THE MODERN GOPer: (AND WE'RE NOT INVOKING GODWIN'S LAW!)

FROM TALKING POINTS MEMO:

Nazi-Reenacting GOPer:



"Who Are We To Judge the Nazi SS?"

"Ohio Congressional candidate Rich Iott got grilled by Anderson Cooper last night on his rather unusual hobby of dressing up as a member of the 5th SS Wiking Panzer Division, a unit in the German army during World War II.

Iott also contended that 'this particular unit was one that was never charged with war crimes,' though Cooper pointed out that one member was recently charged with the murder of 58 Jews. Iott replied: 'The war on the eastern front was extremely brutal on both sides. Nobody was lily-white, that's for sure. Horrible things that happened on both sides.'

 
Cooper also asked about the reenators' website, which he said describes members of the Wiking unit as 'valiant men.' He asked Iott if he believed these were 'valiant men.'

'I think that they thought they were fighting for their homeland,' Iott said. When pressed further, he replied: 'I don't think we can sit here and judge that today. We weren't there the time they made those decisions.'"

Iott defended the members of the unit, who he said 'wanted to fight what they saw as a bigger threat to them than Germany,' so they joined up with the Nazis to fight the eastern front of the war against Soviet forces. 'I don't think we can sit here and judge that today. We weren't there the time they made those decisions,' he said."

These are the sort of people who are attracted to the GOP.

Here's another Tea Party hero--the kind of person that appeals to bigots:


Tea Party hero Carl Paladino rages against 'disgusting' gay pride parades

"Buffalo bomb-thrower Carl Paladino branded gay pride parades 'disgusting' on Monday - and took a shot at rival Andrew Cuomo for bringing his daughters to one.



The Tea Party blowhard insisted he has nothing against homosexuals, he just doesn't want himself or children exposed to their culture.

He said he was appalled by having seen Toronto gay pride parade marchers wearing "little Speedos and they grind against each other."

'I think it's disgusting,' he told NBC's "Today" show.

He hammered Cuomo for bringing his teenage daughters to a gay pride parade earlier this year.

'Is that normal?' he asked on ABC's "Good Morning America." 'I don't think it's proper for them to go there.'"
 

Homophobic GOP candidate for New York governor, Carl Paladino, denigrates and demeans our gay brothers and sisters. He is truly a digusting individual not worthy to be dog catcher, let alone the governor of New York."

Here is more on the asshat Paladino.

And again, yet another GOPer who has dreams of becoming a United States Senator, her stupidity, as evidenced in these quotes, knows no bounds.  It's difficult to keep up with all the idiotic things she's said:

''What's next? Orgy rooms? Menage a trois rooms? ... [Coedness] is like a radical agenda forced on college students.''  —Christine O'Donnell, in a 2003 Washington Times article about the scourge of coedization in colleges
In 1997, O'Donnell took to C-SPAN to complain that the government was spending too much money combating AIDS. She voiced concerns that a drag queen ball "celebrates the type of lifestyle which leads to the disease." She also objected to calling those with AIDS "victims" and said the disease was a consequence of a certain "lifestyle."--Source: Christine O'Donnell: AIDS Gets Too Much Gov't Money, Condoms Wouldn't Stop I


"The Bible says that lust in your heart is committing adultery. So you can't masturbate without lust." -- 1996, MTV’s "Sex in the 90s"

“Well, creationism, in essence, is believing that the world began as the Bible in Genesis says, that God created the Earth in six days, six 24-hour periods. And there is just as much, if not more, evidence supporting that.” -- March 30, 1996, CNN


“Well, as the senator from Tennessee mentioned, evolution is a theory and it's exactly that. There is not enough evidence, consistent evidence to make it as fact, and I say that because for theory to become a fact, it needs to consistently have the same results after it goes through a series of tests. The tests that they put—that they use to support evolution do not have consistent results. Now too many people are blindly accepting evolution as fact. But when you get down to the hard evidence, it's merely a theory. But creation … ” -- March 30, 1996, CNN

There you have it.  The GOP's shining stars:


A Nazi admirerer
A homophobic neaderthal
An Evolution denier, someone who blames AIDS victims for being sick, and an anti-masturbationist.


Apparently the Tea Baggers believe these are the issues that are foremost in the minds of Americans who are jobless, homeless, and sick.


The GOP:  VOTE FOR THEM AND OWN TEH STOOPID.
