Rich Lott was only pretending to be a nazi whereas Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a real, honest to God Nazi as she demonstrated during the Terri Schiavo murder.

Stupid move by Lott & defending this is just going to make it worse for him, but I can see why he would use the reenatment arguement. Our High School Arts Dept. did a production of "The Red Badge Of Courage" & I remember all the guys that had to wear the Confederate uniforms were given quite the ribbing for being pro-slavery & racist by the othercast members even though they had little say in the role that was assigned to them. I also see that every year they reenact Civil War battles in the souteast with hundreds of men in both Union & Confederate uniforms, yet nobody views the poor suckers in the Confederate uniforms as racist slave owners, then again they aren't running for political office. As the very least, never smile while in a Nazi uniform.

No surprise here, we knew that Republicans were closet Facist, at least Lott has the guts to admit it. I wonder if Eric Cantor might re-think his political allegiance?
