the s.a. were hardly a left political organization. that, like so many other conservative-specific left=right "arguments" is empirically false.
national socialism has nothing to do with democratic socialism. never had. never has. never will. unless you make shit up. which is fine if you're writing fiction.
it is obvious that bill sparks is being taken as a canary in the mineshaft. ambient neo-fascist style populist conservative mobilization around "issues" on the order of the census. a census worker ends up lynched with FED carved into his chest. the linkage at the media-event level is obvious.
it's not surprising that conservatives would want to swat this away. it's a Problem for them. it's the sort of association that marks the neo-fascist style agitation for what it is. what's funny is the lengths to which conservatives will go in order to swat it away. funny, even.
at the same time, the fact is that we collectively still don't know what happened exactly.
but that doesn't make the symbolic linkages any more or less pertinent.
