Candidate (R-Of Course) speaks at Hitler birthday party
and it's in Indiana, no less. One would expect both of our Dem candidates to lower the boom on this creep while they're campaigning there.

Tony Zirkle, who is seeking the Republican nomination in Indiana's 2nd District, stood in front of a painting of Hitler, next to people wearing swastika armbands and with a swastika flag in the background for the speech to the American National Socialist Workers Party in Chicago on Sunday....

Zirkle compared his speech to other politicians appearing at Bob Jones University....

The event was not the first time Zirkle has raised controversy on race issues. In March, Zirkle raised the idea of segregating races in separate states. Zirkle said Tuesday he's not advocating segregation, but said desegregation has been a failure.

Zirkle received 30 percent of the vote in the 2006 primary, losing to incumbent Chris Chocola, who was defeated in the general election. Zirkle said Tuesday that winning the election is not his primary goal.

30 percent of the repuke primary vote? To a Nazi? :scared: The seat is presently held by Dem Joe Donnelly. For the love of all that is good, let's keep it that way!
