Exclusive Rich Iott Photos Demonstrate DC GOP’s Spinelessness
I've already taken sell-out, minority whip Eric Cantor and Session's NRCC to task for their spinelessness in the face of false charges levied by the Left against Rich Iott. Iott is within 5 points of knocking off the longest serving Democrat Progressive in Congress Marcy Kaptur according to recent polls.
There is nothing extremist about military reenactment as a hobby. And it takes both sides of the battle to conduct such an activity, which is popular in all fifty states. I've also posted a long list of reenactment groups focused on the German army. Do the feckless Cantor and Sessions now assert that those people are all Nazi sympathizers, too?
The Left doesn't bail on its candidates when they are unfairly attacked. And if that's what Cantor and Sessions advocate, perhaps because Iott isn't a long-time GOP insider, then neither man is qualified to lead anything having to do with the GOP. They are all too typical of the forever cowardly DC establishment GOP, more interested in what the Washington Post says about them, than the Republican base.
So, if TPM claims Iott is a Nazi supporter based upon nothing but reenactment photos, what to make of this photo with Iott in a Union uniform during a Civil War reenactment? Well, Cantor is from Virginia and Sessions of Texas likes to use his good old boy charm, maybe they aren't thrilled with how that one came out? I mean, fair is fair, right?
Or, what about WW I? I'm told that's Iott in the center below. My God, what is a then alleged fledgling Nazi doing fighting against Germany? Principled people fight for the truth and for accuracy, they don't cave in because they are afraid to fight what is no more than a silly PR battle. And if the GOP establishment today, especially Cantor and Sessions, lack the spine to do that, then they have no business in leadership, as I said.
Cantor should be disqualified from serving in the leadership of any next Congress given his despicable performance, demonstration of fecklessness and his willingness to tar a good Republican with the brush of Nazi for his engaging in innocent activity. I bet he would really throw a fit if the Washington Post used a picture of him in which, God forbid, his hair was mussed. We don't need apparent lightweights like Cantor pretending to be leaders. We need Republicans with backbone who aren't afraid to fight for what's right, as well as accurate. Both he and Sessions should be ashamed of themselves and apologize to Republican candidate, Rich Iott for their pathetic display of political cowardice.
Minority Leader Boehner is from Ohio, it's about time we heard from him, as well. Is he really qualified to lead, or is he going to turn tail and run everytime the Democrats attack him after November – just like it appears Cantor and Sessions will? I understand there are other photos of Iott during reeneactments, as well, I hope he never portrayed a Russian. This politically correct nonsense is far worse than any alleged McCarthyism ever was. And the GOP establishment shouldn't be caving in to it out of expedience. They are no better than the worst smear merchants on the Left for doing so.
Stupider than stupid, Cantor. Apologize now, thusly: “I said something yesterday without thinking clearly and I’m sorry to Rich Iott. There is nothing wrong with war reenactment as a hobby. I stupidly got it confused with Nazism and I’m very sorry for the idiotic gaffe.”
It’s so far beyond the pale that I would have a tough time voting for Cantor in the general if I lived in his district instead of here in the 5th. You have to be able to look yourself in the mirror and say you didn’t vote for a spineless moron.
ok fine lets just forget about the goofy SS photos.
I will admit that if he had ever dressed as a clown that
the circus freaks and sideshow geeks (at msnbc) would be
going nuts.
Now can you please tell me about his QUALIFICATIONS.
I mean what kind of experience does he have?
Has he ever held an office?
Has he ever ran a office of any kind?
Does he have a Law degree?
(no, no, and no)
I heard that he worked at a grocery store! Thats it.
Political Experience: ZIP, ZERO, NIL
So what makes this lettuce peddler so special?
Why not go with someone that has the ability to win an election?
Is it just cause he is a TEA Guy?
How many pictures of Hollywood liberal can be found with a Nazi uniform? They are both just acting. It is the same thing. The old guard GOP still has no spine.
Great post!
The sad thing is the Left is going to run with this as far as they can, and far too many Conservative Pols, and organizations, will run from it in their ignorance, and Mr. Iott just might lose.
