GOP Candidate Spends Hitler's birthday with Neo-Nazis

At least one current Republican candidate is not afraid to show his true colors when it comes to being a member of the party of discrimination and intolerance. Would that more members of today's GOP would be honest about their views of those who are not white and preferably Protestants. While Zirkle's opponents outwardly decry Zirkle's comments and actions, the Party as a whole continues to pander to the likes of Don Wildmon, James Dobson, and Tony Perkins (who had dealings with David Duke of KKK fame) who maintain web sites that carry a decidedly intolerant anti-immigrant, anti-gay, Christianist agenda. As I have said before, the GOP that I once knew has largely ceased to exist. Here are some highlights from Raw Story:
*
Tony Zirkle is running for the 2nd District GOP nomination, but he has no support from local party officials, and the front-running candidate there refused to even participate in a recent debate with Zirkle.
*
Zirkle said he would speak to any group that invites him, and that he admired the American National Socialist Workers Party's concern about "prostitution of young white women," according to WSBT-TV. Overthrow.com, a Web site associated with the "white advocacy" organization, reported that Zirkle "spoke on his history as a state’s attorney in Indiana, prosecuting Jewish and Zionist criminal gangs involved in trafficking prostitutes and pornography from Russia and the Zionist entity."
*
Previously, Zirkle has questioned whether racial integration was a good idea, and he's proposed sending sex offenders to the guillotine. The suggestion that pornography "pimps" be subjected to the guillotine came during a 2006 campaign against then-incumbent Chris Chocola. He garnered 30 percent of the vote in that primary.
