[Wild Cobra]

yeah, it will just cost him the election.

It just might. that's why I referred to it as an October Surprise.

[clambake]

Careful. You might overload the graspers with common sense.

Dude seems to be more of a history nerd than anything else.

I think if one were to ask him, he would probably readily acknowledge the um, shortcomings, of the National Socialist Workers Party.

Agreed. I think the main problem here is he's running for office and trying to garner votes - dressing up as a nazi seems like the wrong move, from a PR standpoint.

Yes, if anyone went to the website, they have this:

Disclaimer: This page or anyone involved in its 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), and wholeheartedly condemn the atrocities which made them infamous. May the victims of this unspeakable horror rest in peace. As we portray the German combat soldier, we are only interested in recreating his daily life, furthering our understanding of what it took to be a soldier, and at the same time having fun reliving history. We honor the men (and women) who really experienced the war, and we salute their courage and loyalty to put their lives on the line in defense of their native soil, no matter what nationality or government.

that disclaimer is hilarious.
