This is true.

I suppose one could argue that an unaltered image of a boat with a flag on it, or a skipper with a nazi symbol around his neck, etc would be within some sort of historical context, but ADDING the symbols in photoshop to pictures that lack them... shows some political pathology, IMHO.

Not someone I'd invite to a dinner party, likely (and you should see the various political parties go at it over my dinner table sometimes ). Course that sort might not leave mom's basement often anyway, even if invited out.

PS—I'd say the same about Soviet or other communist imagery, BTW, they bumped off rather a lot of people as well. That includes those morons wearing Che shirts.
