I do, because that's exactly what the media has been focusing on, and they've been making a point of trying to associate the symbol with Nazism.
What "media?" Aside from the news outlets that initially published the revenge porn I've barely seen any mention of the tattoo.
I'm curious how exactly you think the Republicans got a hold of these pictures to begin with if you believe they are actually behind this somehow.

There are more slam dunks in this thread than in an NBA Slam Dunk contest.

And all of it on a tankie.

I find myself pleased with this. Metaphorical slam dunks like this hit harder and don't get you arrested like Eric Clanton and his bike locks. :)
A friendly reminder that accusing people of supporting Stalin or the Stalinist regime (which I don’t) without evidence is considered a violation of the rules. I quite frankly don’t give a damn what you think about me, but I’m not sure that others would be the same.

:LOL: I like this pretending it doesn't exist bullshit. As if it's not as easy as looking on a search engine.

So how did they get a hold of them? These were private photos, right? Who had access to them? Are you seriously suggesting Republicans hacked them somehow? Because from what I read, they were found on a website that was all about showing off one's wife or girlfriend. And since there's a divorce involved now apparently, hmmm, I wonder...

Ok then, let’s check out the articles that I found under "news" at the time that you made this comment:


Out of the 9 articles, three of them mention Katie's (alleged) tattoo. One of them (the Baltimore Sun) is clearly written by a conservative, so we can cross that out. The Newsweek article discusses a comment from a conservative pundit who brought up the tattoo. The Daily Beast article (which mostly focuses on the issue of power imbalances) only mentions it once.

So yeah, for the most part the only people who actually care about the tattoo are either tabloid click whores or conservative pundits.
SB pretends SJW don't exist even though you can find them on youtube or the news. Its typical at this point.
I literally conceded that "NPC's" or whatever exist in my first post lol:
If you think that main thing that concerned "NPCs" about this story was the claim that she (supposedly) had an iron cross tattoo and not that Republicans spread revenge porn of one of their political opponents to get them out of office, I don't know what to say.
But hey, keep talking on about what sjws are supposedly like.

So how did they get a hold of them? These were private photos, right? Who had access to them? Are you seriously suggesting Republicans hacked them somehow?

It's been suspected that Hill's husband leaked them originally. However, he didn't publish them on a political news website.

I don't see how the photos fall under the public concern exception, especially considering that they also included pictures of the staffer that was involved.

Just to note--it's not 'alleged' at all. One of the released photos shows it. Unless the photos were doctored, which is possible, but a much larger claim than the repeated suggestion it doesn't exist at all that isn't born out by available evidence.

It's also rather hypocritical, because the iron cross HAS gotten push from left-wing media as a hate symbol in other contexts (ICE agents having a tatt that resembled it and thus being white-nationalists as the example which occurs to me offhand). Them not bringing it up in relation to Hill is just hypocrisy...But any media bringing it up as some kind of 'hate symbol' proof as those three you highlighted suggest is stupidity as well--the Iron Cross having much more connection and likely being used by Hill more in its extreme sport/music context than it's white nationalist ones...And even THEN, Hill may well have changed her positions from youthful nuttery.

Of course, those photos shouldn't have been released at all either, as they seem to have been by the husband, because...yeah...revenge porn is some immoral horseshit that deserves to be condemned. Shouldn't have been published, either. Especially not in the form they were without the face of Hill's victim blurred-out.

Didn't she upload some of those herself to Reddit?

Some people love posting their sexual exploits.

See I've heard "what's good for the goose" but never sauce. Are you an American?
European. I've heard both but picked the one that I first thought of and checked to be sure I wasn't messing it up. Also I believe I was hungry at the time so went with the tastier sounding one.
