The Shomer: The Hitler Meme And The Man Who Posted It (re: Photoshopped image of Gov. Polis) [View all]

by Dave Flomberg


It’s Friday evening and the sun is about to set. It’s almost Shabbat. My friend Lauren messages me on Facebook to point out this reprehensible meme that’s become all-too common since Jared Polis was elected governor of Colorado. Colorado’s first gay governor. Colorado’s first Jewish governor.

The meme is posted on a thread on the governor’s Facebook page about masking up during Halloween. It’s not the first time I’ve seen it. And it won’t be the last.

This time, I decided to do something about it. I send a message to the man who posted the meme:

Hi Rich. My name is Dave Flomberg, and I’m a columnist for the Colorado Times Recorder. I’m wondering if you’d be up for a discussion regarding your post of a meme that displayed Jared Polis photoshopped to look like Adolf Hitler. Is there a time you’d be available to chat?

I will not post the image in this thread. To get the reaction of the man that Mr. Flomberg engaged please go to the link.
