There Are NO Good Reasons to Attend a Nazi Gathering. None. Period.
What would you say if I told you an Indiana lawyer who is currently running for Congress on the Republican ticket gave a speech Sunday at a Nazi gathering in celebration of Hitler’s birthday on the topic of the subjugation of white women at the hands of Jews in the porn industry?
Would you balk? Would you roll your eyes and think I’d finally lost my left-wing marbles?
Regardless of your answer, it would behoove you to have a look for yourself. Here’s another source. And another.
Yes, Tony Zirkle is a name you’re going to hear a lot of in coming weeks (though you may already know him as the guy who wants to bring back segregation of blacks). You’re going to hear all about how he spoke at such a gathering only because he wants to speak to any who will listen. You’re going to hear right-wingers defend him as someone who is willing to break the barriers of hate to get his message out. You’re going to be expected to believe that just because he shredded a rare copy of Playboy (for which he paid a reported $1200) he’s somehow an authority on the porn industry and human sexuality in general.
But mainly, you’re going to have to ask yourself if anything good can come from a man who would happily give an anti-Semitic speech to a bunch of Nazis at a birthday party for Hitler. I mean, I have a lot of things I want to say to the world – good, productive things – but I have absolutely no desire to say anything to Nazi shitheads.
There was a time when an American politician having any association whatsoever with Nazism would have deftly ended that politician’s career. It would seem that ever since we learned of the Bush family’s connection to that selfsame fascist organization, it’s become all the rage to buddy up to them. Lovely.
But do continue to be suspicious of anyone wearing a turban. You never know when a humble Sikh is going to smile at you too widely!

WTF. No. Really. What.The.Fuck.
I have no words for this. I can't even believe. Because I don't want to, not because I don't think it happened.
As for the turbans, right after 9-11 a 'patriotic' freak shot and killed a local business owner out in front of his convenience store. Why? Because he was wearing a turban. Yep, business owner was a Sikh, a kind man well-loved in his neighborhood community.
I feel the need to mention that I had a very difficult time uploading that photo to my VOX. It's just so sick. But I felt that the post might not get the same viewings if I didn't put enough Shock Value into it. I wanted a more shocking title, too, but didn't want to spend any more time trying to get clever with the word "Nazi".
USA Today reports that "Zirkle received 30% of the primary vote in 2006, according to the Secretary of State." Almost 1/3 of the vote! I can't wait to hear the right-wing apologies for this one. Should be entertaining.
Damn! I'm gonna kill my high school guidance counselor. How come those Jews get all the good jobs like subjugating white women in the porn industry? Crap.
(just kidding, really! LOL)
I believe it. Completely. No matter how devoutly we try to mop up, it will not clean up all of society's slimy corners and rancid stenches. People will always spout, and fools will always listen.
I know that there is free speech, and that it's a gift to all of us; but if I had the power, I wouldn't think twice about shutting those goofballs down.
I'm sorry but that's just hilarious to me in some way. Oh lord.
I think he was just sad that he didn't have a Wikipedia page yet, and thought "This'll make them notice me!" Or maybe he's addicted to frosting?
on the bright side - the very same right that gives them the ability to do stuff like this, give us the right to very publicly call them "shitheads"
I believe in free speech and parents rights, but sometimes when i read about kids like that I have to wonder if we are carrying this free speech just a little to far at least when it comes to kids. Its bad enough when its adults but there is just something that turns your stomach and makes you feel sick when you see or hear a kid saying those same things.
