Holy s***! (Or, "sometimes it rhymes") [1]

Going thru my morning ritual of visiting lefty websites (starting with Kos of course), came across this article on Salon —
How to crush a nation's soul: The Nazi crusade against "degenerate" art
- and this was its concluding paragraph:
More conformist artists, on the other hand, enjoyed much more flattering official reviews. Just blocks away from the infamous Degenerate Art Exhibition, Nazi officials staged a competing show, the “Great German Art Exhibition,” whose centerpiece was an enormous canvas featuring Hitler on horseback and in immaculate plate armor, gazing toward the future and carrying a Nazi flag. For all of Hitler’s obsession with aesthetics, art had become politics by other means. Degeneracy had not been replaced by morality, wrote artist Oskar Schlemmer, but by “tried and true purveyors of kitsch.”
www.salon.com/… The article is totally worth reading.
It was very easy to find the above picture, along with the pair below. Nothing on the pages they came from gave any hint they were snark or satire; the people who created these images were expressing their total devotion to Dear Leader, just as Germany’s fascists did a century ago.
(Apologies for forgetting to add “they’re all equally scary” to the poll below.)
