Hmmm... Needs More Nazi...
Posted by Harvey at 10:39 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (24)

(A Filthy Lie of sorts)

Laura from Can't Keep Quiet took a look at logo for the Alliance of Free Blogs:

and decided that it looked a lot like a certain Nazi logo:

eagle_on_swastikapointed_150.gif

dropping broad hints along the way that of course a bunch of fascist right-wingers would choose a Nazi symbol to represent their organization.

Being as she's liberal, she is - by definition - completely and inarguably correct in her analysis.

In fact, it's time for Alliance to goose-step out of the closet and go with the logo that we'd REALLY like (see extended entry):

Whaddya think?

The stache is kinda cool... just needs a good hat to match!

Who is that? Groucho Marx?

#2 - Posted by: spacemonkey on October 28, 2005 11:42 PM

Nazism/Stalinism/Baathism are nothing to play with. There is nothing to be ashamed of in the eagle and star.

By the way, what is about dictators and heavy mustaches?

#3 - Posted by: Keith Emery on October 29, 2005 12:35 AM

don't we have some token libs in the alliance? i thought earl was in there and stuff, but i guess not.

#4 - Posted by: sarahk on October 29, 2005 12:37 AM

I'll go along with it as long as Frank J. doesn't try to throw Laurence Simon into a concentration camp.

Actually, I might still go along with it...

#5 - Posted by: SeanS on October 29, 2005 12:37 AM

My GOP handbook clearly states that I am supposed to like Paul Wolfowitz!

What the hell is going on here!
Did I miss a meeting?

My question is why the Alliance of Free Blogs bothered with that Girl Scouts of America star?
I mean, a vulture doing the Rocky pose on top of the GSA symbol? Couldn't they do better? Like maybe a Dachsund in spectacles yacking bile, crosswise, mounted over newspaper, shredded?
Now that would have shown a little originality.

#7 - Posted by: Grendle on October 29, 2005 05:40 AM

I only got scared after I found out that picure wasn't photoshopped.

Grendle - considering some of the other gay-ass choices we had at the time:

It's not surprising we went vulture/GSA...

>Who is that? Groucho Marx?

Nah, the 'stache in the picture is real.

>By the way, what is about dictators and heavy mustaches?

But most importantly, what is it about dictators and poofy hair?

By her logic, the US should abandon the Presidential Seal. Have you ever looked at the ADL's page on neo-Nazi iconography? (My pitiful 'net connection won't bring it up at the moment...) I've always wondered how many "tribal" tattoos incorporate Nazi symbols. (True tattoo story: one time I caught a guy trying to translate some saying he had come up with into Japanese using Babelfish. I managed to convince him that machine translation isn't good enough to permanently affix to his body.)

If Laura's such a student of history she should know that the bald eagle was adopted as the US national symbol in 1782.

And she ought to know that virtually none of the Nazi symbols or icons were original.

So what she sees as us inadvertently (or subconsciously as she hints) copying Nazi symbols is, in fact, the result of them deliberately copying us and others.

Scooby, you're obviously some right-wing apologist for the Alliance. Everybody knows that when a liberal speaks (or blogs), the words are true and rational. Remember, the left is the reality-based community.

#12 - Posted by: SilverBubble on October 29, 2005 01:35 PM

Most of her readers agree that bird + circle = nazi. they don't understand that fascism is a socialist varient and associate "right-wing" with "nazi". while their stupidity may be funny to us, our laughter won't stop them from trying to elect pol pot wannabe's.

Goe, being a spoilsport.

#13 - Posted by: goemagog on October 29, 2005 02:14 PM

I think she needs a life.

#14 - Posted by: SkyeChild on October 29, 2005 02:21 PM

She seems to have gotten tired of being mocked and challenged. She turned off the comments section to stop any new comments from being posted after making a cheap shot at me.

Yeah, I noticed that. It may have had something to do with me making a comparison between John Edwards and the backside of a mule.

> But most importantly, what is it about dictators and poofy hair?

Maybe they decided the "flock of seagulls" hair-dos just weren't intimidating enough...

#17 - Posted by: Chris on October 29, 2005 08:59 PM

Something's missing...
Hmmm...
Oh, yeah, the photoshopped bright white eyes with the red pupils!
That's it!

So, the Nazis hated Instapundit too? That's the first good thing I've heard about Nazis.

#19 - Posted by: abdul on October 30, 2005 01:37 PM

YEAH! I commented in the next blog, pointing that out, and they deleted it.

#20 - Posted by: Tristan on October 30, 2005 04:38 PM

Heil FrankJ, mein fuhrer!

#21 - Posted by: Der Schnitzel on October 30, 2005 08:42 PM

So funny; fascism killed 10 million; Communism (the lover of Liberals) killed 100 million and counting. So what's worse? Left Wing or Right Wing? You decide.

#22 - Posted by: Tim on October 30, 2005 09:52 PM

Hell, I want to know why the girl in her banner looks like she wishes she was giving some guy a blowjob.

#23 - Posted by: LCVRWC on October 30, 2005 10:21 PM

Cool to be fascists?
