    The guy does re-enactments - there's nothing to this story. In order to have a historically correct re-enactment, someone has to play the bad guy.

    clearly, he's not playing. he's got that "just gassed a bunch of jews" laughter on his face.

    Also from wikipedia: Originally, the term characterized the bulk of the Middle Ages as a period of intellectual darkness between the extinguishing of the light of Rome, and the Renaissance or rebirth from the 14th century onwards.[4] This definition is still found in popular usage,[1][2][5]

    Although I am perhaps "off" in the exact dating, the Dark Ages has long been known as a roughly 1000 year period from 400-1450 AD, approximately. Now termed more loosely as part of the "Middle Ages."

    Either way, I don't think he presented his facts clearly enough to call Beck out on them.
    Don't get me wrong, I was merely presenting a reference that I found that call for that era. I'm not really a connoisseur in that part of history, and I don't intend to pass for one.

    As for the comic piece, I think we're both on the same page. it's a post like EVAY's that alarms me: why buy so eagerly into such a piece? It was mostly a scathing commentary on his programming, not much else.
    Confirmation bias? I think Beck does play the Nazi card way too much and at time unreasonably so, but ultimately he's free to say whatever he wants.
    The joke isn't on him or his critics, but those that take the bait, hook and sinker on both sides.

    Correct. You don't have to be a bad guy in video games though. That is a choice that I understand less.

    Libs are desperate and are reaching for anything they can to stop the avalanche - but it's not going to work.

    it's not a case of "sorry, but you have to be the SS soldier."

    "awww man, again?"

    it's a case of this guy admiring the Nazis and dressing up as way of commerating and honoring them. Big difference.

    if that doesnn't bother you, fine. but don't minimize what he's willingly taking a part in. His behavior is offensive to a large number of people, and it will probably cause him to lose the election (if he even had a chance to begin with).

    Don't go Joe Wilson and other chicken tea baggers on us and refuse to answer questions, or run away from the press.

    I thought he indicated he admired some of Hitler's achievements. That's not the same as admiring the man. Hitler is responsible for many good things in German. The VW Beetle and the Autobahn system just being two of them.

    I think president Clinton was one of the best leaders we ever had. That doesn't mean I agree with his policies or like him.

    No, Hitler's socialism before he took a hard genocidal curve is closer to liberal policies.

    remember that time when Clinton got all crazy and tried to wipe out an entire race? I was a big supporter until that happened.

    he didn't dress up as a road sign or herbie the love bug. he dressed as a commander of a division that lined up jews and slaughtered them.

    hitler to clinton comparison. lol

    Not at all. I'm actually pointing out these are games. Games are not real. If we are to judge someone by one violent game that pretends to kill, shouldn't the same standard hold to another game that involves killings?
    Yeah, I agree with your overall point. But if I planned on running for office, I sure would think twice before putting on a Nazi outfit, game or not.

    And there are also different levels of involvement. Playing a video game is obviously not as involved as dressing up and acting it out. That's why people who LARP (live action roleplay) are much bigger nerds than video gamers.

    It's fantasy WC. I can't kill people in real life, so I play a game. (And in fact, many people who play GTA and those types of games are just killing in an abstract way, to accomplish their mission/goal or to score points. Not many kids are killing hookers etc because they want to do that in real life; they're just testing the boundaries of the games, as nearly all video gamers do.)
