ah boy... rich iott is running for congress in northern ohio. he is a republican. and he's enthusiastically supported by the tea party. and, well, he likes to dress up like a nazi. yup. when asked about nazi germany
he said: 'they accomplished incredible things' and 'gave their lives for their loved ones and a basic desire to be free'.
from the atlantic monthly:
'When asked whether his participation in a Nazi re-enactor's group might not upset voters, particularly Jewish voters, Iott said he hoped it would not: "They have to take it in context."
i guess the simple, practical, question is: do we really want or need elected federal officials who dress up like nazi's for fun in their spare time? here are some pictures of him and his friends.
