A Neo-Nazi in the GOP: Where's the Outrage From On High? (shocked)

I guess this has been posted but I am very shocked at this!

Arthur Jones, a neo-Nazi, outspoken anti-Semite and Holocaust denier, wants to be a Republican congressman from the Land of Lincoln.

This is neither a joke nor an exaggeration. The 64-year-old Jones, who organizes "family friendly" celebrations of Adolf Hitler's birthday and maintains that "the Holocaust never happened," actually is a candidate in this year's Republican primary in Illinois's 3rd Congressional District.

The state GOP has disavowed this guy, who's apparently been a local gadfly/asshole for years. There have been cases in the past of neo-Nazis running in Democratic primaries (actually one quite recently, IIRC). There's no way of stopping this shit.
