Alt-Right has major freak-out that Colbert can do sarcastic Nazi-salute and they can't.

Everybody stop the presses. Colbert did a sarcastic Nazi-salute. This is absolutely outrageous.

How come a liberal comedian like Colbert is allowed to make a sarcastic Nazi-salute on his own show during a comedy-routine, while when a right-winger like Jeffrey Lord tweets "Sieg Heil" everybody believes that he actually meant it?

Why does he get to make a Nazi-salute and fine people carrying torches and chanting Nazi-slogans don't? Whyyyyyyyyyyyy?



First of all, doing a Nazi-salute is a bad thing and the mainstream-media should fire him for this!

And second, doing a Nazi-salute is absolutely not a bad thing!
It's not the Nazi-salute, it's the Roman salute and there's nothing wrong about doing a Roman salute except when a liberal does a Roman salute as part of a comedy-routine, in which case he should be fired for doing a Nazi-salute.





And the obligatory:

(They are absolutely pissed how the "mainstream-media" takes the intention into account with which the Nazi-salute was done. Intentions only count when it's convenient to them!!! I guess, these are the same people who complain that they aren't allowed to say the word n****r.)
