Big Swastika Painted Outside My Door - Page 3 - Politics and Economics

Money grubbing? I was using money as a way to measure how happy their defacing my property turned out to make us. It had nothing to do with religion. I was just rying to taunt some criminals.

I would think better examples of Jews money grubbing would be the well educated scientist who, upon realizing that even though he was smart enough to learn advanced things he was not likely smart enough to invent anything new, so he should instead try to be a big fish in a little pond populated by the semi smart in the non scientific financial world.

Ah! it was taunting. Excellent.

Got it.

Obv I was joking....but the notion of a Jewish person measuring things in terms of money lends itself to antisemitic jokes. I'm also glad you're ok and in a position to taunt the people who did it.

Can someone explain the bracket "joke"? It's been brought up in a few different threads and I'm out of the loop.

Sorry about the hate-vandalism DS. Maybe set up cameras on your property to catch them next time.

Obviously the Trump win emboldened these folks even though there is no chance that Trump would have approved and almost no chance he is an anti-semite. They will learn this soon enough when they see Trump's upcoming inner circle. Still this incident does prove that the people who say that Trump's rhetoric is dangerous, even if he doesn't mean it, are correct.

Personally I was amused rather than appalled or fearful. For reasons I need not go into here. Neither was Sue. But she did write about it and post a picture on her facebook. And the next thing you know she got sympathetic replies from several of her facebook friends including a couple of woman who offered to come over and use their expertise to remove the symbol.

They did just that and refused payment or even gas money. More importantly they hit it off with Sue as they discovered they had many similar interests including sewing and veganism. Since Sue is visually impaired she can't drive and doesn't have a chance to meet that many friends in person, but these two ladies will now be added to that group. They probably would never have met otherwise. So here is an example of a bad incident actually being good. I wonder if those painters would have still put up that art if they knew how it would turn out. Frankly I feel like I owe them five thousand dollars or so. Perhaps they would like to come back and collect.

Couple things:

The left has a very solid resume of faking hating crimes. And the sad part is you already know that yet you still post this.

Ann coulter practically wrote an entire book on documenting the left faking hate crimes to make it look like the white privileged frat boy is doing this.

ALSO........... Why in the world would actual trump supporters do these sort of things? You didn't see it before, so why would they do it now when trump WON?

As Fleishman and Smith explain, “The symbol comes from right-wing blog the Right Stuff, whose podcast The Daily Shoah featured a segment called ‘Merchant Minute’ that gave Jewish names a cartoonish ‘echo’ sound effect when uttered. The ‘parenthesis meme,’ as Right Stuff editors call it, is a visual pun.” As the Mic authors note, that same blog also explains on one page that “all Jewish surnames echo through history,” meaning that — and this is Fleishman and Smith again — “the supposed damage caused by Jewish people reverberates from decade to decade.” The idea is that it’s a “silly” way to make Jewish names sound evil and sinister, in other words

It's a play on the Muslims aren't reporting extremists! meme. See something, say something is the mantra that's used to remind Muslims to report extremists

Except who is rioting in cities all over the nation now?

I mean cmon, you guys really can't be that gullible. What was the one before the election where the black church was burned and they spray painted vote trump?

So laughably obvious that militant leftists did that to make it look like trump supporters did it.

You don't need Ann coulter to prove the left fakes tons of hate crimes. All she did was document many of them in her book.

I remember one specifically without coulter having to tell me. At duke they hung some black mannequin from a tree. Everyone screams OMG racist republican frat boys!

Then it's proven that lefties on campus did it. And their excuse was like racial hate awareness for doing it when they were caught. And the administrators at the school were cool with it and didn't punish them.

Also just read some Muslim chick is getting charged because she lied saying some trump supporters ripped off her hijab or whatever, and turns out she was lying.

ETA to your point, such as it is, we must conclude then that having won is not relevant and thus you've demolished your initial point in attempting to defend it. You are bad at this.

i think in situations where act x benefits party y and disadvantages party z and you don't know who did it, it's always reasonable to at least allow the possibility that party y did it

and all those "vote trump" + swastika signs benefit democrats much more than republicans. that's why first ones are all happy using it as a political point while the second ones are distancing from it

of course that is not to say that people don't do stuff that is self-destructive and stupid and which is bad for their party

It's just a way of expressing how happily a normally very disturbing event turned out. 'Silver lining', and all of that.

I did read it, and I wasn't saying it was awful. But somebody graffiti'd his house (even ignoring the swastika part), and he's amused, concluding with "I hope they come back so I can give them 5k." Only Sklansky.

DS, consider reporting this to the Anti-defamation league. They can keep track of a possible rise in such incidents in your area. It likely just a dumb teen joke but you never know. Here is the reporting url.

Given the fact that he doesn't actually subscribe to any old hatreds, no.
