Comment: GOP Congressional candidate Rich Iott of Ohio has been flying colors that demonstrate the true nature of the Republican party. A favorite of the Tea Parties, Iott for years participated in “reenactments” of battles of the Fifth Waffen SS division (Viking). (Iott is second from right in this photo.)
As noted in numerous broadcasts, the GOP [1] is little more than a front [2] for a Third Reich gone underground. [3]
“Why Is this GOP House Candidate Dressed as a Nazi?” by Joshua Green; The Atlantic; 10/08/2010.
Excerpt: An election year already notable for its menagerie of extreme and unusual candidates can add another one: Rich Iott, the Republican nominee for Congress from Ohio’s 9th District, and a Tea Party favorite, who for years donned a German Waffen SS uniform and participated in Nazi re-enactments.
Iott, whose district lies in Northwest Ohio, was involved with a group that calls itself Wiking, whose members are devoted to re-enacting the exploits of an actual Nazi division, the 5th SS Panzer Division Wiking, which fought mainly on the Eastern Front during World War II. Iott’s participation in the Wiking group is not mentioned on his campaign’s website, and his name and photographs were removed from the Wiking website.When contacted by The Atlantic, Iott confirmed his involvement with the group over a number of years, but said his interest in Nazi Germany was historical and he does not subscribe to the tenets of Nazism. . . .
