Atlanta, GA – Governor Deal Depicted As Hitler

Atlanta, GA – El Nuevo Georgia, a Hispanic newspaper published a doctored picture of Gov. Nathan Deal dressed like Hitler.

The editor of the newspaper told CBS Atlanta News the idea was to grab people’s attention about what will happen under Deal’s leadership.

In Spanish, he told CBS Atlanta’s Mike Paluska why the newspaper to chose Hitler.

“It’s a way to draw attention to what’s happening. It’ s a way to show what the people are thinking. Maybe it’s disrespectful, but, we are in a moment when people feel they are being attacked by the system,” said Navarro. “People are scared of Deal and fearful. The message is, we have to be aware of what’s going to happen, and we have to be more active in the community. We can’t lower our level of discussion.”

CBS Atlanta showed the picture to people on the streets of Atlanta. Many were offended.

”I think it’s terrible also about being Jewish it’s even worse,” said Roland Gurin. “Why would anyone do anything like that make him look like Hitler it’s a total disgrace.”

One man on the street said the picture doesn’t bother him.

“No, this is America,” said Jonathan Kester. “We have a right, the very nature of the point of what’s occurred is a result of this. We are now going to have a dialogue about it and I am going to do my homework to find out what’s going.”

Navarro said it’s open dialogue he wants to have with the Deal.

“To arrive to a point to start discussions, so we all are aware what the conversation is and what we are going to follow and what can we do so we aren’t hurt anymore,” he said.

Deal’s spokesperson, Brian Robinson, released this statement: “Those who can’t formulate a coherent argument in our society’s marketplace of ideas often resort to childish, even offensive, tactics. This is pathetic.”
