You're, of course, right. But try explaining that to someone who puts a swastika on his sleeve.
Sisters and female cousins tie a decorated string on your wrist for a particular annual Indian holiday. I remember one year, maybe I was 10 or 12 - one of the strings had a swastika on it.
Edit: it was more subtle than this. Still, example:
-
(Almost) every temple in Taiwan (and rest of north Asia) will have many swastikas on them.
-
A swastika's nowhere near as embarrassing as that statue.
Jesus, what is wrong with you people?

It is unclear what the intent was in such a ridiculous piece.
It sounds like the guy's trying to sell it. $100K and it's yours, to do with as you will!
Maybe one of his sons will buy it.

You are of course correct, Horace. The problem is that any attempt at reason would simply be met with a tirade of nutzi indignation from he and his friends. There's just no point.
It's anecdotes like this that make me believe that left wing nuttery is way more prevalent than right wing nuttery. I hear about right wing nuttery from twitter reports by jon, little elsewhere. I live with, and hear personal accounts of, left wing nuttery.
I see both regularly. Don't like it from either side.
This.
