Not the stache

Dear White People On My Corner,

Nazism (or national socialism) is not the same thing as Socialism.

So standing outside my post office with a big-ass sign depicting President Obama all Hitler-mustachioed (not to be further confused with Ralph Macchio), is wrong. Besides being inaccurate (wrong), it’s inappropriate (wrong) and offensive (wrong). It’s wrong on so many levels that it’s just pretty fucking ridiculous. It does not illuminate your own political savvy, but rather points out your desperate attempts to malign through generalization and assumption. “We’re just saying that Obama’s a Socialist.” “No, bitch, you’re trying to say that President Obama is a Nazi.”

Six million Jews died under Hitler. Yet you’re pointing your bigoted finger and throwing around the image of Hitler as if there’s a direct correlation. It’s the same way people casually tag on the word -Nazi in conversation whenever they’re at a loss for another noun that means “controlling and overbearing individual.” Soup-Nazi, anybody? Damn, I’m not even Jewish and I find that shit offensive. If people start using the word -Klan as a sitcom catch-all catch-phrase, I’m outty!

Back to you, WPOMC. Is your Hitler-stached Obama an attempt to woo Jewish people to your cause? Is it an attempt to scare the masses? Or are you just too hate-filled and small-minded to think that the rest of us really don’t know the difference between various economic and political theories?

I have a suggestion for a different sign. It’ll stop more traffic and get you even more attention. I suggest you put up a sign that relays your true sentiment: “We don’t want a nigger president.”
