Wow. I wonder how she would react if she knew that the swastika was originally a symbol of good luck. From what I understand, before the 1930's it was featured on American greeting cards and even used as a flag with the Boy Scouts.

Amusingly enough, that woman's use of unfounded fear tactics is extremely similar to a typical fascist propoganda movement. She relied on buzzwords and targeted a readily visible group of people (people with Iron Crosses and spiked collars tend to stand out).

Gotta love stupid people.
