geep,
I understand what you are saying, but you've compared apples to oranges.
Forgive me, but perhaps it is more relevent to ask if the punishment should be the same between painting a swastika and a smiley face on a bridge or painting them on a door.
In my mind, the answer is still "no", because if the image of the swastika is the problem, then shouldn't we just outlaw it all together? (and no, I wouldn't outlaw it.)
