An election year already notable for its menagerie of extreme and unusual candidates can add another one: Rich Iott, the Republican nominee for Congress from Ohio's 9th District, and a Tea Party favorite, who for years donned a German Waffen SS uniform and participated in Nazi re-enactments.

So "funny".. who in their right mind re-enacts such stuff unless you dont admire it? And if you admire it, then you have to be a neo-nazi in some way or another...
Oh a Tea-Party person also.. no wonder.
this guy:
Honestly on this, I'm kinda torn.
I really don't honestly know the guys motivations and if it were meant to glorify Nazi's, I'd be in total disagreement.
On the other hand, if he honestly meant for it to be historical reenactment, I don't see it as wrong.
We still have Confederate veterans day and reenactments here, although it isn't as important as regular veterans day.
TBH the Confederate veterans day and re enactments are tasteless too, but I guess it was needed to help integrate the defeated south... but like it or not, it is glorifying a state based on slavery.
But even comparing them to a group that started a war that killed 50 million people... come on. If this had been a Democrat or a muslim, then the right would be all over it screaming bloody anti-Semitism. I mean, look at what they are glorifying.. an SS unit.. not a normal German army unit, but an SS unit... the units behind the holocaust and some of the worst atrocities of the war.
Oh please, What about all the actors that played hitler in all the ww2 movies throughout time? Are they all glorifying hitler? Do they all love hitler? Granted, the hollywood acting crowd is ****ty, they're not "glorifying" anythingTBH the Confederate veterans day and re enactments are tasteless too, but I guess it was needed to help integrate the defeated south... but like it or not, it is glorifying a state based on slavery.

There's a lot more to people who still believe in the Confederation, than slavery.
In fact, most people here don't see it as the previous slave states, but more of a regional patriotism.
Yea that probably wasn't the smartest thing for them to reenact.
If it had been a regular, none kill squad, I could see it as ok.
From my point of view though, I don't care what religion or party a person is a member of, but how they conduct themselves.
Thinking on this one for a sec and it was really stupid of them to do this.

It's only reenactments, they're no different than movies, only done for entertainment. go find something else to criticise, like Rich Iotts stance on immigration.
Oh yeah, that's right, we don't focus on the issues/
I know.. it is called denial though.. the Japanese do the same thing with their past.
Would be only slightly better, but still in the WTF you thinking category.
Well this guy is a nazi... pure and simple.. he is glorifying the worst part of the Nazi regime.. there is no doubt what he is.

Never heard of role playing before?
Again, why comment on these areas when you know nothing about them???

Sure.. most roleplaying is based on a fantasy... aka something you admire... aspire too.. or get off on.....which one of these do you think applies to him?
The right was all over Prince Harry dressing up in a nazi uniform at a costume party, and suddenly when it is one of your own, then it does not matter or is okay?
Well seems the GOP leadership got some balls and have distanced themselves from this freak.
