    My question, though, asked if all swastikas are now considered hate symbols? Could I design a religious structure and put them up as decorations on the stone or woodwork without causing a public outcry?

    The one going counter clockwise was/is a religious symbol. The clockwise one was Nazi. The idiots/scum probably didn't know the difference. But Mummy and Daddy will employ lawyers who will make that case and try to reduce the crime to simple vandalism.

    In all likelihood, the precious snowflakes will get off with a fine = cost of cleanup and community service. The pillory would be good, but these days that is considered cruel and unusual punishment.
    All swastikas in the Western world created by adults after WW2 are racist. If it predates WW2, is created by an innocent child, or is made by someone from a non-western culture where nazis aren't a significant historical marker, then no.

      It's The Finger. I'm sure there are lots of cultures the world over where a middle finger means something different. But in this culture everybody knows what you mean when you use it.

        Er, I mean, republican donors will be selected to attend.
        This appears to be the new GOP ploy to holding town hall meetings without actually holding them. Jason Lewis held three of them last week, and you had to apply for a ticket. Most people who applied from the locality where one of the events was held was given a ticket to a different location, keeping the numbers down. Those in attendance had to submit all of their questions and concerns via a card submission. There wasn't really a chance to have a discussion. It's scripted from top to bottom. Why? They're getting their arses handed to them any time they actually host a real town hall meeting.

        Are all swastikas now considered racist? The Nazi swastika went the other way, and I'm sure the attorneys will wiggle this point. The rest of the crap is racist and the fine upstanding young men are going to have a mark in their permanent records.

            Shock of Shocks DNC Chair Perez ticked off the Progressive Wing again by endorsing Cuomo. This clown is going to screw up everything he touches. And yes Kepler I know you respect him but screw this crap you are a friggin Bernie Bro and this guy wants nothing to do with you. If the DNC blows this Election Season it will be because of him and his cronies.

              Clinton did the same thing. Their best bet was to stay out of it and let the voters decide. This is really really really ****ing dumb.

                First off, I'm not a f-cking Bernie Bro. I'm an economic liberal who wants to see us return to high social mobility, even if that means socialist policies. But I'm a Democrat, not a third partier.

                I (obviously) acknowledge the problem of the DNC mainstream shutting out economic liberals, but in this case Cynthia Nixon is a sideshow eejit and I would endorse a centrist over her.

                There is no reason to have a public p-ssing contest between Rover Dems and Kepler Dems. We've got a bigger problem now. My order of battle is:

                1. Kill Dump
                2. Kill the GOP WITH FIRE
                3. Kill the Rover Dems

                In each case I will play kissy kissy with the targets lower down on the list to kill the higher targets.

                    Yeah... a dude who works on others' elections in PA and has even ran himself called it after Perez got the job. Bad news. It's also hilarious that abuela has mentioned wanting more women in power and then came out of hiding to endorse Cuomo over Nixon.

                      Whether she is a side show or not the DNC cannot play favorites all it does is feed the rhetoric against them. Why this clown felt it was a good idea to endorse someone (when he is trying to unify a divided party) before the Primaries is beyond me. Let the voters make their choice stay the bleep out of it. All he has done now is tick off the people who feel the system is rigged and that worked out oh so well in 2016 when the Dems did that.

                      There wouldnt be a public ****ing contest if he just shut his mouth and let the system play out. HE created a problem because HE miscalculated. When Nixon loses now any chance the IDC comes back or the Progressives dont throw a fit is nil. Whoever told him this was a good idea should be fired and if he came up with it on his own it backs my belief that he was the exact wrong person to be in charge of the party.

                        They're always going to play favorites, they just suck at picking the favorites and are clearly doing it on an ideological basis.

                          100% correct. He needed to stay the **** out of it and let New York decide. Now he's royally ****ed up. Clinton can do whatever she wants. Any other Democrat can do what they want endorsement wise. But Perez, and Ellison need to stay the **** out of the fights.

                            That's fair. For the record Perez is a very savvy guy so I think he was likely forced into the endorsement by circumstances. He's not the kind of guy who makes unforced errors.

                            I would be all for a firebrand TRUE LIBERAL DNC chair, but (1) nobody with any political ambition is going to step willingly into that meat grinder -- it's our equivalent of being a GOP Speaker, you can only fail, and (2) I'd prefer to save our firebrand TRUE LIBERALS to run high profile campaigns anyway. I don't want to waste Gavin Newsom, or even Keith Ellison, in that thankless role. I like Perez because he's an utterly unelectable technocrat who also knows what he's doing. Howard Dean is not walking through that door, so for now I'm OK with him. At the very least he has the instituitonal knowledge and chutzpah to tell Hillary where to get off if she ever darkens our doorway again. He's not some b-tch like Kaine or McAuliffe.

                              Who would have forced him though? Isn’t he in charge?
                              He can’t be doing these things in the lead up to November
