It sure is nice to see that Sally Kern isn’t the only Republican getting press attention for being an intolerant ass. Recently Tony Zirkle gave a speech to a group who was celebrating the anniversary of Adolf Hitler’s birthday. While Republicans, like Trent Lott or Sean Hannity, are often associated indirectly with white supremacy, it’s still refreshing when one has the strength of character to openly express their racist and hate filled ways.

Tony is defending his actions saying that “I’ll speak before any group that invites me, I’ve spoken on an African-American radio station in Atlanta.”

Yes, apparently to Tony Zirkle talking to African-Americans is exactly the same thing as celebrating Hitler’s birthday with a bunch of racist Neo-Nazi’s. Of course he did suggest segregating blacks to their own states away from everyone else so celebrating Hitler’s birthday is probibly to be expected.

I expect someone will quickly try to dismiss Tony Zirkle as a nutjob (he is) and not representative of Republicans (he is). Of course I expected Republicans to try to disown the hateful and intolerant views of Sally Kern and they defended her so maybe I will be wrong again. I just can’t seem to let go of the notion that deep down Republicans are good people no matter how often they prove me wrong.
