No one's responded to me about why NPOV shouldn't be followed in adding to
the caption the quote from the image's source (Zombie of Zombietime.com)
"Zombie of Zombietime.com describes this poster as, "the most anti-Semitic
sign ever seen at any protest rally in the United States." I've just been
presented with straw man arguments. I've got no problem with the image but
what I do have a problem with is when an image is presented outside of
neutral point of view.
