ABC: Boehner ‘May Actually Meet With a Man Who’s Dressed Up in a Nazi Uniform’
On Saturday’s Good Morning America, ABC correspondent David Kerley not only made sure to assert that House Republican Leader John Boehner "may" meet with a controversial Republican congressional nominee who has a history of dressing in a Nazi uniform as part of World War II reenactments, but the ABC correspondent sloppily worded his statement on the matter as if the candidate, Ohio Republican Rich Iott, were wearing the uniform during the campaign as Kerley vaguely referred to a candidate "who's dressed up" -- presumably meaning "who has dressed up" -- in a Nazi uniform. Even though some viewers may not be familiar with the story, Kerley offered no elaboration as he introduced a soundbite of Boehner speaking at a rally. Kerley:
The top Republican in the House will be in Ohio basically telling voters – and he may actually meet with a man who's dressed up in a Nazi uniform and is running for Congress there – he'll be telling voters it's time to get out. He could be the next Speaker of the House, John Boehner. That's the way he was introduced last night in Ohio...
Below is a transcript of the relevant portion of the Saturday, October 30, Good Morning America on ABC:
DAN HARRIS: Republicans, as you may know, are expected to make big gains in both the House and the Senate, but they are not taking their momentum for granted in this final weekend. David Kerley is here with more on the Republican strategy to seal the deal in this final weekend. David, good morning to you.
DAVID KERLEY: Good morning, Dan. And the Republicans are out. They will be talking to their voters trying to get them out. In fact, the top Republican in the House will be in Ohio basically telling voters – and he may actually meet with a man who’s dressed up in a Nazi uniform and is running for Congress there – he'll be telling voters it's time to get out. He could be the next Speaker of the House, John Boehner. That's the way he was introduced last night in Ohio, and he told a Republican county meeting that he would run the House differently than the Democrats, even than the Republican who preceded him in the House. And he tapped into that Republican anger that is sweeping across the nation.

Future Republican Speaker of the House meeting with a Nazi.
Republicans and Nazi's, the two words are interchangeable.
How low will the MSM go with innuendo and guilt by half truths?
The Democrats and the MSM has worn out the race card and by now the Hitler and Nazi aspersions/comparisons.
The MSM should have zero credibility after this election.

Doesn't the main stream media have zero credibility going into this election?

The Democrats are increasingly desparate. In Florida, the Democrats are running non-stop smear ads against Colonel Allen West.
The Democrats and their media fellow travelers must be very concerned to resort to these tactics.

...and it goes on all the time. Intentionally giving viewers/reader the wrong idea.
At a minimum, a responsible professional would say "who, in the past, has dressed up....as part of a WW II re-enactment."
Of course, if they described the situation accurately, there would be no issue and no story.

All said Boehner and Iott met and gave each other (Nazi) "salutes". The Nazi part was implied.

Those leftists are still bashing that Republican who dressed up as a Nazi in his HISTORICAL RE-ENACTMENTS? Good god, at worst this only makes him look like a dork. If his campaign had any sense it would go through the archives of Hollywood and found clips of every celebrity that ever wore a Nazi uniform for a TV show, documentary, or movie and label them as Nazi.
How twisted is our world that the left can get away with something so incredibly stupid while on NBC's The Biggest Loser I actually saw one of the hosts wearing a shirt with CCCP written on it? This was actually on the show and not a photo of him out on the street.

Who else dressed up as a Nazi?

Do you know who else repeatedly dressed up as a Nazi?
Gary Beach.
He even won an award for repeatedly dressing up as a Nazi. In fact, he beat Brad Oscar for that award, another guy who repeatedly dressed up as a Nazi.
Like Rich Iott, they had a reason for dressing up as Nazis. It's called "pretending."
What about all the blue dogs.....?

They all dressed up as conservatives and pro-lifers but when push came to shove they betrayed all the people who voted for them and they weren't pretending.

What is the difference of dressing up like a Nazi for a re-enactment of history and dressing up like a Nazi for a Hollywood movie? Do they not both serve to examine and learn about WWII? This is a non-issue that the mainstream media has tried to spin into a controversy.

P.S. A lot of people died in the Civil War on both sides. Why is that kind of re-enactment somehow "O.K." but WWII re-enactments bad? My goodness the media sucks.
