Searching on John Loftus brings up some weird stuff. I was pinged to "Leftist Writer Slanders Republican Party. Claims they Recruited Ex-Nazis in the 1980s (BARF ALERT!). ^" earlier today but the thread had been pulled . Taken from "Bartcop" was the reason for the deletion.

Sure sounds like a John Loftus production. He uses the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Florida as a launching pad for attacks on Republicans. Loftus travels the state scaring the elderly about conservatives being tied to Adolf Hitler.

Why didn't you call in?

It came out in 1988 that one of the Republican "ethnic outreach" coordinators had been a member of the Romanian Iron Guard--Anton Ionescu's version of the SS. The Iron Guard managed make the Waffen-SS look like models of humanity and compassion, and this guy was from the worst days of that bunch. IIRC, before he could be indicted (on immigration charges), the Berlin Wall came down, and he voluntarily returned to the old country and renounced his US citizenship.
