Former professor unapologetic about hanging Nazi banner outside his home
Quote:ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.— Neighbors in southeast Albuquerque were upset after seeing a banner, with a swastika on it, hanging outside a house. The banner, which was up on Election Day, said “Vote Republican.”

The homeowner, who eventually took the banner down, said it there to make a point.

"It was an expression of opinion of what I think of the Republican Party under Donald Trump," said Richard Berthold.

The former UNM professor is no stranger to controversy. Following the September 11 terrorist attacks, he made a controversial comment to his class.

"Remember the faculty member on 9/11 who said 'anybody who blows up the Pentagon gets my vote?' that was I," he said.

After the comment gained national attention, Berthold later apologized.

"There is a serious lack of humor in academe, so I didn't get along with a lot of my colleagues," he said.

Berthold felt his neighbors, who were offended by the banner, also lacked a sense of humor.

I wonder if he's a former professor due to his grammar.

I mean it is a good comparison since Trump opened up FEMA death camps with gas chambers and ovens.

Don't forget he first marched into the neighboring nations and conquered them before he started killing millions of non-people.

Heck, we're getting everything out of order.

First he took over schools and brainwashed all the kids. Wait a sec... that was American democrats. My bad.

And I do recall seeing a Trump version of the Nuremburg Laws posted on his website when he was running. He will probably do that via EO.

Actually the problem is that he doesn't have a sense of humor.

What is any professor doing with a Nazi banner? I would sure like to know what his answer is for that? Did he get it at a rally?

While I find his display vile and abhorrent.... It was on his property and it is protected free speech. I do not have to like it...I just have to live with it. The only avenue I have to deal with pukes like this is to ostracize them from my life.
