So, you don't think the person is equating what Obama is doing with the Nazi symbol? If that is your conclusion, then you are making an ignorant post. Give me a break.

Oh, and Limbaugh seems to want to spread the lies too:

Limbaugh - Obama Healthcare Logo Similar to the Nazi Swastika

Amazing! The ancient symbol of healing and health is now a nazi symbol? That man is a complete and utter moron!

Okay then ...

I just posted the image of the swastika and frankly, I think it's just another anti-proper information campaign from the right. Look at Limbaugh's sorry ass doing the same thing.

Really, could you at least make an attempt to look back a bit at just how freaking long that symbol for medicine has been used? Uggh.

The U.S. Army Medical Corps Branch Plaque. The 1902 adoption of the caduceus for U.S. Army medical officer uniforms popularized the symbol throughout the medical field in the US.

Caduceus

Quote:

The caduceus ☤ (pronounced /kəˈdjuːsiəs, -ʃəs/, from Greek κηρύκειον) is typically depicted as a short herald's staff entwined by two serpents in the form of a double helix, and is sometimes surmounted by wings. This staff was first borne by Iris, the messenger of Hera. It was also called the wand of Hermes when he superseded Iris in much later myths.

In later Antiquity the caduceus might have provided the basis for the astrological symbol representing the planet Mercury and in Roman iconography was often depicted being carried in the left hand of the Greek god Hermes (Roman god, Mercury), the messenger of the gods, guide of the dead and protector of merchants, shepherds, gamblers, liars and thieves.[1][2]

The caduceus is sometimes used as a symbol for medicine, especially in North America, through confusion with the traditional medical symbol, the rod of Asclepius, which has only a single snake and no wings.....

So, was our Army Medical Corp in 1902 Nazis then good Reverend?

I don't even know what you are bloviating about...

Tell me, what is my position on that symbol? What is my argument. Quote and link please because you are making little sense in this strawman building your engaging in.

Well you post the two images, side by side...conclusion? When this is in reference to Limbaugh making this claim, one can only assume the obvious you are seeking to support him. If not, you should have stated otherwise.

But I do thank you for the picture, I might be motivated to use this as my avatar.

uhm, I took the link provided by a liberal in this thread, and simply posted the picture in question.

While it has a humerous resemnlence to the nazi thingy, its not really something other than..... funny..... Not something you need to get all straw manny about.