By the way, if there was a Re-enactment of a battle between Tito’s Yugoslav Army of 1946/47, and a certain group of Macedonian Nationalist Partisans, whose side would some of you reading this prefer to play the part of?
This is a trick question, actually…
If you chose the Nationalist side you’d probably be criticized like Iott was.
Why? Because Tito was “Our” Commie after WW2, in the emerging Cold War fight against the Ruskies.
My DAD lost an eye sabataging a railroad as one such Nationalist, and fled the country when his unit was betrayed, never to see his parents, or 3 sisters again…because he preferred to live free.
After several years in refugee camps in Greece, and Italy, he was sponsored for legal immigration to America in 1951, married in 1957, and raised3 children (I was born in 1960), while holding down a job.
He died in 1988, after spending the last 18 years of his life in mental institutions.
They’re all cowards no matter the bluster you hear about “challenging Obama’s misguided economic policies” blah, blah, blah. In the final analysis they still care more about the received wisdoms and apellations of the MSM and the Washington culture than rough-hewn liberty-based conservatism. They won’t put themselves on the line over any issue that they know the MSM can spin and dominate.
You can’t seriously expect the Republican leadership to publicly support Iott’s penchant for dressing up like a Nazi, can you?

Thanks for posting the photos. I’ve linked to his military reenactment hobby, but these are the first photos I’ve seen.
The GOP should have treated this as a non-story.
the MULTIPLE roles he has played in different war reenactments is quite compelling.
am i to believe that anyone who has worn the nazi uniform in any recreation is a nazi?
clint eatwood and richard burton looked rather spiffy in the unis in where eagles dare.
ok…so they were just actors, which, incidentally, in appears Iott was as well.
one might argue that they could wear the uniform, because they were really british and americans ‘playing’ nazis.
where does that leave gregory peck, playing mengele in ‘the boys from brazil’?
should someone flash me a pic of clint in his nazi uniform and tell me he is a nazi sympathizer? everyone knows, he is an ACTOR. I wish a lib good luck in explaining the ‘rights’ of wearing a uniform for actors, and would ask them to explain how playing a role should determine how I should judge them…
had he had the one, and only one, affiliation to the role as a waffen ss soldier, it might have gained more traction. his hobby, in the context of his multiple reenactments now appears rather benign.
Fuinny when a democrap dresses up as a maoist it is roleplay but when a republican dresses up as a nazi he is a legit nazi please walk off a cliff barfbrain
and take carpenter with you
clearly woody harrelson is a raving psychopath, as I saw natural born killers and that was his role.
what kind of a person plays a sick serial killer?
an actor.
**********************************
the silver bullet in this matter?
saving private ryan…pretty patriotic film…
guess who played the german soldiers?
an british reenactment group, who gasp…dressed up as nazis and participated in reenactments, outside of the film.
http://www.matlockmercury.co.uk/news/local-news/roaring_back_to_the_forties_1_869125
spielberg had no qualms against hiring these people? they were there and lent their ‘craft’ to the making of what some consider the greatest WWII movie.
case closed.
spiellberg is a NAZI he must die
oh wait never mind he is a moonbat
OK has Rich Iott ever dressed up as a WITCH? if not he might be
electable. But I gotta admit this is getting pretty darn funny.
1st we get the Anti-Civil Rights Tea Guy Rand Paul
2nd theres the former Witch Christine the Tea Gal, and now
3rd we get the Grocery Man that dresses up like a soldier
How many other TEA candidates are there? Will it always be like this?
Are they all this ridiculous? Do they all have foot shaped mouths?
I could make millions doing a crazy TEA PARTY REALITY TV SHOW simply
by just letting these three morons just be their selves.
Gee and I was thinking that the Libertarian/TEA people would become a
serious problem. I was really getting worried until today! Give them 2
years and a length of rope and they’ll all hang their selves.
Ya know if this wasn’t so freaking bizarrely real it would made a great
television show where a Witch and a Xenophobe work at a Supermarket
ran by a Nazi.
Carpenter please take your garbage back to LGF it is really getting tiring and btw your hardly one to talk about racism when al sharpton goes around deeming blacks not black enough for not towing the democrap line
and you don’t call him out for it
apparently, iott is not the only person who, dare I say, admired the SS?
