating me on such issues. He's like the teachers who go into the profession to be the wisest and most powerful person in the room.

    I remember a used bookstore being picketed by some morons because they had an old book by Rudyard Kipling that was adorned with what looked like swastikas. This was a common adornment in India and had nothing to do with Nazi's, but these people couldn't be told differently. They wouldn't leave until the owner took the book down.

    Yes, they are starting to do so. Just saw a couple of articles about how these two were at the Bundy ranch (which will probably give the feds whatever "probable cause" they think they need - if they even bother to establish PC anymore - to get warrants to investigate everyone else who was there, in the interest of "safety" and "preventing another mass murder."

    Swastikas (Nazis) were actually socialists... which is far left of center... the Gadsden flag is representative of right of center... and the couple had pictures of themselves on Facebook dressed up like the Joker and a henchman of some type (anarchists)... seems to be a bit of a nutball with an identity crisis more than anything else. But you are right, the media is going to say they were died-in-the-wool Tea Partiers.

    By the way, any reported-word on the mention/rumors that a concealed-carry civilian first shot one of the assailants in Walmart that led to their giving up and committing suicide?
