I don’t know if CHOL for “chuckle out loud” is a known thing but maybe it ought to be.

Indeed, and I don’t think she is too smart consorting with Trump et al.
Apropos Hindus: I have mentioned it before, but Modi and his BJP is pushing India dangerously closer to a totalitarian Hindu federation. In some some states, like Maharastra, you can be jailed for eating (or storing ) beef. This can become very ugly, and the Muslim and Mhristian minorities, especially the marginalized segments, face more or less overt persecution…

Aren’t they just the cutest lil’ Nazis? And yes, let’s put some names to the faces and white robes…
This should teach Jewish people that when right-wingers talked about “Judeo-Christian” civilization, they are NOT including plain “Judeo”.

I will add to the chorus: Please call them white supremacists. They shouldn’t get to pick their name.

If these people want to explicitly identify themselves as Nazis I think that’s good news. Aside from the fact that for 95% of the population “Nazi” is synonymous with “evil,” I seem to recall that the Nazis were not a huge success when they actually held political power. So let the face of Trump supporters be a group that is reviled and was utterly destroyed. It just makes our job of discrediting Trump easier.
I think in the not-too-distant future we will look back on this whole period as the last gasp of a nihilistic movement.

This. THIS. Millions times this. They are Nazis. They are fascists.
The way the media have been dancing around this fact and kept coming up with this or that euphemisms to call those neofascists (e.g., Bannon is a “controversial” figure… WTF?) has made my heart sink to a depressing degree.

Nice basket you’ve got there.
What, no black figure or Obama hanging in effigy?
Stupidity knows no ethnicity.

That Milo guy is openly gay and accepted by the Alt Right/Breitbart folks. My gaydar unexpectedly spiked when I listed to the interview last week with Richard Spencer on NPR while driving home, which surprised me because homosexuals are supposedly a target for these kinds of groups (one of the Nazi SS leaders was apparently flamboyantly gay, so I guess they are flexible about it as long as the job gets done.)

They’ll accept certain gay folks—the ones whose racism and bigotry toward “those people” is sufficiently virulent and ugly.

Know your Nazies 101 :
I think you are refering to SA leader Ernst Röhm, who was killed in the ‘Night of the long knives’, where the SA (“Sturm-Abteilung”) which played a prominent role as ‘muscle’ at rallies and demonstrations during Hitlers progression to power, was subdued/liquidated by the SS, “Schutz Staffel”, directed by Himmler.

Really ? Lee Atwater gay ?
@beal–In our new, Post PC Paradise ™ we should feel free to call a thing by its true name.
This is unadulterated Nazism.
It really has come to this.

At least they can (mostly) spell Nazi. Fascist is tougher, and supremacist a bridge too far…
