Tony Zirkle, who is seeking the Republican nomination in northern Indiana's 2nd District, stood in front of a painting of Hitler, next to people wearing swastika armbands and with a swastika flag in the background for the speech to the American National Socialist Workers Party in Chicago on Sunday.
"I'll speak before any group that invites me," Zirkle said Monday. "I've spoken on an African-American radio station in Atlanta."
He compared his speech to other politicians appearing at Bob Jones University.
George W. Bush, then a candidate for president, was criticized eight years ago for speaking at the South Carolina school, which teaches students that Catholicism is a cult. Also at the time of the speech, the school banned interracial dating, a policy that has since been dropped.
"Some people are going to impute motives and say things that I mean, but many of these people have never even talked to me. So their ability to say what I intended is not very credible," Zirkle said.
He said he did not know much about the neo-Nazi group and that his intention was to talk on his concern about "the targeting of young white women and for pornography and prostitution."
Local Republicans condemned Zirkle's appearance.
"I cannot believe that in 2008 anyone could think so backward," Luke Puckett, another 2nd District GOP candidate, said in a written response.
Chris Riley, Republican Party chairman for St. Joseph County, said he found Zirkle's comments "nauseating and repulsive."
The event was not the first time Zirkle has raised controversy on race issues. In March, Zirkle raised the idea of segregating races in separate states. Zirkle said Tuesday he's not advocating segregation, but said desegregation has been a failure.
Zirkle received 30 percent of the vote in the 2006 primary, losing to incumbent Chris Chocola, who was defeated in the general election. Zirkle said Tuesday that winning the election is not his primary goal.
"My primary purpose is to educate and inform," he said.

See all 220 CommentsZirkle spoke on his history as a state''s attorney in Indiana, prosecuting Jewish and Zionist criminal gangs involved in trafficking prostitutes and pornography from Russia and th Zionist entity. Jones spoke on the racial situation in the United States and Junker spoke on his experiences during the Third Reich and after the war. White spoke on the need to focus on the current economic crisis, parallels between the US today and Germany in 1930, and the need to focus on the white working class."
This is the core of the Republican party, Nazis, racists, religious intolerants, and elitists.
Both Democrat contenders need to focus now on hammering this fact home.
Which is a bald faced lie, Puckett has obviously known Zirkle, and the Nazi movement in Illinois, it was even made a joke of in the "Blues Brothers" movie, every one knows that there are such Neanderthals in the US.
Since he is a fellow Republican, Puckett waits until this story comes out to comment on it. While he speaks against it, Puckett''s voting record would probably be a perfect match for Zirkle''s...
But shows no concern for any other ethnicities, indicating that he is indeed a racist. Exploitation of women for porn and prostitution is wrong regardless of ethnic stripe, to single one group for concern, rejecting the other groups, automatically indicates an ulterior motive that is not good.
In public, hi might, but we all know privately, Riley agrees with Zirkle-jerk, and the other Nazis in the Republican party.
The Republican party is full of nazis.
Well, that is just fine.
Add this GOP politician to the long list of rabid racists, child molesters, adulterers, and crooks that the Republican party proudly carries. The more examples that come to light will hopefully begin to make the majority of Americans realize that Conservatism is an obsolete collection of ideals and does everything to reverse the advancement of humanity.
The Democrats, by the way, have their share of follies but they pale in comparison to the shear amount of abhorrent actions committed by the GOP over the past two-plus-decades!

LOL Thanks! LOL I guess there''s no reason to say I TOLD YOU SO huh?? LOL Now all together now! SIEG HEIL REPUBLICAN''S
A bittersweet vindication, eh, McVet, to be proven literally correct about something so bad?
It may be tied with illinois, with Michigan third.
In Texas, it is not so much an organization as much as a prevalent mentality.
This proves the Republican party Should have its own definition in the Websters dictionary.
Republican; to be moronic, to be of low moral standing, with no ethics or conscience.
I wonder if this guy sleeps in a black shirt or a brown shirt at night.

And white sheets.
Don''t forget the white sheets.
Do they give jews gas showers at these parties?
It may be tied with illinois, with Michigan third."
Where did you get the information on Michigan Klan membership?
So, one Republican and all are bad and lumped into the same pile. I believe that''s profiling and I thought your party was against that.
Again, what did he say. I don''t see that anywhere in this article.
mcvet, I know you have issues, hope they are gettins resolved.

