You know I kind of agree with him on this one since it is the 3rd time the NYT has done this. If it was the first time I would just write it off.

Happy to give the editor the benefit of the doubt, he just seems like a friendly weirdo. But by far not the first time he put his foot in it. https://www.thewrap.com/ny-times-crossword-editor-apologizes-for-slur-in-new-years-day-puzzle/amp/ @LosPollosHermanos Still weird though. Someone dun goofed.
Funnily enough this lefty is accusing conservatives of not seeing the swastika. Goes to show that @VooDooPope's narrative of "you DeSantis Nazis are seeing something that isn't there" doesn't hold, at all.
Since Jews are always on the take anyway, I'll give you this one's: With maximum honesty and respect, get the **** out of here with this weak ass ****. While I'll grant you the NYT and antisemitism are long time **** buddies, this is incredibly dumb. We haven't been bribing admissions offices for millenia just to have our intelligence insulted so. Trippy, swirly, geometric **** is cool. The Nazi party doesn't have a monopoly on symmetry any more than Brett Kavanaugh does on beer. In case you're sincerely interested in what an actual dog whistle sounds like, perhaps I can be of assistance: "The company founded by a man named Henry Ford – good bloodlines, good bloodlines if you believe in that stuff. You got good blood," ~the American president in the year 2020 You can do better.
I never called you a desantis Nazi or said you couldn’t see a swastika there if you go looking for one. the point I made was you are full of faux outrage over a cross word puzzle but have no outrage over actual Nazis supporting the same politicians as you. if nazis shows up flying their flags at rockets games and the rockets didn’t shut that **** down, I’d stop supporting them. yet when nazis support Trump, desantis and the gop you aren’t outraged, don’t denounce them, and continue to support politicians that promote the policies the white supremacists and neo Nazis support. back to your faux outrage over a crossword.
1) I was never "outraged", so there is also no "faux outrage" 2) My "support" for DeSantis goes as far as posting on this message board that I like his Covid policies and think he is a good politician. I certainly haven't been to any rallies nor am I planning to attend any nor am I a real life expert on US politics. My political discussions regarding US politics are limited to this subforum. As to DeSantis, I have never seen him say anything remotely Nazi-like. If you see fascists everywhere to the right of you, you probably think 95% of the world are fascists. You might want to question yourself at that point. Once again, I am not sure what he can do about these 10-12 Nazi assholes. If it were more, he should probably denounce them, but I don't think they are worth goving them that attention. In contrast to Trump, I don't see him pandering to them either. I may be wrong, but as far as I know he is very pro-Israel and these crazies certainly are not. Back to your faux outrage over DeSantis. P.S.: Good luck to these 10 redneck Nazis trying to get Jews out of Boca. Feels like it's 80% or so Jewish here. I like it.
We really should have a term for this sort of phenomenon... How bout we call it, oh I dunno, 'cognative dissonance', or something like that? Naw, that makes no sense. My big ole bad.
How can things in contrast be the same? Edited for righteous indignation: Are you seriously positing that Joe Biden's (using your example) response to the attendance of flaming Nazis at his shindigs would be in line with that of Trump or DeSantis? Are you willing to consider the possibility that Nazis, whether ten or ten thousand, overwhelmingly support one over the other? Please help me understand, because I want to take you seriously.
I may have missed it, but I haven't seen DeSantis call "proud boys" "very fine people" or anything like that. Trump loves flattery because he is a malignant narcissist, so he will think everyone is a fine person who kisses his ass. I haven't seen DeSantis embrace these folks, if anything, he seems to ignore them? I would think that he would have nothing but contempt for them?
So your plan is to simultaneously build a defense of DeSantis around contrast to Trump and of Trump around similarity to DeSantis? Considering the alternative, I hope you think I'm the dumbest person on earth.
Are you seriously suggesting that this article indicates Nazi sympathies, or are you referring to a different article? https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/17/...ytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
