(55,026 posts)I'm not sure a big graphic of a KKK symbol needs posting here.

(53,410 posts)The hood in the first cartoon is supposedly a KKK symbol.

(22,401 posts)I understand the reference to the hooded white mask, but if you want to make a point about Rush Limbaugh's actual view, the KKK flag would be more fitting.
I didn't post this just as an FYI. I think the actual KKK flag is much more evil looking than the cartoonish hooded mask.
The KKK isn't a bunch of goofballs running around in white sheets, they are an evil and violent organization. The actual KKK flag to me looks like the crooked cross of the Nazis and better shows what their politics (and the politics of Rush Limbaugh) are all about.
and someday I will figure out how to shrink images when posting them.

(6,606 posts)One thing that seems odd to me: Why the apostrophe in the center? I'm sure it has some meaning but it looks like a random punctuation mark to me.

(14,956 posts)That round center part on their flag - I think it's either sometimes, or always sewn on their Klan clothing.

(16,553 posts)That's what my mind went to, anyway. Those slimebags are famous for burning crosses on the lawns of people they want to intimidate, after all.

(25,405 posts)Today I noticed that my neighbor, who has a flagpole in his front yard, has the US flag at half-staff AND upside down. Neighbor, BTW, is about 80 and last March spent over a month in a hospital with COVID-19, followed by a couple of months in a rehab facility.

Some people are too lazy to try to understand. But, yes, there are some acronyms that are not well known.
