Tea Party Republican dresses up like Nazi Waffen SS!

If you Google “candidate wears Nazi uniform,” you would probably guess
it would be a Tea Party favorite, a Republican, and someone once called “a
rising star in the GOP.” If you did guess this, you would be right!

We refer, of course, to Rich Lott, the Republican nominee for a congressional seat
in Ohio, a Tea Party darling and a fellow who gets his jollies dressing up as a
Nazi SS officer! Where do they find these guys?

To be fair to Lott, he does not endorse the Waffen SS policies, he merely holds
profound admiration for their fighting abilities, and enjoys parading up imagined
battlefields, jackboot on foot, Republican policies in mind.

What did Sharron Angle mean when she talked about Second Amendment solutions and
“taking out” political opponents?

Does Rand Paul support the full Civil Rights Act, or parts of it, and does he believe
that racist policies of private-sector policies are legally allowed?

Can you believe the Republican Tea Party nominee for governor of New York virtually
started a fistfight with a reporter for the New York Post?

Remember that old song “It’s witchcraft”? Oh, let’s not go there today.

The Republican opponent of Rep. Chet Edwards (D-Texas) first proposed privatizing
veterans’ healthcare, a horrific idea whose time will never come. Now we learn Edwards’s
opponent once had a company that went bankrupt, and parlayed that into a nice federal
money windfall. Good thing Mr. Flores is against wasteful federal spending. Imagine
what he would do if he were for it!

I could go on, but it’s a busy day.

As for me, the Democrats I know would honor the United States Marines who took Iwo
Jima, and the 101st Airborne who led the liberation of Europe from the Nazis, while
the rising star of the Tea Party right dons his costume to express his admiration
for the Waffen SS.
