Madonna has been vying for your attention since 1982. But some say her latest stunt may have finally gone too far. The 53-year-old pop star flashed a Nazi swastika image over the face of France's far-right party leader during a concert in Paris on Saturday, The Associated Press reports. And now, the party plans to sue over the "insults."

The image was superimposed over the forehead of Marine Le Pen as part of a montage that also showed Madonna with a Hitler mustache. In June, Le Pen warned Madonna not to use the image in France after she pulled the same stunt at a concert in Tel Aviv, Israel.

"We understand how old singers who need to get people talking about them go to such extremes," she told The Daily Mail, adding "if she does that in France, we will be waiting." Another National Front source told the Mail: "We are not a Nazi party, and object to being depicted as such." Do you think Madonna went too far?

    i read my damn history, and the insidious, inhuman, terroristic, murderous, genocidal crimes that the nazis and the japanese perpetrated all were done to indians and to black enslaved, FIRST, here in america. talk all the bovine excrement you want! those of your mindset were the example of how to utterly mistreat other human beings. there were others too. where do you think the u.s a (union of south africa) got their apartheid training? the cat has been out of the bag!

    Does anyone think Madonna is relevant beyond the titillation of entertainment? (Pun intended.)

    why don't you treat her the way you treated janet jackson when her breast came out? o, i forgot, she's a black woman; it's different.

    Funnily enough, it would probably make more impact as a political statement if someone less famous had done it.

    Desperate for attention for the most part defines her entire career.

    i saw part of the video that had "the swastika" you know, the symbol that was around WAY before hitler was ever even thought of........she had it in the same place as ol charlie manson from the 70s......"the broken cross" as some have called it......and i think it was on original, "YES YES boards.....or Oui- ja boards?

    She's always been controversial and stimulating. She makes us think, artistically. I'm not big on her music, but she has a career that pushes the envelope. The swastika was like 5 seconds of a 5 minute song. IN CONTEXT, it fit. Watch the video.

    Madonna is old but she's still a queen in music. She does what she does not to get attention but to make points. She has all the attention she could want or need. Nuff said.

    I think that the "right" started getting this fascist image when the Bush family pushed their way into the Republican party. I'm sure there is more details to that...
    There are some pretty misguided people out there. We always knew Madonna was one of them.

    Nearly everything this woman does is to gain attention. She is a fading light in a "sea of new candels" and she "fights against the dieing of the light". Maybe valient but also a little sad.

    Actually I think its both. Yes she's trying to ram her political views in another country but she's also desperate for attention.

    Come back and tell us when Madonna gets a swastika tattooed on her forehead like Charles Manson, then we will be more interested.

    Madonna has never been anything more than an attention-craving publicity whore, and that's putting it mildly.

    At this point after flashing people... Twice. She's trying desperately to stay in the spot light no matter how she gets it. Madonna is and will always be an icon in the music industry but it is my opinion that it's time for her to bow out before her image as what she's known as changes.
