Convention wackiness thread - GOP Edition

If you go to the end, when they're trying to obscure it, and look at the big screen, you can see her closing NAZI salute, a criminal offense in most of Europe, where it originated...

Excuse me, but............

In some places, it is still referred to as Roman salute.

Brought to you by the guys who gave us the guy who made the trains run on time! (My family was out of there, by then.)

Back to our regular programming.................

And sometimes the Olympic salute. Not to mention that for a time (until 1942) US school children used it when saying the pledge of allegiance

I'd be stunned if she were a Nazi, but who knows? Maybe she is.

she was doing the water sprinkler dance

This perceived Nazi salute is the most absurd thing y'all have come up with, but keep up the good work. Election season turns this board into a real freak show. As much as I loathe the prospect of Hillary in the White House, I have never thought she was a Nazi or trying to act like one.

Same goes for Laura Ingraham. Sheesh.

But they complain about "us" ragging on Obummer as muslim, married to a tranny, ISIS sympathizer, being a communist, etc. But one little perception of a NAZI salute, and the world goes mad.

It was a drunk dare though.

Many said Reagan was through when he refused to endorse Gerald Ford. The man who manipulated the Mississippi delegation that gave the nomination to Ford over Reagan and orchestrated that convention show was none other than Paul Manafort, the ultimate Washington insider. But Trump is different. We will see. Even though I probably agree Cruz is through, it is a sad commentary on the country and it probably means the GOP is done too. It's Trump's Party now.

But Reagan wasn't a complete donkey about it. While Reagan didn't say " I endorse ford" he did make it clear he supported him.

Sorry, Randy, I don't buy that. It's popped up in his rallies also. It may be a fringe, but it's there...

You've set a high (low?) bar with your material over the years; we're just following your lead.

Yes, but surely Laura Ingraham isn't a Nazi. She's an Alabama fan:

 

[TIDE-HSV]

LOL! Surely the twain shall not meet. The truth is that it's an incredibly emotionally-charged and world-infamous gesture. I'm not buying that anyone who does it, does it totally unconsciously. You gotta go out of your way to do it right...

 

[92tide]

They'll use this picture as proof.

Looked to me like she was just waving to the audience. I don't know why she would want to be associated in any way with the Nazi's.

People see what they want to see...or claim they do...

 

[NationalTitles18]

Does anyone have any evidence other than an awkward wave that she is a nazi, white supremacist, or otherwise inclined to liking the real Hitler? If not, it seems on its face to be ridiculous.

No, but I hear she weighs the same as a duck.

 

[Crimson1967]

Plenty to criticize the GOP about, but this is silly. She is looking down at people and waving at them. I don't know anything about her but I seriously doubt she decided to do a Hitler tribute as part of her speech.
