How not to get your point across
Yesterday, the Seneca Nation of Indians held a rally in downtown Buffalo's Niagara Square to protest against the state's possible move to tax sales of cigarettes and gas to non-Indians on Nation territory. It's a hot button topic here, and people with long memories may recall a similar move by then-Gov. Pataki in 1997, in response to which the Senecas shut down the New York State Thruway. A video from WNYMedia.net:
The rally was typical and uneventful, and I thought that they made their point rather effectively, except for this one 15 year old kid who held up this sign: 
The Senecas certainly suffered a great deal in their history, and they have a right to enforce their legal sovereignty, such as it is, but does this Sagdiyevesque expression of dissent offend you as much as it did me? Doesn't equating the Holocaust with a sales tax dispute seem like a bit more than mere hyperbole?
suck it up
This is the type of hyperbole Republicans and Conservatives deal with all the time...suck it libs no one believes anyone who goes to this level to prove a point...

Gotta' love those guys in their feathed Burger King crowns doing their best impression of a Bill Maher rant. And they got their audience from Bills show too. Great theater in the 'Queen Town'. My advice......take a break, get out of the cold, go to Amy's Place for breakfast and a cup of coffee.
I am amazed at those ridiculing the ONLY group of people singled out to unconstitutionally tax and harrass... The very thing (LIE) they say is addictive is found in ALL Foods and in greater concentrations in such things as french frys and more and the way way they have gone at indoctrinating children to believe this lie in schools is nothing short of nazism at full force! The EXACT same thing hitler did in germany and no one caught it and by the time they did...millions had been slaughtered,gassed and burned not to mention experimented on and raped! Lest you think you are not or will not be next...just watch! They intend to take all land, freedoms and all rights away and the vast majority won't know or care until it grabs them or those they love! Science has not and can not PROVE any of the propaganda they have spouted for years...you should really learn the truth before you start making uneduscated remarks!