“Harry Peters, a Jewish soldier from Chicago, who was with Patton’s Third Army, told his nephew, Phil Cohen, that “Patton was more concerned with saving the Lippazin Horses in Austria than the Jews left in the camp.” According to Cohen, “Patton had to be ordered to go to the concentration camps because he considered the horses more valuable.” Cohen wrote in an e-mail to me that his uncle, Harry Peters, had told him that “Patton admired the SS because he said they were the real fighting men. When they caught an SS, they were ordered to place them in separate camps as Patton wanted to train them to fight the Russians.”
http://www.scrapbookpages.com/Buchenwald/Liberation8.html
apparently, patton was a “nazi” too.
The reason I put the term “nazi” in quotes, is largely because the term is being misapplied. To be a “nazi” one must ascribe the the philosophies of nazism, or translated, “national socialism”.
did iott portray a nazi? i failed to see any evidence in the pics of him espousing the merits of national socialism. did he portray a german soldier? guilty…
as for patton? what a traitor. is george c scott still alive? I’m going to write him sternly worded email for playing a “nazi sympathizer”.
I must remember never to go to another toga party, lest someone blame me for the mass murder of european tribes in the name of conquest. of course, my father in law played the roman guard who stabbed jesus in the xmas pageant. I’ll say a prayer for his soul.
a parting patton quote, from the Patton Papers 1940-1945:
“SS means no more in Germany than being a Democrat in America — that is not to be quoted.”

Just facts Moobs
Rand Paul said what he said! I seen him say it.
Christine (the teenage witch) said what she said!
Everyone knows what came out of her mouth.
and Iott did dress up as a Nazi. A picture is worth a
1000 words. Those are FACTS! They each did those things
and all the lying in the world can’t take them back.
Will it always be like this? Gee I hope so. This is fun!
I’ll admit that the GOP is pretty screwed up but if that (see
above) is what you TEA people propose as a solution then you
are even crazier than the Liberals are.
at first I was rather agnostic about the need for cantor to apologize, but upon further review…
the simple facts are that two observant jews decided to hop on their ark of the covenant and rain down ‘bi-partisan’ fire on a german-american who violated their “too soon” policy in regards to ANYTHING german.
it would have been fine, if both qualified their judgments(they may have, but i doubt it) and before rendering a verdict, they made clear that most things related to germany world war II depletes them of the ability to render ANY judgment in the matter.
face it…it is still taboo for a jew to buy a mercedes benz, for fear of being ostracized by the tribe.
wasserman schultz can answer to her own party, which still will indulge in their victimhood status, but Cantor is another story.
His actions call into question everything and anything related to germans, israel, jews, and cultural phenomena that relates these things.
I don’t want a mormon telling me that I can’t drink caffiene, and I certainly don’t want two jews interpretting matters upon which they hold a significant ‘tribal’ bias. Schultzie is the dems problem, but cantor as a representative of a party I vaguely want to be associated with, needs to apologize for letting his personal cultural opinion cloud his judgment. You can represent your constiuents or your can represent the tribe, but don’t think that the two don’t come into conflict, and judging by his actions, I question where his priorities and loyalties lay.
All the way back up there to Jim Ryan- I do unfortunately live in Cantor’s district. I already had nose plugs to vote for McCain, from having to vote for Cantor previously. I ain’t doin’ it again this year. He will win anyway. I’ve often wondered why anyone who comes forward to challenge him in the primaries always drops out within a few weeks of announcing. He has not been up to the north side of his district in years, literally. No campaigning, no townhalls.
It amazes me that so many comments I read, on several websites, claim Cantor is such a great conservative, I’ve seen several calling for him to be the next Speaker, or even President. I cringe.
Cantor voted for Medicare Part D, No Child Left Behind, TARP, and Cash for Clunkers. I promise Cantor is a squish, and favors big government. He just wants the R’s to be in control of that big government. He is a horrid speaker, and couldn’t argue his way out of a three sided box, as was seen with Wasserman-Schultz yesterday. Did you notice how many times he said that the Dems. and the Repubs. had to work together yesterday? Last year during the Ocare debate, he was on local radio. His only complaint about Ocare was that the Dems. wouldn’t let the Repubs. sit at the table to help make “Ocare better.” He does not want full repeal of Ocare, he wants to tweak it to make it better. Did you see the major smack down he got from Laura Ingram one night on the O’Reilly show? She knows he doesn’t have the guts to repeal Ocare.
