Hard to believe that a story like this would surface in the year 2008, but here it is: Candidate speaks at Hitler birthday party. Come on. COME ON! You mean to tell me that the guy running for this Congressional seat – a guy named Tony Zirkle – walked into that room and thought, “Hey, this is a great idea!”??? I almost can’t believe it.
If you haven’t, please click on that link above and take a look at this ridiculous picture of this moron candidate standing in front of a picture of Adolf Hitler and huge swastika flags. I’m almost at a loss for words on this one. I just can’t believe this guy – who is (was) a legitimate candidate for this Congressional seat – walked into that room and told himself that it was completely okay to stand in front of that gathering, in front of Hitler, and talk about Jesus Christ. Believe me, my religion is all about evangelizing and spreading the good Word, but come on! If you’re running for office you CANNOT stand in front of Hitler in a room draped in Nazi regalia!
Where is the judgment these days? How is the public supposed to trust their political candidates when they make such stupid decisions? Again, I can sympathize with wanting to spread the good Word to even the most jaded constituencies, but this was not a bright move. In fact, it’s downright insulting. Had the candidate agreed to speak in a different room or in a manner such that he didn’t look like he was endorsing the neo-Nazis, I may have a different take on all of this. But what they say is true – a picture is worth a thousand words and the picture in that article speaks for itself.
Idiot.
Wow!? Oh he’s a republican, explains it.
Too bad he’s not a Democrat – then he could be a Klansman and run for Senator instead of being a Congressman!
Really, though, where is the common sense in today’s politicians?
There is none Joe. Both parties arein the toilet.
