On Sunday, Tony Zirkle, a Republican candidate for Indiana’s 2nd District, took time out from saving the economy by shredding vintage Playboys (of course!) so he could attend a 119th birthday celebration for Adolf Hitler. He claims he was only there to talk about his experience as a state’s attorney in Indiana, his wacky theories about pornography, and to preach the gospel, so of course his being there had absolutely nothing to do with his segregation plan that would allow blacks to “have six states, so instead of having one half-black senator, well they would have 12.”
Now it turns out that the St. Joseph County Republican Party is trying to distance itself from Zirkle. I wonder why?
No Trackbacks To “GOP Candidate Tony Zirkle Wishes Adolf a Happy Birthday“
Sad thing is, in the GOP, such a stunt would still not cost him support!
how about tying together the story of Prescott Bush, Fritz Thyssen, Averill Harriman, Union Bank of New York and Nazi Germany.
A bit more relevant to today than some minor hack cozying up to FBI-ran cointelpro-styled Neo-nazis.
Is that Granpa Bush’s ole buddy up there on the wall?
Hahahaha.
Is this for real? This is too much.
Is he really a Rethuglican? I’d believe it more if he was actually shredding a copy of the Constitution rather than Playboys - we need vintage Playboys.
La Commedia continue’
Come to think of it, since Bill O’Lielly once compared Adrianna Huffington to the Nazis, do you think the Felaffel King will even make mention of this shameful business? Don’t bet on it.
Now this is the type of crap we need to clean up. Thanks for posting it Bill.
Somehow, that was one of the scariest video ever posted on C&L.
anyone have a link to the entire speech? i need a laugh
and dang, before the boob shredded that first edition of playboy, i wish he woulda called me…i woulda bought it off him
i coulda made a nice piece of change for it on ebay
and can someone explain how this guy keeps getting the repug nom? are there that many nazis in indiana?
“I’m a uniter, not a divider” - The biggest lie EVER.
Yeah, the lizards of the lgf are disgusted with this guy.
Confront the reality. Even though it is uncomfortable to do so.
You know, Godwin’s Law breaks both ways: if you voluntarily associate yourself with Hitler, none of us are under any obligation to even engage your arguments. You may be summarily dismissed.
DID SOMEBODY SAY JOHN “THE REPUBLICAN” MCCAIN
Please remember to digg it!

Zirkle is a Republican. I say that the first debate between Gone InSane and the Democratic nominee must concentrate entirely on why InSane has not rejected and denounced Zirkle.
now we see why obama is having a hard time in the midwest…..this guy probably loves clinton
Lucianne’s cheeto-addled spawn Jonah must be in deep fits of denial over this one.
The expressions on the faces of the two guys sitting at the table, the sound of his voice, the pic of Hitler, the birthday decor, just the whole thing was creepy as hell. Plus I heard a baby in the background. I guess when the baby gets older they can tell it one of the first birthday parties that it attended was one for Hitler.
Why am I not surprised? Just need the confederate flag and Robert E Lee and you have the trifecta!
Meet the face and future of the modern GOP.
“St. Joseph County Republican Party is trying to distance themselves from Zirkle”: OMG they haven’t expelled him already?
Much like McCain, distancing himself from Hagee’s remarks. They still want those votes though.
So, are we allowed to say Republicans ARE Nazis now?
The Crapture @ 18:
Jonahs on a corn syrup IV drip. He thinks adding tonnage will double his IQ. 12 is a good number.
Zirkle is a freak who would do or say anything for the publicity.
The South Bend Tribune article is beyond the pay wall now, but here is a link to Taking Down Words, a good IN blog-

