Republicans and Nazis

This man is running for Congress and he hangs out with Nazis:

Tony Zirkle, who is seeking the Republican nomination in northern Indiana's 2nd District, stood in front of a painting of Hitler, next to people wearing swastika armbands and with a swastika flag in the background for the speech to the American National Socialist Workers Party in Chicago on Sunday.

The event Zirkle attended was in celebration of Hitler's birthday. These people are real Nazis, losers who still believe in Hitler's ideology more than 60 years after Hitler got his ass kicked.

Of course this is no surprise coming from a Republican who is pro-segregation.

Republicans are not Nazis. But the ties between Republicans and white supremicists and their willingness to accept intolerance is disgusting to me. Also in Indiana, Republican Speaker of the Indiana House Brian Bosma told a group of Jews they didn't matter because only 2% of the population is Jewish. Ann Coulter has attacked Judaism and Islam. Racism is a frequently used and well-documented tactic by the Republican Party in electoral politics. A Republican in Montana has been openly racist towards a Native American politician. Right-wingers in Delaware have even carried out a genuine pogrom against a Jewish and a Muslim family. Prominent Republicans even blame Jewish conspiracies for their problems. Anti-Semitism, racism and intolerance are rampant in the Republican Party these days.

Unlike the Nazis, there is nothing inherantly racist or anti-Semitic in the Republican ideology. But the right-wing fanatics that have taken over the Republican Party under Bush are racist, anti-Semitic and intolerant. The more open acceptance of Nazism by Republicans like David Duke and Tony Zirkle is only the tip of the iceburg.

For those who want to reject Republican racism in Indiana, Joe Donnelly is the Democratic Congressman Tony Zirkle wants to go up against. Show him your support against right wing Republican fanatics by donating or, if you live there, volunteering for Donnelly. And write letters to the editor expressing your disgust with Tony Zirkle, Brian Bosma and Republican intolerance.

OMFG! That man is INSANE

Submitted by liza on 1 May 2008 - 10:10am.

I read about him over at Metafilter. He's like ... WOW!

I mean, he was at a birthday party for Hitler! Can you imagine a yellow cake with buttercream frosting and the words written in chocolate syrup, "Happy Birthday Adolf!" Then imagine him eating the fuhrer's mustache?

I mean ... and what's with his obsession with pornography, pedophilia and women who use dildos? He's like a walking LOLNazi meme.

Words to live by

hmmm. i received this email from NARAL today. i'm not sure i like it much. there's just enough ignorance in it to piss me off. i mean, what century are we in that "latinos" and black women are the *only* women of color? what happened to asian, arabs and native women? and the three "pillars" that are being organized around, community control, holistic health, and positive motherhood, sound like they have been re-written by some over anxious white dude who doesn't want to piss off the white women who support NARAL (established women of color org's *do* organize around these things, it just sounds like the fierce women of color language has been co-opted). and the email title is as follows: " It's time to Recognize! the reproductive health needs of women of color". ummm, is it really time? forty years after women of color started organizing on their own because white women couldn't bear to make us a part of the movement, it is *finally* time?
grrr.
