    the reason i gave you a hard time about is that is simply isnt possible that this guy is a nazi sympathizer.

    seriously, why would anyone even bother being a nazi sympathizer?

    Of course it is possible. There are neo-nazis all over the world. Lots of them like to dress up in SS uniforms. Of course, it's just as likely that this guy is just a dweeb who like to dress up as a tough guy.

    Either way, he's a person I'd think twice about voting for. High potential for skeletons in the closet.

    well, the evidence does show that he wore a costume. pretty compelling. if he plays the indian in a cowboy/indian re-enactment i would assume he lives in a teepee and is married to a squaw.

    no. it is far, far more likely that the guy is just a war re-enacting dweeb.

    How quaint. Most would assume that he has no issues with Indians and thinks that they are cool.

    Exactly!!! And if there's enough TP winners, both the left, and the right will have get their attention before anything gets done in DC again. THIS IS GOOD!!!

    it's cool man, i actually quite enjoy reading your posts, the more i disagree the more i get to read. Anyway, i don't think he is a nazi sympathizer, i just think he opened himself up to some heavy criticism, and i also think that people should be more tolerant. It's well within his rights to dress up however he likes.

    i think we are way to eager to use race as a political hatchet. i like when people do what they want without fear of criticism. if a guy is in a dorky re-enactment crew and it is his turn to be the nazi, and he doesnt say "well, morons would get the wrong idea, cant do it, fellas", but instead just does it, then i respect him.

    as far as his comments, i dunno the context. one thing i do know for sure is there is nothing liberal white *******s and black and jewish victim-players like more than to take something innocuous and ride the racism angle as hard as possible. so i rarely believe it when people are accused of something racist.

    and of course i am racist myself. but not nazi racist, although to be fair jews are annoying, and are pretty cheap, like the stereotype.
