A congressional candidate is defending his speech to a group celebrating the anniversary of Adolf Hitler's birth, saying he appeared simply because he was asked.

Oh wow :rotfl:

Priceless. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Something tells me that this guy will remain nothing more than a Republican candidate and get elected by nobody.

The guy says, ""My primary purpose is to educate and inform". I think that it is he who requires education.

Another contender for the Darwin awards.

The sad truth is anyone can call themselves a Republican, or a Democrat, and neither party can do anything to stop them.

Yeah, it's one of the problems with such a system. Same as how anyone can declare support for a candidate and you can't stop them.

I doubt this story would be any different were it a Democrat. "Jackass" fills all necessary boxes :P

But let's face it, he's less likely to be a democrat in this specific situation

You asked, "How is Bush any different then Hitler?"

A: Hitler was a good public speaker.

Hitler was supposedly a damn near hypnotic speaker,at least in his early days as a politician. Without Hitler the Nazi party would have just been a footnote in history.
