Robb has a great post on a person with a “Coexist” and other peaceful bumper stickers engaging in hateful aggression.
Les sends me this story on a larger scale:
German Olympic officials said Friday that a rower who was a member of the country’s women’s eight crew has left the Olympics after a broadcaster reported that her partner was a supporter of Germany’s far right.
The national Olympic association’s general director, Michael Vesper, said he and German rowing officials held a meeting with Nadja Drygalla in which she “stressed credibly” that she “is committed to the values of the Olympic charter.”…IOC spokesman Mark Adams said “I don’t think it’s an issue for us because she hasn’t said or done anything related to the games.”
They want to “Coexist” all right…but only with a monoculture that directly reflects their own views.
