The Indiana Congressional Candidate the GOP Wishes Would Go Away

On the face of it, Tony Zirkle looks like the perfect candidate for Congress: He attended the Naval Academy, he has a degree from Georgetown, and he went on to be a top prosecutor in Indiana, crusading against Internet pornography.

There’s only one problem — or maybe more than one, as far as the Indiana Republican Party is concerned.

Zirkle, who is seeking the GOP nomination for the state’s 2nd Congressional District, believes — among other things — that whites are victims of a “genocide,” that the races should be segregated into different states and that pornography is a Jewish plot against women.

“We’d love for him to disappear — not for the sake of our party but for his own sake,” said Jay Kenworthy, communications director for the Indiana GOP.

On top of all that, Zirkle accepted an invitation to address a group of swastika-wearing, Sieg-Heiling Nazi party members at a celebration of what would have been Adolf Hitler’s 119th birthday on April 20 in Chicago — birthday cake and all.

I know that America is a country founded on freedom and our laws are based on our Constitution, so this man is free to buy into this tripe… but I find this shameful. Adolf Hitler’s insanity terrorized Europe and Russia and caused the deaths of not only millions of Jews, but Gypsies, Slavs, and even Catholics, as well as mentally challenged and handicapped people. Add to that the citizens and military of the allied forces that fought to stop the Nazis, I fail to understand this man and what he is doing (or thinking for that matter!). This is not someone who deserves to be honored by a free people or to occupy a seat in Congress. This just simply makes me sick and I hope the 2nd district will do the right thing and not vote for this man.
