So? Are you now pushing Journ0list propaganda? He also dressed up as an American WWI and WWII soldier.
We have a civil war muster every year. A lot of the regular actors have both Union and Confederate uniforms in case one side needs to be filled out.
I used to work with a guy who dressed up for renaissance fairs and Scottish Highland games, Viking reenactments etc. I helped him make chain mail during down time at the shop. He made the local news when he was arrested with a broadsword in his back seat.
I would surely vote for him because crap like cap and trade and the health care bill are more offensive to me than WW2 reenactments, but we still need to know what stories are out there and not bury our heads in the sand.
Ya just can't dress up as a Waffen SS soldier and expect to win elections. However unfair it may be, however innocent his reenactments may have been, you still can't dress up like a Nazi (and be photographed in the uniform) and expect to win elections. Oh, yeah, with the exception of playing a part in The Sound of Music.
Looks like the apologists have given the democrats the opening they were seeking and the witch hunt has begun.
Former Liberty Township (mi) official dressed as a nazi in the same photo. (fortunately the writer is a little more fair with his assessment)