Do re mi mi mi: If Carpenter’s a libtard, is Carpenter a lady?
I think Carpenter is definitely a split-tail. I would like, however, to solicit the opinion of my long-time, er, lady friend. What do you think, Ms. Doucher?
Well, Mr. Beloit, I think you could be right. Carpenter writes in short lines, sort of like a poet, only in this case a very bad poet. Poets are sometimes female, aren’t they. Emily Dickinson, for example. And of course Carpenter seems clearly to be guided by feelings rather than logic. In short, Mr. Beloit, I really think Carpenter is either a woman or a gay man.
Once again dressing up like a Nazi, in particular the Nazis whose main job was to round up Jews shows a shocking lack of judgment. Furthermore the group seems to have a rather sympathetic view of the Nazis suggesting that they were fighting for freedom.
What’s really funny here is how often you idiots have called Obama and other political opponents “Nazis” for doing far less.
Tell us, sal, when will the tea party members be rounded up? Surely Obama, who not only keeps an enemies list like Nixon’s, but daily calls out some of those on the list for criticism (consisting of lies of course), surely Obama won’t wait for all the newly elected Repubs to actually take office.
BTW, sal, I hope the Dems are paying you minimum wage; you are worth every penny.
I AM Poet.
My CAT is a Poet.
We both know Poets.
Carpenter is no Poet.
Not even a very bad one. ;-D
Fred? Do you speak English? Clearly you don’t write it because I can’t understand what you’re babbling here. Take a deep breath and perhaps a dose of your meds and try again, this time, maybe sentence structure? A clear idea of what you’re trying to say while keeping the topic of the post in mind? It’s about a Teabagger who likes to dress up like a Nazi who specialized in rounding up Jews to be murdered. People are questioning his judgment, thinking that while there is nothing illegal about it maybe it’s not a decent thing to do? Sort of sends the wrong message?
I hear Eliot had a cat too. Perhaps even more than one. But I think sal should read the following from Obama’s very good friends at Time (“Time cries and makes you care.”) Magazine. Even they are giving up on the community shysternizer.
http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,2024718,00.html
salvage funny how your side appeases the minihitler of iran
Why don’t you dress up as an SS member, go visit a vet’s group, see what they have to say. Make sure there’s a few WWII vets there. And some Reagan Democrats.
Gee, I wonder what the TeaTard response would be if it were a Liberal dressing up as a Waffen SS member to “bond” with his kid.
But I’m with ya – I think all republicans should dress up as Waffen SS to show their support.
“It’s about a Teabagger who likes to dress up like a Nazi…”
Oh, it’s about you, sal? Why didn’t you say so?
Did you read the Time (Time cries etc.) article on Obama’s suicide, sal? Perhaps you will be able to understand it better. It is by a professional writer who must ensure he writes at no higher than the 8th grade level.
nishtard like i said your pussy in chief acts spineless when talking about the minihitler of iran and reagan democrats are war crminals in your lefty eyes so shut up
if a libtard dressed up as mao to bond with his children you brats would call it an honest mistake so please nishner walk off a cliff
Obviously using Democrat Logic we must condemn someone wearing a uniform for reenactment. Of course if we follow through on that logic every Democrat who supports Socialism in its various forms must also be condemned because they are active proponents of similar philosophies because that is far worse than a recreation of past events. This is through the lens of Democrat Logic of course. Perhaps Salvage can explain how it is far worse to recreate historical events so people know about them versus supporting policies that lead to mass death and human suffering all over the world even though I doubt that will happen.
salvage’s response:you wingnuts hate mugabe cause he is black
This isn’t a liberal/conservative thing – it’s a people are stupid thing. Iott is a Colonel in the Reserve who’s served 28 years. He also does military reenactments. German military history is studied throughout the world… heck, a huge amount of US military doctrine is based on Prussian strategies (which is now in Germany)… he’s not reenacting Nazi atrocities. It’s about tactics, military history, spending some time outdoors, and acting.
