Posting pics of Nazis at ANYONE is wrong. If that is the only way that you can make your argument then you really should just bow out and say absolutely nothing at all.

The fact that the person you posted that pic to is a poster of color makes your already abhorrent "debating" technique that much more worse. And to be honest, if anyone is exhibiting "authoritarian fascist" behavior, it is you and not the person to whom you are responding.

We have become exactly what is shown in the picture I posted, if you dare to look below the surface.

This type of overblown, melodramatic, fact free foolishness is one of the many reasons that the word "fringe" gets tossed around when describing the type of people who engage in this type of rhetoric. You can be against drones, NSA surveillance and other ills without being so pedantic and overwrought to compare what is happening to the Holocaust. For the life of me, I have absolutely NO idea why you guys can't understand that when you talk this way, NO ONE TAKES YOU SERIOUSLY.
