In April, Congressional candidate Tony Zirkle (Indiana) agreed to speak at a gathering of the American National Socialist Workers' Party. His platform consists mainly of opposing pornography and prostitution. He's also in favor of bringing back the guillotine. The gathering was a birthday party for Adolf Hitler.
Zirkle claims that he didn't know that the group was pro-Nazi because they were called National Socialists, not Nazis. This despite the giant portrait of Hitler, everyone at the head table wearing swastikas and the Happy Birthday Hitler banner. The Indiana Republican party is distancing itself from Mr. Zirkle.

Julia -- I hate to say that some people are too stupid to be elected but then I think of the current president.
Eclectchick -- I've lately been in love with the word "git." I use it every chance I get!
I blogged about this when I traveled to Indiana. I was first!
Rig -- I heard about it on Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me so I can't boast much. As much as this is horrible, it gives one Schadenfreude to see this train wreck of a candidate!
The guys from Indiana said this candidate was not the GOP choice. He's just a crack pot running for office.
I can think of a lot of snarky things to say but for once I'll take the high road. :)
