Popping a nazi salute is just the natural instinct of this last place blowhard. Must be in the blood.
It might be the pot calling the kettle black. These lefty socialists have all of the makings to be just as fascist as the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei. It was Hitlar who believed that the state was superior to the individual and used Himler to create an Aryan Race Project to institute an new faith. Such a faith was to replace the Christian faith with a faith in the "pure blood" of Nordic and Germanic mythology. The cult of the warrior elite surrounded those in state leadership. Hitler as the prophet of the Germanic people was given a godlike position. Christianity was discouraged as a practice that would not yield its full devotion to the fuhrer and for its insistence in the sinfulness of mankind. The Christian cross was replaced with the swastika to as Hitler said, "the red expressed the social thought underlying the movement. White the national thought. And the swastika signified the mission allotted to us – the struggle for the victory of Aryan mankind and at the same time the triumph of the ideal of creative work which is in itself and always will be anti-Semitic." (Mein Kampf) This is the same Utopian ideal that the Left embraces and one that deludes such mental disasters as Olbermann.
The tragedy of the Left is that they fail to see the parallels in their Cult of the State to the most bloodthirsty regime to ever inhabit the Earth.
