I find it somewhat duplicitous that an avatar depicting the President as an insane criminal is allowed, but one mocking the fears that some have of him is banned.

I actually looked at the small avitar, before and understood it. However, the moustache is just a thing, that Hitler took totally out of style (hiddin law forbidden), actually. You show up to work with a shaved moustache like that in anywork place, you'll probably fired. Or in a bar, beaten !
To be honest I don't like either Avitar (Socialisum, or the moustache), but it's suppose to be freedom of speech. Therefor it shouldn't have been forbidden on this site, or both taken out.
Hitler is always a no-no ... it always gets jerked off.

Hmm....some how I don't think the same outrage is shared with the Townhallers, Teabaggers and Birthers.....all of whom have displayed Nazi/Hitler symbolism at their pep rallys...If one believes that the Holocaust did happen, or has been effected by WWII, shouldn't that someone distance themselves from these nuts ??? Or is their conscience clear by doing nothing, which essentially is embracing these Nazi resurrectors.....
I changed the avatar, after many complaints, both reported to BC mods, and private messages. My thought process was, it was found distasteful to many. I think I changed it after fact check changed it to Obama with a moustache.
You could apply to the owner of the site, she has the power to undo anything we do.
As for would I do it again, yes I would if the same people complained. Majority rule. Many had much more seniority than fact check, I also took that into consideration. These posters have longevity here, fact check does not.
That was my rationale, flame away.
I can't post my Willie B pic but just pretend it's here you cry babies!

wkmac can take his crybaby comment and stick it firmly up his rear.

I don't know why your avatar was banned, but I can suggest a couple of possibilities.
As you know, I thought your avatar was Hitler. As avatars are so small, it makes it very hard to see details. I was more comfortable with it after you enlarged it so details could be seen. I wouldn't have an avatar with my President made into Hitler, but I now understand the message now that I've seen it.
We received complaints, perhaps because others thought it was Hitler too. We do not respond to every complaint, some are quite frivolous, but a Hitler avatar (even just perceived) does raise eyebrows.
As for the Joker Obama being OK, perhaps that could be because the Joker is a cartoon character while Hitler was responsible for the deaths of millions of real people.
I'm very interested in the responses this thread will bring!
