'OK' is now a hate symbol, the ADL says

Los Angeles (CNN)The "OK" hand gesture is now a hate symbol, according to a new report by the Anti-Defamation League.
The ADL added that symbol along with several others on Thursday to its long-standing database of slogans and symbols used by extremists.

The finger-and-thumb OK sign is universally known for meaning everything is all right or approval of something. But the ADL says while not everyone means it to be hateful, the sign has been co-opted by the alt-right.

It won't be long before we won't be able to communicate since everything, according to the left, is racist, sexist, hate speech, homophobic, or whatever. :facepalm2:

Groups like the ADL seem to be awfully concerned with the alt-right to the exclusion of what the alt-left does.  Why is that?
That fist thrusting into the air the left does at their rallies is similar to what the Nazis did. Therefore, why isn't that a hate symbol and subject to banning by the nation's various busybodies?

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

But it isn't Nazi, Its a Communist Salute. That gets it a pass with the ADL and other Leftists.

Funny they should target the hand signal for the most commonly used English word.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

He was. The Clintons were giving the "okey dokey" sign, but BHO was looking forward to a snack.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't that the official hand sign language gesture for the deaf to say Okay?

I do believe the ADL is violating several LAws here including the ADA. Also they are committing a hate crime against a group of disabled americans.

I believe a lawsuit would be in order.

@sneakypete  I have a prediction:  You can count up all the Briefers, multiply by two and that will be the number of digits being held up with two hands.
