History anyone?
Do the schools teach history anymore?
There is a politician running for some office in Eaton County (where I am now a resident) whose last name happens to be Reich. Now, I don’t care about names really. I don’t buy into this whole, “Don’t vote for Barak because his middle name is Hussein” B.S. but this guy is just asking for it. On my way home from work today I saw two of his signs, both of which said in big letters at the top “Make the REICH choice” and I could not help but think…. “The Reich choice? You mean, like the Third Reich choice?” Now, I’m not saying he’s a Nazi or anything but come on… if you’re running for public office why would you promote yourself in such an exploitable way? The only reason for this oversight I could come up with was this… he must not know about that whole World War 2 thing… that or he’s just a moron for approving a campaign based around a slogan that can so clearly be mistaken for Nazi propaganda.
Are our politicians really this stupid?
“Are our politicians really this stupid?”
Duh, you of all people are aware of this.
And he probably knows about world war two, but remember its easy to get women to sign a document banning women’s suffrage. Its not that just women, but that’s an easy example of how stupid the general public is. Also, a last name of Reich isn’t horrible, its not like his name is Hitler, most likely his last name originates from before ww2 and other than the horrible puns its not really a bad name. Plus he’ll probably sweep in the white supremacists demographic!