Oh yeah….I’d like to hear from the many WWII vets still alive of wht they think of the U.S. flag being displayed on a podium along with the Swastika Blutfahne? (Bloodflag)
gotta be a perv
A porn-obsessed Nazi segregationist? Sounds like the perfect Republican to me.
Is this a Monty Python skit?
I bet Zirkle “hung out” with them after the gig.
From the site linked in the post about shredding Playboy magazines: “He also claimed to be the ‘pro-sex candidate’ and said by shredding the magazine he was trying ‘to set an example for men to put away their pornography and focus their attention on their wives.’
“According to Zirkle, the national economy would boom ‘if more men were married and in healthy relationships,’ because their creativity and untapped talents would be released.”
I got a better look at him at that site. He looks like a patient from a mental ward. This guy is seriously weird.
upchuck @ 28:
Now, Adolf be a big boy and blow out the candles!
OMG this is so funny. A GOPer at a Hitler Birthday Party. It doesn’t get any funnier than that.
OMG I think I just peed myself.
OK OK try and breathe!
[In English next time, huh? Site Monitor]
I believe Mr Zirkle has issues
Remind me to go around Indiana on my Winnebago tour of the US.

The comments are acting all funky. Good time for me to check out.
I hope everyone has a good evening.
Joe Leiberman is giving the Democrats a bad name, just as this guy is giving the Republican a bad name. I know after Katrina Hurricane and the levy breaking and the slow response to help most of the Afro-American doesn’t paint a pretty picture for the Republican. I think we all gone pretty soft for awhile for the criminal to set up shop in both party. I would encourage your fellow Republican to clean up the shop and same for the Democrats to sweep the likes of Joe Leiberman off the front entrance. I trust that Barack is not setting up a black supremacist, as Joe seem to be a Jewish supremest, and Tony Zirkle to be a Aryan supremacist.
No more divisiveness and get anyone who is honest, fair and compassionate to represent all people. No more Labeling all Republican base on this chump Zirkle.
wow - did you hear the kid in the background - who would bring their kid to this thing? Completely sick
And of course Zirkle didn’t even so much as take one little peek inside those Playboy magazines before shredding them.
At least not in public.
Zeeesh! What a creep!
What next for his shredder? Harry Potter?
Wot, no mention of “Precious Bodily Fluids???” :) :)
Come on!!! Thats hilarious. How many people had to sign something to get this guy on the GOP ballot in Indiana and what percentage of the population of Indiana is that? hahahahaha
I looked at his website - he says he’s for repealing the Bush tax-cuts for the top 1-2% and that he favors a one time immigration amnesty. On the other hand, there’s Hitler’s Birthday party, his “kinder gentler” segregation pogram, er, program and the haircut. The haircut worries me most of all. What do you call it? It’s not really “high and tight”. Maybe the “Young Ratzinger”? Or the “Eagle’s Nest Special”? The “Horst Wessel”? Anyway, by Indiana Republican standards he seems to be actually left of Dan Burton. Sorry hoosiers, but your state is fucked up.
He’ll have a job at Faux by the end of the week.
I can’t imagine ordering that ice cream cake at Baskin Robbins…
@39Forrest Prince says,
He’s a republican. Sorry, but Harry Potter will have to wait until they’re done with the Constitution.
Now I’m from South Bend and let me assure you that we’re not all like this. Also, in their defense, they’ve been trying to distance themselves form the nutjob for a while. He was the same guy that asked whether desegregation really had worked. I don’t think he’s representative of the vast majority of the party up here. At least I hope not.

Okay….my pleasure!
“If you celebrate Hitler’s birthday, you must be a real assh*le!”

Forrest Prince @ 39:
Danielle Radcliffe is Jewish. It’s a conspiracy I tell you.
StirFry @ 30:
No, no, the painting on the wall is clearly of Hilter, and the guy on the left of Zirkle is a descendent of Heimlich Bimmler.
Chaz @ 45:
I grew up in southern Indiana where the KKK was alive and well. Just one more reason to vote..
OBAMA ‘08!
Fade @ 24:
Nazi’s are so twentieth century, Fascist Corporatiest are closer to the Blackwater thugs image.
Nazis?, just a nod to the Bush family fathers.
According to Nazi introducing him, “Tommy” Zirkle is a graduate of the Naval Academy where he was president of his class and graduated in the top 5%. His peers at the Naval Academy made him CLASS PRESIDENT!!!

Jonah keeps his pants unzipped just to count to eleven, so 12 is kind of like infinity to him (and infinity
