OP likely believes this is a white supremacist hand sign as well...

Who knew that Romans were Nazi?


I mean, the Romans killed millions as well. They had fascist times and republic times. They just got a lot better press coverage because of the anarchy that happened after their fall. That being said, I'm not sure that's a great pole to lean on.

A tertiary conservative does a hand salute to get a rise out of people.

The entire Democratic Party supports and implements racist policy that pits ethnic groups against one another.

While this is another own goal, it doesn't remotely rise to the level of the Democrat Party which is a literal racist organization.

I don't believe Elon meant to be considered a Nazi after he did it. Perhaps it's something they do in his country.

Very pro Roman but you have to remember low information voters and the products of the education system. Plenty of those DO believe a hand gesture defines the attitude and ideology.

There is just no need to make it easy for the MSM to mislead those kind of pliable minds.

Trolling here and there is fine -- but a political convention it can look defining. Just two cents though. Just opinion.

Still photos don't equate to a clear video. Elon has aspergers and makes very hurky jerky physical moves all the time. That can be explained away.

Bannon is a gutter trash opportunist who knows exactly what he's doing. And everyone on the Trump train should be disgusted by him and that and be comfortable saying it. Instead most are avoiding, deflecting, whatabouting, and a select few are laughing.

What a terrible take.

If it wasn't for the Bannons of the world we would still be letting the war mongering neo cons drive the bus of the GOP.

You really, really, really don't know what the **** you are talking about.

If everyone associates it as a Nazi salute it doesn't matter if the Romans did it or not.

Pretty easy thing not to do and stir up an unnecessary hornets nest.

It's simple. I don't want anyone associated with all the newfound success of the GOP making blatant trolls by doing the Nazi Salute so they can create their own attention and also muddy the waters of the progress we're making.

You apparently don't care at best, or support it at worst. Either end of the spectrum is wrong.

A notable conservative made a Nazi Salute at the biggest conservative conference in the US every year. Whether he was trolling or serious (I think he was trolling to bring attention to himself), it is a disgrace.

I know you are the biggest cheerleader for anything GOP and you will never critize anything they ever do, but this is a bad look for you. I'm not saying you have to go protest in the streets, but attempting to trivialize it like you are is pathetic imo.

Have a spine. You'd be crying and screaming if dem surrogates were quoting Marx at major events.

This is true. Never mind the Roman form is not identical and one can parse what one is doing or not doing. But that is to no avail. Its not a case of this being a big deal, so much as it is being tone-deaf to one of the misinformation levers the MSM-DNC uses to their advantage and playing into it needlessly.

And yet the Democrats are open Marxists/communists who made Nazis look like child's play when it comes to murder totals.

Will stand by on equal condemnation of that.

I literally couldn't give less of a **** about a hand gesture, and have nothing but contempt for someone so easily pushed around by progressives that they do.

If you haven't noticed the world has been pretty much turned upside down as to what is right and wrong. The problem with his gesture was that people focused on it more than the essence of his speech. Too bad people are not as outraged about terrorist proponents (the Real nazis) demonstrating in the streets.

Remember when we were told the OK hand signal was a white supremist signal? Same example here never let the opponent define the rule of the game and don't apologize to what they accuse you of

You mean stop using the gesture used to hail or acknowledge approaching or arriving or distant individuals across cultures and time the world over?

The Nazis basically utilized a stylized and very deliberate variation of what is a very general human acknowledgment gesture.

We need to start criticizing and ridiculing the hyperbolic nazi accusations when they are clearly ridiculous and misapplied..

I hate the theatrics. But no one with a brain thinks he's actually a nazi. This stuff is ridiculous and shouldn't be entertained in any way. The idiots kvetching about it should be ignored.

So true, so common sensical. To bad we have a media that wont let that happen. Everything today is sooooo hyper political. And its just going to get worse. If we dont chill our Republic is going to be in serious trouble.

Lib media can't decide whether to cover this story and propel Bannon back into the spotlight like he intended. Or ignore their knee jerk Nazi impulse, and not cover it.