The GOP should be ashamed for not dismissing this as the non-event it really is.
Guys first of all I have to stay I’m a bleeding heart liberal.
That being said I don’t think Iott is a Nazi and I don’t think O’Donnell is a witch. But you have to admit some odd people are coming out for the tea party. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing even, I love nonpolitician politician.
I think the voters are the problem, we get so caught up in crap/static that we don’t look at what matters. Now like I said I’m a big liberal, and I think the fact that a picture of Iott in a Nazi uniform surfaces is kind funny. Personally I’d laugh it off and go vote for the other guy (not cause I think he’s Nazi, just cause I disagree with him). But there are people out there who vote for McCain because Obama is a radical black supremacist Christian muslin from Kenyan with a socialist agenda.
The American public is the problem, we only 1/2 pay attention, we read the headlines. The media knows this, the politician know this and they capitalize on it. Don’t blame the media or the other political side cause your neighbors can’t be bothered make and informed decision. They do it cause it works, they’re job is to win elections. Just like Gen. Patton’s job is to win wars, you win wars with horses not refugees. If all our 4 star Gen. were humanitarians we’d have really crappy track record when it comes to winning wars.
j
I don’t want to hear the term “young guns” anymore either, since these “young guns” are well into their 40s, and they are wimps. This GOP is quickly becoming an ever increasing joke, and I can’t wait until after the election so I can put my energy into calling out all the weak sisters in the GOP. I really can’t stand the GOP. They are like a friend who runs away when you stand up to the school bully (bully being the democrats). Not only do they run away, but they join the bully in the conversation about you the guy who confronts the bully is “just not quite right, not vetted, etc.”
Salvage-YOU NAZIS

“Once again dressing up like a Nazi, in particular the Nazis whose main job was to round up Jews shows a shocking lack of judgment.”

>by this logic, colin powell and norman schwatzkopf probably still have the uniforms for the service in vietnam. the same uniforms that were worn by us soldiers during the my lai massacre.
Are you suggesting that the American army is the equivalent of the Nazi one?
Are you comparing the My Lai Massacre to the Holocaust?
Do you ever give anything you say any sort of thought?
Now this has been fun and all that, but it is time to get serious.
Obama is pure freaking evil. Pelosi and Reid are even worse! But are we really sure that we want to throwout the entire system and let radicals reshape America into their cup of tea?
Therefore I suggest that ALL REPUBLICANS stay home in November and teach these damned Tea People a well deservered lesson. They cannot takeover the Republican Party. It does not belong to them and they can’t have it. PERIOD!
It will be better to let the Libs keep the Congress and the
Whitehouse as compared to living in a Mormon controlled PAGAN
Libertarian Tyrany.
First of all these Tea Pagans call Republicans every name in the book. We are all Neo-Cons, Republitards, War Mongers, Big Gov Liberals, RINO’s, (and whatever else they can make up) and they claim to own the PATENT to Freedom and Liberty and America…
Doesn’t that a little bit sound familiar?
Yeah it does because they are LIBERTARIANS
(not Conservatives or Republicans) and that is the
same old bat crap LIBERTARIAN PROPAGANDA that
they have spread ever since Ronald Reagan won
in his massive landslide victories. They Hated Reagan.
In 1988 Ron Paul the Libertarian candidate got 00.5%
of the Vote ( that is = to 1/2 of 1/10 of 1% ) when George
Herbert Walker Bush squashed him like a bug! They still
hate the entire Bush family.
Is that what you want in the Republican Party? Hatred?
This is the same LIBERTARIAN ideology that lied about Ronald Reagan back when he was in office and still does today. People like Glenn Beck, a Pagan, made a living lying about GW Bush while he worked for CNN (or Satan’s servants). Do you really want them fully integrated into the Republican Party? Once they are there we will be stuck with them (like rats in your walls) and their INSANE LIBERTARIAN worldview.
They want to legalize drugs and prostitution. They basically have NO MORAL values at all. Glenn Beck and Ann Coulter are Pro-Gay, and many of them are Anti-christian pro-mormon PAGANS.
