For those who advocate a “big tent Republican party” of different views, the tent may be slightly too big in Indiana where a candidate for the 2nd congressional district values not just low taxes and a strong defense but Adolph Hitler. Tony Zirkle has a resume that makes him the perfect candidate from being a top prosecutor to his attendance (for two years) at the Naval Academy. It is just that little Nazi thing that tends to jump out from his resume.
For civil libertarians, Zirkle is well-known in Indiana for his crusade against Internet pornography. A graduate of Georgetown (that is George TOWN not George Washington), he was a popular tough on porn leader. Few people asked exactly what he hated about pornography: he believes it is a Jewish-inspired attack on women. Just in case that was not a sufficient addition to the Republican platform, Zirkle also believes that the races should be segregated into different states.
On April 20th, Zirkle attended a curious photo-op: the 119th birthday celebration for Adolf Hitler. In addition to the over-sized birthcake for the Fuhrer, there was Nazi flags and nazi uniforms galore. Brown shirts optional but BYOS (Bring Your Own Swastka).
Zirkle wants to stop the “the genocide of the white race” of pornography which he calls the “unholy pornocaust.” He traces the greatest threat to white women as black porn stars: “We now have a small army of male black porn stars that are sifting through five, ten, fifteen thousand women. One man can now genocide the wombs of thousands of women.”
Look, I can live with a Nazi running for office, but I cannot abide using use of destruction of the English pursuit in what Zirkle might call the
“verbocaust” of the English language.
Just before you dismiss him as another unhinged wingnut, consider this: he won 30 percent of the vote in the Republican primary in 2006 and was the best known prosecutor in the state. His website, here, features his life story, including his take on the porn mule massacre.
Here another interesting factoid about Heir Zirkle: he was born Jewish (later converting to Christianity): “What most people don’t know about me is that I’m the father of three beautiful Jewish Christian children.” Of course, he know cites a “massive number of Jews” as using porn to destroy America and noted that “most of the early porn stars were Jewish men.”
The fact that Zirkle holds a license and served as a leading prosecutor is an interesting issue. Not long ago, Illinois denied a license to Matthew Hale due to his racist and anti-semitic views, click here. It is a free speech v. good character dilemma for bar associations.

Interesting how people comment with assumptions.
Calm down everyone…not ALL Republicans are Nazi’s! No, quite a few are actually not Party members with Adolf portraits at home.
Yes, there is a sizeable minority of Republicans who are not currently Nazi’s and we should always remember that…
Let’s not stereotype!
mespo,
That’s great!
Bob,
Loved your lyrics the other night!
Michael,
You do have to wonder how he makes his self-interested calculations, let alone understands anything about ethical behavior.
JR,
Good luck!

Seems fitting; seeing how the Bush administration made 9/11 the holiest day in its calendar as Hitler made 9 November the holiest day in the Nazi calendar.

Damn, when I get to GeorgeTOWN in the Fall, I’m going to have the added burden of overcoming this jackass.

This is the story about LSD, right?
Well I guess Mr. Zirkle gives lie to the myth of the smart Jew. We Jews are sadly no more “chosen” for intelligence genes than any other ethnicity and/or religion. Beyond any of his other stupid ideas, his admiration of Hitler shows the least intelligence since Hitler didn’t recognize conversion as letting Jews off the hook from persecution. He and his kids would have been sent to the Camps along with the others who he tries to distance himself from.
I call child molester/rapist. It usually follows such “moralistic” crusaders who are @#$%ed in the head. “that is George TOWN not George Washington” Hahahhahahhahaaaaaaaa…..if you have not already seen this, ATL has an article on this stoner: http://abovethelaw.com/2008/05/lawyer_of_the_day_tony_zirkle.php
Apparently it IS possible to be very smart and talented and be very evil as well.
If Tony Zirkle is the best known prosecutor in Indiana, and received 30% of the Republican vote in the Nation’s heartland, I say we are long overdue for a transplant. Maybe he hates porn as much as say Jimmy Swaggart, and like Swaggart, just keeps it under his car seat to show prostitutes he picks up what to avoid. All hail (heil?) Indiana!
