@HarshReality...
I get the free speech part, and can respect that...but I also feel that free speech does not obligate anyone to help disseminate the message of hate.
I am well aware of the ancient and wonderful history of the single image of the swastika...between the Buddist, Native American, and Indian use for the last few thousand years...it was a symbol of life, good luck and power.
BUT this is not just a swastika...it is an image of the Nazi Iron Eagle clutching the swastika surrounded by a wreath. This image was created by the Nazis to utilize that imagery in their new 3rd riech. In all of history this particular image has represented nothing else by the extermination of 12 Million people where were different...because they were different.
And I am sorry...that last comment was just plain stupid and completely brought your well written post down to the level of my 21 month old son. I am quite liberal when it comes to peoples lives and life-styles, I think this world has gone insane with its its hyper-PC attitude. But to compare my shock at seeing a NAZI MANUFACTURED IMAGE
Iron Eagle - A symbol used by Nazi Germany that is often used by Racist Skinheads and people within the White Power Music Scene. The symbol can be represented in several ways, but all contain the same basic elements of an eagle over a swastika.
So next time get your fact straight before you get up on that soap box buddy
