Don't believe me. Ask this guy who made a living posing as an ashamed Republican. The media couldn't stop falling for his shtick...
Update: First, I was wrong, the sign in question is in the batch of 133, it's easy to overlook, but visible here.

Second, our lefty friends want to claim that this is somehow proof that I had it all wrong. I didn't have anything wrong. At the time of Pelosi's statement that picture was unknown to everyone, me, the Huffington Post, everyone at Daily Kos, and even to Pelosi herself. It was only revealed after I proved that Pelosi's information wasn't coming from it's natural sources, the netroots and all its denisons. The sign itself (lame as it may be) generated zero notice, and wasn't noted in press accounts or netroot accounts.

More importantly the photo in question wasn't from a townhall meeting, it was from a street demonstration - there was no townhall meeting that day. In that regard it rates a FAIL as proof that Pelosi was right.

At the time of her proclaimation there was no proof of her assertion, and one picture (unknown to all) that existed before her statement, but didn’t fall within the parameters of her assertion isn’t proof of anything.

As James Taranto at The Wall Street Journal notes:

So was Nancy Pelosi right? Not a chance.Let’s review her words again: “I think they’re AstroTurf. You be the judge. They’re carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on health care.” Who carries swastikas? Nazis. Pelosi did not complain that the protesters were comparing ObamaCare to Nazism; she insinuated that they are Nazis.

Again there’s plenty of examples of swastikas from previous tea party protest...