Did you know that Anton Levay (of the Church of Satan)
based his Satanic Bible on the teaching of Ayn Rand?
Its true and if you don’t believe me ask any credible
Pastor about the roots of Libertarianism and their party.
The Tea People worship a Mormon Prophet who has basically become the latest ‘Golden Cow’ of the Pagan Libertarian Right. Is that what you want? Geez!! Liberalism is bad enough! Is that what you want in the Republican Party? Do we really want PAGANISM running this country?
A lot of innocent Republicans and Christians have been tricked into supporting this ‘NEW’ type of so-called Conservativism (which is a Satanic Pagan Religion) and without your help they might make the biggest mistake of their lives. Do you want them condemned to HELL? These tea people have to be stopped.
Look I understand that thee Obama is pure EVIL but to trade the Republican Party, to sell it down the river into Pagan Libertarianism is beyond crazy. Do you want Glenn Beck a Pagan Libertarian MORMON Prophet dictating Republican policies?
The Tea Pagans need to lose big in November.
The Tea Pagans need to get their OWN Political Party.
If you allow the Tea Pagans to takeover the Republican Party them this country really won’t exist anymore. Its just that simple. In November of this year please stay home. Don’t let the Tea Pagans become any more powerfull than they are already.

Are you seriously comparing the American army and the Nazi one? You don’t see a difference? Really?
Are you seriously comparing the My Lai Massacre with the Holocaust? You don’t see a difference? Really?
Do you never give any thought to what you say?
Huh, thought the first post didn’t post but now it has, weird. Oh well still valid questions that wingnut will not answer.
“You don’t see a difference?”
can you give me scale? for the particular unit…
my lai was over 500 people, at least the documented ones.
the invariable thing is that aside from killing people, armies always tend to have sins that exceed morality. ‘Your’ logic demands that I hold the etire history of the us army responsible for its sins, and diminsh their stature in my eye.
not going to happen. if I’m to judge one army, why not my army?
as a fighting force, the waffen ss was a psycholgical advancement in the art of war. one which our army matches, in zeal of training their own.
am i to find germans a particularly evil people, or can we just pretty much accept that their actions and behaviors were a product of their environment?
it would be the same thing to point to crime statitistics by race, and making broad assumptions about the nature of a race.
maybe you should take a look at current ‘warfare’ in africa. it makes the germans look like disneyland ushers. of course, by salvage logic, what does that say about africans?
don’t answer this one King Samir Shabazz…
if you do, I’ll choke on my tongue laughing.
salvage-
there is a ‘grander’ lesson from the nazis, if you are willing to accept the truth.
we all have this maleability within us, reagrdless of race, that can lead us to acts of savagery that we will blithely accept. At least in the case of the nazis, they had to perform their inhumanity among a select few soldiers, who happened or were willing to work in concentration camps.
strongly suggest you read:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment
we are almost all, nazis waiting to be born.
there’s another experiment, which at first glance seems ludcirous:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_prison_experiment
i experienced a occupation that made me understand that there was no outlandishness in the zimabrdo study. I later saw it occur at abu grahib.
we are all animals.
HHHmmmm “salvage”. That’s like junk, garbage. Say, sal, next time you come by the Walmerts to pick up the trash, don’t forget to wave now, HNYEAR.
Mark are you really so thick that you don’t get the difference between a small unit of a military force going “rogue” and the planned genocide that was the Final Solution?
As for your point that we all have inner-Nazis just waiting for the right conditions to manifest what is your point? The post is about is a Teabagger who likes to dress up as a Nazi with a group that seems to have glossed over some of the salient points that make dressing up like a Nazi distasteful at best. Are you suggesting that the Teabagger dressed like a Nazi because humans are prone to obey authority figures without question?
See this is what makes you a wingnut, rather than addressing the reality you just throw up all this pointless chaff.
He dressed like a Nazi, the embodiment of humanity’s evil, that is not a clever thing to do generally and it’s down right retarded if you’re going to run for office in a nation that shed an awful lot of blood because of Nazis. This is obvious to anyone with more brain cells than toes so I guess that’s why you’re confused.
