Let's see if I've got this figured out:

The Star of David is a religious symbol for Judaism. It is just a shape (outline). It's composed of two equilateral triangles which intersect to form a concave regular dodegon as its shape (ie: outside outline).

How does it become an anti-Semitic slur? By coloring it in (so the intersecting equilateral triangles are no longer visible) and putting in a background of Clinton cash.

In the form it appears, it could be a sheriff's badge, thus signifying that Clinton cash is an insult to those who abide by the law. It could be a star used in a Disney cartoon, thus signifying that it's a bad lesson for the children to have leaders who are so sold out to interests that bought them. Or it could be that all three interpretations are equally ridiculous, and a world of politically incorrect shapes would be a tough one to abide by.

This seems like a skit right out of Monty Python, with their satirical Bureau of Silly Walks. Maybe what's next in DC is a Bureaus of Politically Incorrect Shapes.

The retired Geometry teacher in me is cyber-screaming. A shape is an abstraction, an outline. Without filling it other details, it should not hold any imagined reality.
