Madison Cawthorn, a Trump-loving candidate for Congress in North Carolina’s 11th District, has deleted vacation photos he posted on Instagram that he took while visiting German dictator Adolf Hitler’s favorite retreat.
.................................

As The Forward reports, Cawthorn described the Eagle’s Nest as “the vacation house of the Fuhrer,” which was the honorific title given to Hitler by the Nazis. He also described seeing Hitler’s vacation retreat as being on his “bucket list.”

.................

......................

The Forward notes that the deleted photos are not the only evidence of Cawthorn’s potential far-right sympathies, as he “also named his real estate company SPQR, a term popular among white nationalists, and displays in his home an early American flag that the Anti-Defamation League says has been appropriated by far-right extremists.”

Ret. Col. Morris Davis, who is Cawthorn’s Democratic opponent in the NC-11 race, wrote on Twitter Monday that “Hitler’s vacation retreat is not on my bucket list.”........................................

It would not be on my bucket list either!!

[Evolve Dammit]

1. Seeing scum like this purged from the earth is on my "bucket list."

[TygrBright]

2. Definitely a candidate for Obersturmbannfuhrer! n/t

[not fooled]

3. Check out his photo

at the tweet. Definitely out of Central Casting for "American Neo Nazi."

35. Looked for more photos of this guy, having never heard of him:

Madison Cawthorn









From a quick search:

Cawthorn, who would reach the constitutionally-mandated age of 25 to serve in the House in August, was paralyzed from the abdomen down after a 2014 car accident. He’ll face Democrat Moe Davis, a former military prosecutor, and other party nominees in November. The district is still considered Republican-leaning despite recent boundary changes following litigation.

He's still a creep, injured or not.

[marble falls]

4. He's just interested in the historical significance, nicht wahr?

[NonPC]

5. He's Got That Look

He's got that Ayerian look to him -- someone could photoshop a Nazi SS uniform on him and he'd look totally at home in it.

[AZ8theist]

17. Exactly.

So why bother deleting the tweet? I mean, if it's on your bucket list, you should be proud to check that one off, no?
He should be proud of his Nazi leanings and beliefs....especially being a Doturd boot licker. Win a congressional seat so you can inflict more pain on the sub humans in AmeriKKKa.

Or, maybe he just realized that he's a fucking moron?

6. true to form for a

trumper chump

[MosheFeingold]

22. I think Trump knows

Trump endorsed the other Republican.

[George II]

7. Don't forget, trump's grandfather was born in Bavaria and was deported to the US because he dodged..

....his mandatory military service.

But for the cowardice of the trump line of men the orange one would be Germany's problem, not ours.

[AZ8theist]

18. Friedrich Drumpf.....

Doturds grandfather died at age 49 in the 1918 Influenza Pandemic.

Like grandfather, like grandson?

One can only hope.......

[George II]

21. But he said a number of times it was the 1917 "plague".

[Captain Zero]

25. Either way it brought a swift end to WW2

20 years before WW2 even started. So all in all...

[Ingersollman]

8. Could

he look any more like a Nazi?

[LymphocyteLover]

11. my thought exactly

[MosheFeingold]

23. Met plenty of Nazis

The poster boys looked like this.

The actual Nazis looked more like guys that screw you around at the DMV, just because they can. Just big nobodies.

[paleotn]

29. Doubtful.

Looks like he just walked out of a Hitler youth rally. What a creep.

[Fritz Walter]

9. I don't suppose -- by any chance -- any of these sites were on his "bucket list"

Auschwitz
Bergen Belson
Dachau
The Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, or even the
Danish Jewish Museum in Copenhagen (quite an interesting story behind this one; and, yes, I've been there).


No, of course they're not!

Nor would he likely be a very welcome visitor. Posing for selfies under the "Arbeit Macht Frei" sign at the camp entrance. Clowning around in the "showers" or by the ovens.

Maybe his next trip should be to Berlin, near where the bunker was. He could follow his idol's own Final Solution.

16. Don't forget the house of Corrie Ten Boom. I think it's in the Hague. n/t

10. SPQR. In case anyone was wondering...

SPQR and White Nationalism

Senatus Populusque Romanus, “The Senate and People of Rome,” was a phrase used to describe the Roman state in Republican and Imperial times. It was and is often abbreviated as S.P.Q.R. Both the phrase itself and the abbreviation have remained in frequent use as a symbol of the city of Rome. It is also a favorite abbreviation of white nationalists, as the following examples demonstrate.

[Update: Scholars Respond to appropriations of SPQR by hate groups]
[Update: Prof. Sarah Bond has written an excellent article on SPQR that expands on many of the points we make in our follow-up to this documentation]

The use of the abbreviation by hate groups first came to Pharos’ attention when a group of Ohio University students attracted protests for flying an SPQR flag. The protestors said “someone at [the house] might be a Nazi” because the SPLC had reported that SPQR flags were flown at the Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally of white supremacists and other nationalist groups. The students defended the flag as being simply a “Roman legion flag” and a “party flag.”

39. Stealing perfectly good Latin words. It's a shame.

The bundle of sticks used to represent the nation-states in the Roman Empire is called a fasces. From whence comes the word "fascist". They are in the Congressional chambers, but I don't know which one.

[IronLionZion]

12. We did Nazi that coming

[klook]

37. Heils of derisive laughter!

(to paraphrase Monty Python)

[grantcart]

13. Der Fuhrer won't like any deletions.

[bucolic_frolic]

14. Did you ever think after the trauma of World War II

that Hitler would be making a comeback amongst some right wing Republicans?

[Hekate]

31. They never went away. I was very young in the 1950s & remember asking my parents ...

...about the group headed by George Lincoln Rockwell in the US, as something about him was in the newspaper. I was shocked that there could be such a group after WWII and the Holocaust.

