ARE THESE NAZI SYMBOLS?

The American Conservative Union (ACU), the organization behind the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), is “seriously considering all options,” ACU President Matt Schlapp told PJ Media on Monday after ACU’s general counsel sent a letter to Hyatt protesting the company’s decision to breathe new life into a conspiracy theory regarding the CPAC stage.
Leftist detractors strained to find a Nazi symbol related to CPAC, and they seized on the shape of the main stage. Leftists claimed that the stage was an inverted Odal rune, symbol some Neo-Nazi groups use.
Dear @Hyatt
Are you okay with Nazi symbols being used on your properties?
Because if you fail to speak out & do something about this immediately, I’ll be sure to no longer patronize any of your properties ever again.#CPAC2021 #CPACstage #CPACNazi pic.twitter.com/beFauYAMwO

The suggestion was absurd, of course. American Conservative Union (ACU) Chair Matt Slapp denounced the “stage design conspiracies” as “outrageous and slanderous.” CPAC supports the Jewish State of Israel, hosted multiple Jewish prayer services and Shabbat dinners, and denounces the anti-Semitism of Democrats who spread a modern blood libel against Israel. Even the left-leaning Snopes fact-checked the insinuation that CPAC designed the stage to look like a Nazi symbol and found it “unproven.”
Rabbi Yaakov Menken, managing director of the Coalition for Jewish Values (CJV) had the perfect response. “The left is desperate to draw attention from their elevation of antisemites in Congress… so they claim a stage design is antisemitic,” he said on Twitter. “The Left traffics in ‘dog whistles’ so incredibly sensitive that only leftists can hear them, as compared to supposed targets, who only see a stage.”

The ought to sue the people that promulgated this. That floorplan is commonly used in fan shaped auditoriums.
I thought it also looked a lot like Twisted Sister’s logo. Racists see racism everywhere!
We’re not gonna take it anymore.
What do you wanna do with your life?...
Haha Excellent!
Projection from the true Nazis of the left...who would even THINK of this other than deranged people?
The number of people who could ID the odal rune as such, and it having been used by Nazis, before this last week probably numbers in the hundreds. Maybe tens.
Haha Excellent!
The fact is that every line, shape and squiggle one sees probably has, at one time or another, been used in an unfavorable fashion -- all you have to do is dig long enough and presto! This is racist! And that is mysoginst! And so on, ad absurdum.
Doom on these hate-mongers.
I used to say “you can’t make this sh*t up”, but I have come to see there is no level of absurdity too great to discount.
It's not Hyatt saying this at all. They even dismissed it and said CPAC had every right to be there, and they (Hyatt) wouldn't be intimidated by the social justice warriors.
Let's get our facts straight.
Consider it?
They need to make an example out of the Hyatt corporation. Sue them into oblivion and make sure ALL of the details are public.
That symbol is on the side of the ranch house here on the ranch, few know it’s meaning or can identify it.
In my unwashed Protestant ignorance, I’ve always thought the Celtic Cross was a RC symbol. Many RC churches have one on their steeple, etc.
