WASHINGTON - Hyatt Hotels Corp called symbols of hate “abhorrent” on Sunday after the design of a stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference at one of its hotels drew comparisons to a Norse rune used by Nazis during World War Two.
A photo of the CPAC stage went viral on social media on Saturday, with thousands of Twitter users sharing posts comparing its distinctive design to an othala rune, one of many ancient European symbols that Nazis adopted to “reconstruct a mythic ‘Aryan’ past,” according to the Anti-Defamation League.
The ceiling of the conference room featured a lighting display in the same shape as the stage, according to Reuters photographs.
Hyatt said all aspects of conference logistics, including the stage design, were managed by the American Conservative Union, which organized the conference.
The comparisons were “outrageous and slanderous,” Matt Schlapp, American Conservative Union chair, said in a Twitter post on Saturday. He added the organization had a “long standing commitment to the Jewish community” and that the conference featured several Jewish speakers.

Well... Yes and no.
Odal, or Othala, is a rune representing stability and the home. Reversed, it would represent chaos and a breakdown of family or community.
As deeply divided as a Nation/culture as we currently are... It’s certainly apropos...
Why the National Socialists glommed on to it is a mystery to me...
Yep, You said a leftist saboteur in house is behind this. I agree, the design similarities are spot on.
Same as the employees in the Whitehouse leaking information to hurt Trump.
SMH
This is Soviet/Nazi level propaganda.
Triangles are racist, don’cha know.
Ask any advanced-placement geometry student...which is also racist.
BREAKING NEWS...cafeteria lunches have been declared racist.
Rodney Dangerfield always wanted one of those after his act.
Good Point! :-)
I agree with you! :-)
The National Socialists didn’t have an original thought of their own, but glommed onto Buddhist, Nordic, Darwinian, Marxist, and even eugenicist ideas from our own country.
Typically this is INTENTIONAL and is done because our side is TOO STUPID to politically screen the people they hire who are involved in ‘the arts’. Our side thinks that they want their money and can keep their politics at the door - and we will NEVER LEARN that is not the case.
In this case, who, exactly ‘discovered’ this ‘message’, and why were they looking at the stage, at that angle, from that far back? And how many people ever saw that Nazi symbol before today? That’s why it was obviously intentional, based on the PURE STUPIDITY of those at CPAC.
Sounds exactly like our current crop of Socialist/Communists...
Indeed.
The actual stage is nothing like the symbol. First, there’s a connection between the two back wings. Second, the back wings are actually full squares, they mounted the back panels to them in the middle, so there is room to stand and walk behind the panels.
where’s that building? Does it house N-n-neonazis?
Just wait ‘til their next hootenanny. We’ll find some symbol that means something somewhere, and then they’ll be sorry.
Epic fail all around.
“...in use long before third reich period, also.”
So, for that matter, was the swastika. Rudyard Kipling even used it in one of his early children’s stories, in all innocence.
“used in balkans to combat tito’s partisans”
Sorry to see you have been so thoroughly indoctrinated by the left.
You have swallowed the lefty propaganda on WWII Yugoslavia hook, line and sinker.
They never told you about General Milhialovitch and the Chetniks.
IIRC, the Navy drew up plans to renovate the site and turn the housing into more of a “broken square” shape with the central portion removed. Those were the Obama years, though, so there was never a budget approved for the work.
