Madonna Uses Swastika in Concert: Political Statement, or Desperate for Attention?

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?

    She's lived so much of her life in the spotlight it has become an addiction. She craves the attention like a drug and seems willing to go to any lengths to get it. Sad, really.

    She was warned of the consequences and did it anyway. She deserves whatever comes her way. Madonna is out of date and it is stupid that she continues to vye for everyone's attention.

    I don't disagree with the use of the Swastika, many people don't understand it's meaning and why Hitler used it. She should try explaining herself better than that though.

    the swastika is actually a holy symbol before Hitler took it and changed it's meaning...

    The swastika your talking about goes clockwise. The one in the photo above is the Nazi symbol.

    i know which one i am talking about. the holy symbol existed long before the nazis took it, tweaked it, and used it...

    I love Madonna. She is too good for most people and her brain is so far ahead of them.
    If they dont like her, fook them, let them watch dancing with the stars.

    I would say that if you are in the USA, you are most likely a Saudi Jet pilot. They paid for training when they bought that multi-Billion arms deal from the idiots in the Bush regime.

    Okay, sonny, listen up.

    First of all, you need to learn to recognize sarcasm.
    No, I'm not a Chinese jet pilot, just as Madonna is NOT "...too good for most people and her brain is so far ahead of them." What are you... obsessed??
    Madonna is an arrogant, left-wing loon in the worst sense of the word. How many "stars" actually go to a foreign country, and get a court order to forcibly TAKE another's child? She wasn't a good mother to her own kids, what makes her think she could raise someone else's?
    Secondly, if you're going to kiss that much Madonna ass, you may want to invest in stock in ChapStick, okay?
    And, third, resorting to Bush-bashing in a topic that has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with him shows just how much of an immature, liberal-leaning, ignorant fool you really are. You can't handle the truth, so you blame Bush.
    When are you liberals going to grow up?

    liberal argument playbook

    (ps...I'm waiting for you to call me a racist, so I can prove my point. Or are you going to skip that part, and just run away?)

    Fine, you arrogant pricktard. I did see you live in Aridzona and your Chinese jet pilot BS is NOT sarcasm, its just plain stupid from an idiot who has obviously spent too much time in the hot sun.

    I happen to like Madonna a lot, I love her activism and her music and the whole package.
    First, Bush tries to blame Saudis for the attacks of 9-11 when I know for sure it was an inside job. Anyone with a hot brain cell should know that. I have no idea what racism has to do with this. What the hell are you talking about? Grow up?
    Good idea, follow your own advice: go to third grade and graduate to fourth.

    You have proven, without a shadow of a doubt, that you are a small-minded fool, who is willing to believe ANYTHING that will place blame where it doesn't belong. And, I have no time for pathetic, self-involved individuals, such as yourself.

    She's also a moron. Hitler's NAZI movement was far left fascist, not right wing. The current lefties scream that the right wing id fascist, but those who actually study history will tell you differently. Obama's movement is the very definition of fascism.

    The Swastika is actually a Jain symbol for the four forms of life (i.e. Life in a Human, Animal, in Hell, and in Heaven). But, it is widely known as the Nazi symbol.... Anyway Madonna's time is up and yeah, she was desperate for attention.

    She was raised Catholic but has practiced Kabbalah (a mystical Jewish belief system, not the Torah-based Judaism).

    As a celebrity, most of them only want attention.

    Why is the swastika automatically Nazi? The swastika has a long history going back to ancient egypt and has been used by dozens of societies since then. Its origins trace to Sun symbology.

    Madonna has been pleading for attention since she was a little girl: and she has been doing a fine job. I liked her better in the 80's.

    Madonna is making me sick, she needs to grow up and quit trying to be a Diva, which she is not. She was a ok singer but her attention getting ways are getting the best of her. So either sing or Please shut up! madonna
