Rich Iott, the Tea Party-supported GOP nominee for Congress in Ohio's 9th District, is part of a group that likes to don German Waffen SS uniforms and participate Nazi re-enactments, Atlantic journalist Josh Green revealed on Real Time with Bill Maher.

First, CBS is a pretty serious source to botch the diting in the very first line ("and participate Nazi" should be "and participate in Nazi").

Second, these are likely not "Nazi re-enactments." They are usually WWII battle re-enactments. Or did the movie "Nixon" feature a "McGovern Re-enactment?"

Curious why “Lott” is not capitalized throughout the article (in the original also). Looks like they made a botched cut and paste.

WWII Germany, like it or not, was in the total control of the Nazi party. Anyone with any knowledge at all of the era associates the German army of that time with the Nazis....and in politics, perception is everything.

To have even a HINT or a POSSIBILITY of a hint of sympathies with Germany of 65 to 78 years ago is just unacceptable politically...as not only were these are mortal enemy at the time...but they were merciless butchers of civilians—quite unlike the Confederate States of America—or any other group in reenactments.

To parse whether he was just re-enacting the German army, (which did have some noble folks in it, like Rommel, or Beck) instead of the Nazi Party perverts, is immaterial in the political realm.

Anyone who wouldn’t know that putting on a Nazi-era German uniform wouldn’t be problematic for a political career....lacks the judgement to be elected to any office.
