By comparing Breitbart with Nazi you're being incredibly disrespectful to the actual Nazi victims.

Their Shopify store includes a t-shirt with a fricken' parteiadler on it. I think the label is entirely justified.

Link? I found this [1], but the label suggests it's the US eagle instead...

I found this one, but basically the same:

The US eagle has its wings going up, not straight sideways. And the head is pointed to the eagle's right, not the left. (This is also the difference between the reichsadler, which is a more generic symbol of Germany, and the parteiadler, which is a Nazi symbol: the riechsadler's head points to the eagle's right, while the parteiadler's head points left.)

Just compare:

The one on the shirt is quite close to the second (minus the swastika) and quite distant from the first.
