Hyatt calls hate symbols 'abhorrent' after CPAC stage compared to sign used by Nazis

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.

Wrong. Absolutely, utterly and entirely wrong. Photo shopped bs. There would be two SS runes, the ‘’lighting bolts’’ on that collar board. And, incidentally, this is an SS man with the rank of an ‘’Untersturmfuhrer’’ or second lieutenant.

No. It's not real. It's a total fake. There would be two "SS" runes on the collar board. The three ‘’diamonds’’ on the left one indicate the man in the photo is an ‘’Untersturmfuhrer’’ or second lieutenant.

The stage design is one that is commonly used rather than have a complete square. Two side steps up coming up to the center back of the stage.

It saves on the cost of the riser sections that would fill in the space— current cost of risers, set by union people per riser.... fairly expensive for a very simple thing to do. Estimate it eliminated the need for 6 to 8 risers to fill in vacant space that would never be used.

The ACU/CPAC needs to sue the shite out of the Hyatt and whatever f’ng MORON came up with this “symbolism”.

We should ALL... all of us put together the symbolisms of joebama and harris, and before that obamaumao. Mau Mau symblols for obamaumao. Malarkey for joebama is ANTI- Irish— like drunk and fighting references No Irish need apply.
As for the SWASTIKA it features in American Indian and India Indian history/anthropology. Hilter came up with it from an “Aryan” history symbology german guy— Pagan.

Nordic runes— are NORDIC not Nazi (we going to erase all history? Call every thing ANSOC— and the ‘Writers’ will all be named WINSTON SMITH.~ 1984.

By the way ADL-— where does the Star of David come from— isn’t that a symbol of HATE. It’s uh... on the flag of Israel, btw if they can’t find it.

Lunacy.

It’s a Nazi-ish sign in the same way that all of Hyatt’s buildings are penises.

That looks a lot like what Podesta had on his hand in that infamous photo.
