Liberal radio host Thom Hartmann insisted on his Tuesday afternoon show that Republicans are promoting "a satanic agenda" with an elephant symbol with upside-down (satanic?) stars, allegedly promoted by George W. Bush. First, there is the "pure star" with one point on top. And then:
HARTMAN:If you flip that upside down...You’ve got the goat with his two horns up and his two ears on the side and the hair on his chinny-chin-chin sticking down at the bottom. The symbol of satanism. So when you flip the star upside down, it becomes the satanic star. And guess what the Republican Party officially did when George Bush was elected in 2000 or 2001, during the campaign of 2000, what the Republican Party officially did with their logo, with the three stars on the elephant?
PAUL, listener who called in: They flipped the stars.
HARTMAN: Upside down. Honest to goodness, I am not making this up. You can go to GOP.org and see it. [In reality, it's GOP.com.] The Satanic stars are now the official logo of the Republican party and have been ever since George Bush came into power, and still are, and these guys are still promoting what I think many people who are into that kind of thing would describe as a Satanic agenda. Paul, thanks a lot for the call. Boy, that one's gonna make a few conservative heads explode.
This is something that hasn't exactly been serious enough to be discussed in the regular media, but it's a regular subject in lefty Web circles.
