WW2 reenacting is a hobby enjoyed by over 10,000 people in this country. Reenactors portray Military and civilians from every country both Allied and Axis. Special care is taken to maintain a politically neutral position and any that do not are expelled. Many Movies produced today use reenactors as cast members includeing Band of Brothers, Letters from Iwo Jima, Currently filming here in Minnesota is a production called "souviners" History channel routinly uses reenactors in it's productions Often Schools will have reenactors come in to display explain the particular aspect of history etc.

To repeat - Maybe he sees things more objectively than some post-ers here on CD.
Objective: not influenced by personal feelings, interpretations, or prejudice; based on facts; unbiased.
He is "fascinated" that a small country did "incredible things". Seriously, this is "objective" to you?

Did you bother to read the large disclaimer on the website? Or would that be inconvenient to your cause.

"This page or anyone involved in it's creation, or members of reenactment groups listed here, are in no way affiliated with real, radical political organizations (i.e., KKK, Aryan Nation, American Nazi Party, etc.) and
do not embrace the philosophies and actions of the original NSDAP (Nazi Party), WHOLEHEARTEDLY CONDEMN the atrocities which made them infamous. May the victims of this unspeakable horror rest in peace.

This is part of the Daily Kos marching orders that the leftwing loons are following (kinda like goosestepping, huh?) to go all over the net and misrepresent every republican or tea party candidate they can. Taking this completely out of context and running down people following the Goebbels/Alinsky playbook. Won't work.

The dedication says a mouthful. Candidate's own words say it all, though.

In a word....."yes". He is neither condemning nor glorifying.

Dressing up in German S.S uniforms is well absurd. Fortunately, the district is a safe Democratic seat around Toledo, so this guy doesn't have a shot in hell of becoming a Congressman

"Incredible things", not glorifying?

So you admit you've been incessantly posting TEA Party bashing threads without actually understanding what the TEA Parties are about?

I can't say it comes as a surprise but it's nice to see you finally admitting it.
