The author, Ann Althouse, is a law professor who voted for Barack Obama.

Shouldn't we gather all the facts and ask questions- as she did- before jumping to conclusions...?

Who’s surprised? Democrats have done far worse to win elections.

Maybe he was dressed as a Nazi because Nazis had some good tailors and fashionable clothing.

That black uniform is pretty cool.

[Iott] added that he has participated in re-enactments as a Civil War Union infantryman, a World War I dough boy and World War II American infantryman and paratrooper.

Meanwhile we have so called conservatives right here at FR speaking out against his "nazi sympathies" despite the lack of any evidence aside from him dressed the part for a role he plays.

Also, supported Bush. I think he writes like a REAL Conservative nowadays. Her site is my daily visit favorite, several times.

Sad to say, most people in this country believe that a movie or TV program which claims to be “inspired by a true story” is hard fact. That’s how they “learn” their history.

she is a lifelong Democrat (indeed, a Jesse Jackson supporter in 1988), a Barrack Obama voter in 2008, and a moderate on most issues!!! She is more dangerous than a liberal!!!!

What we need to know, of course, is whether O’Donnel weighs more than a duck.

Sooo true. A ‘tard acquaintance was spouting off among a group of friend about how the evil Republicans had tried to prevent civil rights back in the 1960s.

I cut him off, bluntly. “Steve, you obviously don’t know anything about politics or history.”

It brought peels of laughter from the rest of the group. It’s become a tag line. I pointed out that it was the Southern Democrats who were the main forces opposing the civil rights act. And that making such an error was not a little oversite, it demonstrated a complete ignorance of one of the main threads of American history, going back to the civil war.

How could you have read even a little history and think it was the GOP that fought civil rights. While I’m not a big Beck fan, I will say he is doing a huge service to the country to teach history on TV every day.

The thing about ‘tards is that, well they are ‘tarded. And even after you point out facts to them they will either forget it after the next bonging binge, pretend it never happened, or move on to another subject.

Steve’s latest insight was that Islam is just another religion and Christianity is equally violent. Yes, there’s your public school educated for ya.

What happens most to me is they resort to ad hominum arguments.

I have a well educated lib friend that gets madder and madder when confronted with verifiable facts. Then he starts into the personal level insults of anyone remotely connected to the discussion at hand.

For example, how does one get from weapons of mass destruction to Laura Bush's car accident of her youth (someone died as I recall)? I've seen it done.

I just posted it for the points she was making (and not an endorsement of anything else).

From their website:

The KOS KIDS are busy.

“Disclaimer: This page or anyone involved in its creation, or members of reenactment groups listed here, are in no way affiliated with real, radical political organizations (i.e., KKK, Aryan Nation, American Nazi Party, etc.) and do not embrace the philosophies and actions of the original NSDAP (Nazi party), and wholeheartedly condemn the atrocities which made them infamous. May the victims of this unspeakable horror rest in peace. As we portray the German combat soldier, we are only interested in recreating his daily life, furthering our understanding of what it took to be a soldier, and at the same time having fun reliving history. We honor the men (and women) who really experienced the war, and we salute their courage and loyalty to put their lives on the line in defense of their native soil, no matter what nationality or government. “
