If the Parkland students are Nazis, then who the heck are these other people?

1. They did not see it as a Nazi salute, they spun it as one. nt

11. I agree. This is a rather pathetic attempt at spin...

I think most people are familiar with what the open handed Nazi 'sieg heil' salute/greeting looks like versus the closed fist sign of 'power' that the Parkland student, David Hogg, used.

This disgusting attempt at spin will hopefully bite the RW gun extremists in the butt in November and for decades to come.

2. The "others" are members of SIEG HEIL-R-US!

The Parkland Students are fighting for the protection of all Americans and not giving up!

3. They're just economically anxious, totally not racist Trump supporters.

They just want a good coal-mining job, that's all.

5. Does no one remember these Olympians from 1968?? They were hardly nazis...

7. I remember

10. I remember because they had come to my college

It was before my time, but people were still talking about them. And the last thing they were associated with were nazis. It amazes me how soon people forget - both the statements these athletes made which were big news at the time - and any student of history knows what nazis did and stood for...

14. Another conveniently forgotten fact by the right? It's likely their

bots are just trying to put one over on the less informed.

8. It totally would have been a Nazi salute if he had....done it completely differently!

9. The author of that piece is a college history prof with a PhD

That is crazy.

12. The Alternate Defintion Of PhD, Right?

Perseverance for the Highest Degree. I question what the author really learned.
