Davids Medienkritik has the picture. The politician in question, first arrogant, has apparently since backed off. Sometimes even our "friends" need to be reminded that there are consequences for slapping America in the face...if not during the election, as that might have an effect on it that we can't predict, then after. Let Schroeder know that he or members of his party using these types of images during the election are not going to be forgotten as soon as it's over. Don't grant this guy, Schwanitz, a visa to visit. Don't grant him diplomatic courtesies. Let Schroeder know we hold him responsible.
I suppose the point will become moot at this point, but I'm not sure just disappearing the poster is good enough.

1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
