NC Democrat Tim Spear's Mailer: You Always Want the Wehrmacht Covering Your Back
On the bright side, these were only WWII reenactors, not real German soldiers that the North Carolina Democratic Party wants to back. It's certainly a step up from the white supremacist unit they supported in the only successful military coup d'état in American history (via Big Government).
The wikipedia article was obviously written by a "person of color", up on Zinn's "people's history" judging by the 5th grade level it was written.
Conservatives should not endorse such revisionist comic-book garbage.
I don't understand this bizarre neocon strategy to co opt "OMG NAZIS" from the liberal nerds. The republican / conservative spheres will always be 90 percent white as the political and cultural beliefs that form them are largely genetically determined (and no that is not a bad, "nazi" thing, like we should have to apologize for our genetics), we shouldn't dumb down the message to make it palatable for all the worlds people.
Posted by: Paleocon at October 28, 2010 06:56 PMPaleocon, conservatives have enough trouble defending themselves from false racism accusations without having to contend with the real thing. Your opening comment is offensive and ignorant.
If you're trolling, please leave. If you actually think this way, you need to do some serious soul-searching.

Posted by: Ric James at October 29, 2010 09:05 AMThis reminds me of the group that Obama has surrounded himself with ih the WH. They are all acedemics and none of them have any real world experience. Just like the 20 something that put this idiotic ad together using German soldiers instead of Americans. This enexperienced kid just needed soldiers and is so militarily uninformed that he didn't know one from another.

Based on the camouflage smocks these are Waffen SS troops.
Freudian slip?
Posted by: Uncle Fester at October 29, 2010 09:38 PMLOL you beat me to it Uncle Fester, definitely late Waffen SS. I think those are post 1944 camouflage patterns. You have to be really out of it to not recognize that these are German soldiers, hilarious. On a related note that SS reenactor guy Iotte has gotten a raw deal. Dressing up as an SS soldier for a reenactment no more makes you a Nazi than a dracula costume makes you a vampire. I am an American Loyalist revwar reenactor, but don't love General Washington any less for it!
Posted by: Will Butler at October 30, 2010 11:34 AMI'm not so sure the Democrats made a stupid mistake, be-clowning themselves. They literally believe it. They just don't experience reality the same as normal people.
Posted by: brando at October 31, 2010 07:31 PMYep, Waffen SS. But also eastern front. So at least they were pointed in the right direction...
