The "W" and fascism.
Is it me or is the "W" symbol the new symbol of American fascism? Especially telling are the little black and white ones that show up on the "chic" foreign cars and SUVs. Reminds me of swastikas. I seem to see even more of them now since the "election." When will the "W" armbands be issued????

I am going to ask them just that.

When will the W armbands be issued?

2. Exactly what I thought....
Their "worship" of mystical symbols, like the "W" really reminds me of the Nazi use of symbols, i.e. the swastika.

Have you seen Rush's EIB sybol he uses everywhere, it's along the same lines. It must be something in the neo-con handbook.

3. Symbolism. The most effective tool of propaganda.
Goebbels would be PROUD.

6. Yeah, I don't like those 'W' stickers...
The black and white ones that say 'W - The President' creep me out the most. Because if there was no question about whether he was, it's a stupid, moot point, and to put it on a sticker like that is creepy. I can't even really put my finger on why, but it is.

7. UGA students at football games chant 4 more years
in unison while moving their right arms out and diagonally to the right. Very nazi like. Creepy. This was reported to me by a UGA student. It was happening at the last game before the election. There are 1,000s of expensive SUVs and pickup trucks driven by white upper middle class students that bear the W stickers. I've not seen any black or other minority young people with these stickers on their vehicles.

9. OMG. I am now truly terrified.
Did you happen to see the * picture that was on the cover of the Atlanta Journal Constitution a few days ago and in yesterday's online Guardian? * has a gold seal behind his head which looks like a halo from a renaissance painting. Scary, scary, scary. I don't know how to post pics yet or I would put it up here.

11. Thank you UDF.
Will that work for a MAC? I've got MAC at home & PC at work.
I've not used a MAC for a while.
