Dear Editor:
I learned from reading this newspaper last weekend that a Nazi has filed as
a Republican for legislative office in Butte. I want to make it clear that
neither the state nor county Republican Party organizations had any part in
recruiting this man to run for office.
The Montana Republican Party in no way condones what the Nazis stand for.
Our state party platform is very clear that we believe in a "commitment to
equal rights and equality for every citizen regardless of gender, age, race,
national origin, religion, creed, or physical impairment."
This candidate who has filed as a Republican is misinformed on a number of
levels, including his assertion that his views in any way reflect the
Republican Party's emphasis on equality. I speak for all Republicans when I
say that we did not recruit this man to run, we do not support his
candidacy, and we will work to achieve his defeat.

For the record, I certainly would not suggest that Republicans are "pro-Nazi" compared to Democrats. If there is one issue that has so far remained beyond partisan debate, it is that nobody likes Nazis.
On the other hand, if Republicans are going to blame Democrats for how Hollywood actors vote, I guess it's fair for Democrats to blame Republicans for how Nazis vote.

The Democrats need to find some real issues, don't they?
NATIONAL SOCIALIST MOVEMENT RESPONDS TO MONTANA GOP EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CHUCK DENOWETH
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
NATIONAL SOCIALIST MOVEMENT RESPONDS TO MONTANA GOP EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CHUCK DENOWETH
Republicans' Hypocrisy Shows Jewish Control Of Their Party
The comments of Montana Republican Executive Director Chuck Denowrth today to KFBB Channel 5 in Great Falls, Montana remind me of a story. Please indulge:
When I lived in Montgomery County, Maryland, I managed the campaign of Constitution Party candidate Brian Saunders. He ran for Congress in Maryland's 8th District against Democrat Terry Lierman and Republican Connie Morella. The race was tight, and both parties poured money into the campaign. Lierman spent $2 million; Connie spent $1 million. We spent $40,000.
At the end of the day, Brian won 2.6% of the vote. Connie got something like 49% Lierman got some like 48%. The Republicans took notice.
In 2002 I was invited to the Republican Party's Lincoln Day Dinner. Connie was running again and Democratic State Senator Christopher Van Hollen and State Rep Mark Shriver were vying to oppose her. The Republicans wanted to talk to me.
So I had dinner with Connie, now Maryland Governor Bob Ehrlich, Karl Rove, and most of the local Montgomery County Republican officials.
Connie Morella told me to stop running candidates against her to he right. I told her that I, and the coalition I had built, would not endorse a candidate who was anti-gun, pro-abortion and pro-war. Her response was:
"But if you keep doing this I'm going to lose and a Democrat is going to win."
I told her:
"I'd rather have an honest scumbag Democrat in office then a dishonest Republican."
One of the Republican consultants then chimed in:
"But Bill, you don't understand. It doesn't matter what the candidates think about the issues. All that matters is that they have an 'R' by their name. You see, someone who is pro-gun and anti-abortion can't survive in this District. But on important party issues she can have the occassional break and vote with the GOP."
I found that logic extremely offensive. By the end of the night, we had not reached a deal.
Connie went on to lose the next election.

The principles of the GOP have always been "it doesn't matter what the candidate believes, as long as they have an 'R' by their name."
Every time the GOP puts up a candidate that toes the Jewish line of cultural destruction on an issue, that wants to arode American's rights, or that wants to pollute our country with another round of mud invaders or take steps that help promote black crime, they tell the Republican base "it doesn't matter what the candidate believes, as long as they have an 'R' by their name."
But when a white candidate runs for office -- a candidate that bucks the Jewish line and which takes stands that the Jewish neo-cons and their white capitalist allies in the Bush administration cannot stomach -- suddenly what the candidate believes matters.
What does this tell us about the GOP establishment?
The GOP establishment exists to perpetuate the interests of the Jews, and the lines they give to Republicans living in liberal or Democratic districts about the need to compromise with Jewish culture poison are exactly that -- lies.

But most Hollywood actors ARE Democrats- No Nazi is a Republican, despite what YOU might think!
Rocky,
How can you possibly know that? There are no standards for membership in either party. If an actor who votes for Democrats is a Democrat, then a Nazi who votes for Republicans is a Republican -- especially if he also runs for office in Republican primaries.
My point was that neither party can be blamed for its worst voters (although, given a choice, I would rather have Alec Baldwin on my side than Goebbels). I'm with Eric: Not only do Democrats need to find real issues, so do Republicans.
Baldwin ( a shirt-tail relative of mine) beats Goebbels in my book too, but not by a lot. Has he moved to France (like he said he would if Bush won) yet? Stalin might vote Democrat, but that doesn't make Democrats all little Stalins. The same goes for Nazis. You can try to paint them as good little Republicans, but I'm not buying.
As Clive James said in his PBS series about the various idologies that popped up after the First World War: "...forward to Socialism, backward to Nationalism, sideways to National Socialism..."
That said, the Nazis are closer to what Republicans believe (with the exception of the Anti-Semitism coupled with gas chambers and cremetorria) than the Democrats. Especially on the use of the military and keeping the works of the government secret (along with liberal use of the secret police to keep the hoi palloi in line).
Oh, and Mr. White -- Nice use of Der Fooie. I haven't seen Adolph cut a rug since the only time he saw Paris.

You're not playing fair, Rocky. Just because Nazis vote for Republicans doesn't mean that Republicans are Nazis. And I never said otherwise.
After the misery in this world caused by the Nazis, I'm surprised, no, make that appalled, that anyone would declare themselves one! Unfortunately, those who have little if any knowledge of history and even worse, a lack of empathy for the millions of Nazi victims, both military and civilian, continue to embrace and promote this abomination!
