ProgressNow Colorado was at today's presser put on by Colorado Republicans and their Big Oil-funded front groups. We're still pulling stuff together to show you, but you have to see this right away:
That's noted right-wing shill Michelle Malkin posing with who we've dubbed "Swastika Guy," owing to the sign he carried right onto the stage with State Senator Josh Penry, Congressman Mike Coffman, Colorado GOP Chairman Dick Wadhams, State Senator Dave Schultheis, former Congressman Tom Tancredo, and Independence Institute president Jon Caldara, among others. None of whom did anything about it, and in fact one person defended the guy to one of our people saying that the swastika is not a Nazi symbol, but an honored Native American symbol.
Yeah, I am totally sure that is what Swastika Guy was referring to.
Updated--Here is the video of the whole thing.

The sheer foolishness of your post can rightly be called... incredible. First, the stimulus bill, by nature of how little is marked for infrastructure, and by the ridiculous "shovel ready" requirement (PopSci covered the issue rather well the other week), isn't going to do anything to solve infrastructure problems. So your first point fails. Your second point also fails: education issues in this country cannot, and will not, be solved by tossing more money at the problem. That's a fact that is backed up by a plethora of a research: I suggest you go out and read some of it. Your third point is so foolish it barely deserves a response, however, suffice to say, the free market is a check on the argument ad absurdum you've presented. Your point on the bad PBJ sandwiches and spinach is just... well, I didn't think it could get worse.
Now, with that said, I think you might want to reconsider your last word. There's an old saying, those who live in glass houses shouldn't cast stones. Will all due respect, that's a saying you should live by ;).
The beast shows its face. The photograph of Malkin with the swastika bearing nazi should serve as a wake up call to all patriotic Americans that we are under attack from an enemy within. The real terrorists are the neocons relentlessly attacking our president, and all that middle America stands for.
If you doubt this, look at what the neocons do....NOT what they say. All of our institutions are under attack. They are hard at work "outsourcing" America to corporations. The falacy of the "liberal" press is one of the Big Lies the neocons have succeeded in establishing. Michelle Malkin, Bill OReilly, Ruch Limbaugh et. all. are succeeding in destroying the America my father fought for in WWII.
To the average republican voters out there: If you really care about America and the future, you wouldn't be drinking the kool-aide of the hysterical right.
Don't be stupid! Wake up.
BTW, the only republicans to blame for the mess were in is the ones in Washington. They duped the rank and file voters of their party and paid the price. Too bad America's paying too....
Remember that old saying that you'd see in so many company office hallways and meeting rooms? "Either lead, follow, or get out of the way!" That's good advice for the people upset that Obama is now the elected leader, and actually doing something......
The swastika is surrounded by an "O" next to "Bama".
The man is claiming OBAMA is a Nazi, not supporting Nazis, you nits.
Jeeeez. Why does someone have to explain this, are you really that stupid, or do you just think your readers are?
Argue with his point about Obama==Nazi if you want, but stop trying to paint him -- and thus Malkin -- with your stupid pro-nazi meme.
The only people shouting "Death to Jews" these days is liberal college professors and the speakers they bring to college campuses. It certainly isn't anyone on the Right.
It wasn't only the Jews who were slaughtered by Nazis, but I think you're aware of that.
BTW, please give specifics when accusing people of "shouting Death to Jews". I don't think you can.
The Nazi symbol has NO place on stage with an elected official, ANYWHERE in the United States - for ANY reason.
Also, Malkin and her ilk use the same time honored tactics the Nazis used in media then: shout a big lie long enough, and eventually people will begin to believe the lie.