Are you not proud of being what you are now?

and gold teeth extractions?
I suppose there isn''t a region in the country that wouldn''t find his brand of right wing fantasy appealing but I have to second brianbwb''s assesment that the western Great Lakes region seems to have an unusually high number (or an unusually vocal number) of them.
I have more bad news....As our economy continues to tank and the value of American workers of all ethnicities continues to depreciate we''ll see more of these political trolls pop up like mushrooms after a spring rain. Folks like Zirkle - and David Duke, Ann Coulter, Judge Roy Moore, Randall Terry, Fred Phelps and countless other rightist pit bulls - can and will prey on the fear and insecurity most of us feel from time to time to push their own unique brand of "American" values. They are becoming the mainstream of the Republican party and have no compunctions about using the same divide''n''rule and false flag tactics that other 19th and 20th (and early 21st) century historical monsters have used to gain power. Zirkle isn''t an abberation of today''s GOP but the epitome of it.
Tony Zirkle, who is seeking the Republican nomination in northern Indiana''s 2nd District, stood in front of a painting of Hitler, next to people wearing swastika armbands and with a swastika flag in the background for the speech to the American National Socialist Workers Party in Chicago on Sunday.
Read above portion again, visualize what he stood in front of, what he was standing next to, and as McVet would probably would say you have a real life image of a Republican. Or in all fairness A REALLY STUPID REPUBLICAN!
Top Ten Reasons Tony Zirkle Attended Nazi Meeting:
1. Hoping to get Hitler''s endorsement;
2. Seeking the more liberal republican votes;
3. Stirring interest in the young republican voter;
4. Tired of kosher food;
5. It''s the only way he could meet karl rove;
6. Loves to play the "How many jews can you pack in a boxcar" game;
7. What goes on in "the party" stays in "the party";
8. It''s like home;
9. Who can resist that invitation?
10. If you can overlook their hating, Nazis are really like you and me.
7. Can''t beat the 50 cent beer;

I don''t believe there is a republican or democrat that will be nominated for saint hood.
But face it, this has got to get Tony Zirkle nominated for "are you brain dead award"
Well said, afmca
Everyone knows that the GOP is fundamentally the same thing as the Nazi party, so why is anyone surprised?
SEIG HEIL BUSH!!!!!!!!
(use Rev Wrights voice) NO, NO, NO, NO Not God Bless America, God D-am america, yes he did!
This is the first Primary since the real Obama has been discovered:
wright - printed pro-hamas, racist, anti-american
farakahn
million man march
typical white people
side with muslims(from his own book)
ISM support(has not broke yet, it will)
First Lady - finally proud, America is Mean, Essay.
Obama - typical whites, guns and religion, anti-immigrant

Obama is the most far left liberal in the senate.
DONT KID YOURSELF , THE REST OF THE PRIMARYS ARE GOING TO LOOK THE SAME. OBAMA IS DONE. GOD BLESS AMERICA, he really is looking out for us.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now folks, don''t draw any conclusions from
this one Nazi/republican event.
I urge you to keep supporting the republican party.
It is our only (white supremacist) hope.
Thank you in advance for the money you will send
the party as a show of support.
Imagine that, another Republican Nazi.
I mean, Indiana.

There wouldn''t be any left.

Just been on the site too. You''re right, why is he so obsessed with porn? It almost seems to be his main focus.
And people acuse Sen. Obama for being un-American because his pastor (not him) spoke inappropriately. These GOP nut cases keep asking, "Why didn''t he disassociate himself from his pastor?" Well, why the h*eLL did this GOP scumbag ASSOCIATE himself with hitler and those that believe in a reincarnated nazi party?! TALK ABOUT HYPOCRASY AND DOUBLE STANDARDS ! ! Its GOP spewing cr*aP again which they do 24/7... This is America where ANYONE can be president, where people are free...
Discovering that he was "caught" and hoping that the usual GOP Fascist "doublespeak" would work for him, he is claiming that he was asked to give a speech and had no idea it was for the Nazis. It is puzzeling why Zirkle, when he entered the room and discovered that it was filled with Nazis, didn''t turn around on his heels and walk out. Perhaps he thought they were all loyal card-carrying Republicans (which they probably were!)!
All this proves to everyone that the GOP IS the re-birth of the Nazi Party, that the elephant will be replaced by the swastika, and we will all be greeting any GOP candidate with a "SIG HEIL"!
SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!!
sig heil, (more of the same) John "McBush" McCain!!!
"Jews are prohibited from acquiring, possessing, and carrying firearms and ammunition, as well as truncheons or stabbing weapons. Those now possessing weapons and ammunition are at once to turn them over to the local police authority.
Firearms and ammunition found in a Jew''s possession will be forfeited to the government without compensation. Whoever willfully or negligently violates the provisions...will be punished with imprisonment and a fine."
