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.

Wow! Not only did we have Jonathan Pollard spying on us (a man Loftus wants out of prison) but we had a member of Romanian Iron Guard in the GOP. Don't recall his name,do you? Maybe Loftus is right. We should all vote Democrat.

Florian Galdau, director of GOP outreach efforts among Romanians, and head of "Romanians for Bush." Galdau was once an Iron Guard recruiter, and he defended convicted Nazi war criminal Valerian Trifa.