The thing is, they were for most of my life a small fringe group that nobody with any pretensions to decency would associate with.

However judging by what’s happened since Trump came out of his golden tower, they were growing all along underneath their rocks and bridges, and here they are today — out and proud, some of them dripping in slime and some of them all scrubbed up and shiny.

[Ilsa]

15. It's on my bucket list

to watch burn down.

[Javaman]

19. another very punchable face. nt

[James48]

20. Now just a minute-

I served in the Army in Germany for 4 years, and I too have been to The Eagles Nest- it is known as a tourist spot, as were the three former Nazi headquarter buildings in town, captured and made into US Army vacation destinations.

And I am progressive. And a world traveler now. And I understand the horror Hitler created.

I won’t jump so fast to link a visit to the Eagles Nest as a tourist, to being a Nazi. It’s bad enough he’s a Republican. Linking to Nazism needs to be reserved for actual Nazis.

[keithbvadu2]

27. He made the connection for himself.

"I won’t jump so fast to link a visit to the Eagles Nest as a tourist, to being a Nazi."

He made the connection for himself.

[Tommymac]

28. Hate to say thid but through their silence Republicans SUPPORT NAZIS.

Call a White Supremacist by any other name and it is still a White Supremacist.

REPUBLICANS SUPPORT NAZIS.

REPUBLICANS SUPPORT NAZIS.

REPUBLICANS SUPPORT NAZIS.

REPUBLICANS SUPPORT NAZIS.

REPUBLICANS SUPPORT NAZIS.

REPUBLICANS SUPPORT NAZIS.

REPUBLICANS SUPPORT NAZIS.

REPUBLICANS SUPPORT NAZIS.

[paleotn]

32. I hear you, but what matters is context.....

His own words....

Cawthorn described the Eagle’s Nest as “the vacation house of the Fuhrer,”

The Fuhrer? Haven't heard him called that in a while.

added he was happy to visit a place where Hitler “shared laughs and good times with his compatriots.”

Compatriots? Only some of the most evil bastards ever to draw breath.

The Forward notes that the deleted photos are not the only evidence of Cawthorn’s potential far-right sympathies, as he “also named his real estate company SPQR, a term popular among white nationalists, and displays in his home an early American flag that the Anti-Defamation League says has been appropriated by far-right extremists.”

Nazi boy isn't fooling anyone.

[muriel_volestrangler]

24. Maybe most deserving headline for "Not The Onion" footnote ever (nt)

[yellowcanine]

26. The "vacation house of the Fuhrer" was on his bucket list? How Joseph Goebbels of him!

[aggiesal]

30. In his Twitter picture, he looks like a Brown Shirt. n/t

[Claire Oh Nette]

33. Um, just...No

Let's see...
a mere 25.
Not accepted at Naval Academy, despite Meadows recomendation.
Dropped out of college after *one whole semester* because he was "heartbroken."
And because he was sporting a D average.

A "real Estate Investor" with one whole purchase, for $20K at auction.

Maybe, just maybe, we ought require a little more than one semester of college, because a high school understanding of the constitution and the role of legislator isn't really good enough, especially in The Trump Depression and the Trump Pandemic.

Pretty boy. Empty Shell.

Moe Davis for NC 11

36. He has a wonderful Wiki.! He's a person of character, so rare these days.

Morris D. Davis (born July 31, 1958) is an American retired U.S. Air Force colonel, attorney, educator, political candidate, and former administrative law judge. Davis was appointed the third Chief Prosecutor of the Guantanamo military commissions, where he served from September 2005 until October 2007.[1] He resigned from the position after he refused to use evidence obtained through torture and because of political influence and pressure in prosecutions. He retired from active duty in October 2008.

In 2019, he officially announced his candidacy to replace U.S. Congressman Mark Meadows, in the United States House of Representatives after Meadows resigned to serve as White House Chief of Staff.[2] On March 3, 2020, Davis won the Democratic primary for North Carolina's 11th congressional district with 52,665 votes.[3][4]

Early life and education
Davis was born and raised in Shelby, NC, the son of a 100% service-disabled World War II veteran. He studied Criminal Justice at Appalachian State in the nearby town of Boone, North Carolina, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in 1980. He received a Juris Doctor from North Carolina Central University in 1983 and joined the Air Force as a JAG officer in the same year, following the death of his father.[5] In 1992, he earned Master of Laws degrees in military law (with a concentration in government procurement law) from The Judge Advocate General's Legal Center and School in Charlottesville, Virginia, and in government procurement law from The National Law Center at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.[6]

Career
Unlike his predecessors at Guantanamo, Fred Borch and Robert L. Swann, Davis has been a visible public figure.[1][7][8][9][10] His statements have triggered controversy.[11][12]

Khadr's attorney, Muneer Ahmad of American University, accused Colonel Davis of ethical misconduct for referring to Khadr as a "terrorist" and a "murderer" during the January 10, 2006, press conference. Ahmad asked the Presiding Officer to sanction Colonel Davis for the comments, but the presiding officer found the comments were fair and balanced, given the repeated negative out of court statements Ahmad had made for months prior to the hearing. When asked why the prosecution had finally broken its silence, Davis said:[13]

For a number of months we've sat on the sidelines. We've just kind of taken it. There comes a time when you don't take it anymore.

Hadn't heard of him until seeing this thread. He sounds like a strong, conscientious person, who's prepared to fight for his beliefs.

Great seeing your post.

38. Moe Davis!

Wow. Thanks for the link and the background.
Need more men like this (women, too) and fewer empty suits with pretty faces hiding their -isms.

Wish I saw signs for Moe around. The giant billboard on I-26 east in Hendersonville makes me throw up in my mouth a little every time I drive past.

34. There's something familiar about that smile.
