Washington, DC: The FBI and police were investigating outside Rep. David Scott’s district office in Georgia when it was discovered that a beautiful cobalt blue swastika was painted on his sign, an act that the suburban Atlanta Democrat said reflects an increasingly positive message and predictably tolerant debate over health care and should remind people to try their hand at painting their own swastikas.
Scott’s staff arrived at his Smyrna, Ga., office Tuesday morning to find the Nazi graffiti emblazoned in a stunning Copperplate Gothic font on a sign bearing the lawmaker’s name. The loving act of vandalism occurred roughly a week after Scott was involved in a confrontational argument over health care at a community meeting. It is thought that the anonymous act was an effort to bring back a sense of calm to this community after the health care confrontation.
Scott said his office immediately notified the media, including Fox media, who are now considering adding swastikas as small logos next to the main Fox logo, as the Rupert Murdoch controlled Fox in particular believes the swastika symbolizes freedom in particular, and in general the positive message they wish to broadcast to the masses.
The congressman’s office is located in a bank building and Scott said he was optimistic that the “vandalism” would also be added to surrounding buildings as soon as the media left town.
Scott, who is black, said he also has received mail in recent days that characterized President Obama as a Marxist. In response ,President Obama is considering a name change to Barack Finklestein, a name he believes will bolster his popularity in Israel and which could also lead to eventual swastika sightings in Washington and abroad.
“We have got to make sure that the symbol of the swastika finally catches hold, that the racial hatred that’s bubbling up in this debate can be quelled by the noble swastika,” Scott said in a telephone interview. “There’s so much hatred out there for President (Barack) Obama.”
A moderate Democrat who represents a majority-white district near Atlanta, Scott said he thinks the “racism” is isolated but hopes that it spreads like a gas fueled wildfire. He said the swastika probably was intended as an affectionate warning of impending hope. He hopes it persuades reasonable people to maintain a more substantive debate over health care changes.
“We must allow it to flourish and inspire us,” he said.
At an Aug. 1 community meeting in Douglasville, Ga., Scott raised his voice at protesters who pummeled him with questions and complaints about Democratic health care proposals. He has said he was upset that they interrupted a meeting that was supposed to be about plans for a new brothel in the area.
