as someone of jewish descent, 
the swastika and the nazi [/quote]

This is racist, you're connecting the swastika with just nazi germany, The swastika was adopted by the nazi's it's not an international symbol of hating a race, though people often put it as such, thus continuing the string of racism, and hate. you're using the very thing you oppose, you yourself also contradict your own statements.
Not meaning to be offensive or anything, this is just an observation. [/quote]

I have to disagree.

The Neo-Nazi's didn't choose to use the swastikas because they like the colors or anything else. They chose it because it was used by the Nazis in Germany before and during WW2.

What you accuse Sarah of doing is the same thing I can accuse the Neo (Or NEW) Nazis of doing. They've conditioned themselves to associate that symbol with a certain meaning, a certain belief. When Sarah (Or any Jew... or anyone else) sees that symbol, they're conditioned to instantly think about Hitler, the hatred that ran rampant around that time, the Aryan white supremacy and the 6 million dead Jews.

This is the same reason why I wouldn't walk around with a rainbow flag on my book bag. The rainbow flag is associated to gays and as much as I love the gay people, I am not one of them.

If the Neo (or "new") Nazis want to separate themselves from original Nazism, they wouldn't use a swastika.

The first step abolishing racism, is to just ignore their stupidity, and to say that republicans are the only politcal party with racists is a form of hate.
I'm not saying there aren't any, everyone has their own ways of dealing with racism, some more radical than others.[/quote]

I should clarify myself. I'm not saying all Republicans are racist. Not at all. Those who are Republican because they truly believe in small government and ties between God and politics, good on them. They have all the right in the world to do so.

What I AM saying is that "racist" isn't a registered party in the United States. And seeing as the current president is black and progressive. The Glenn Becks, Rush Limbaughs of this world have decided to pander to those people in order to gather more strength in numbers. In stead, it just makes them look like bigoted buffoons. [/quote]
