           Richard Iott, the Republican Congressional candidate from Ohio has found himself in what most political candidates would consider a no-win situation with less than one month to go until the election.  It turns out that Iott, the all-American family man that he depicts himself as on his website has an unusual hobby of dressing up like a member of the 5th SS Wiking Panzer Division, a unit in the German army during World War II.  This Nazi group that he and his buddies took pleasure in mimicking has made him toxic enough to be eliminated from the “Young Guns” website headed by Reps Eric Cantor, Kevin McCarthy, and Paul Ryan.  Eric Cantor even went so far as to repudiate Iott and his affinity for Nazis on Fox News Sunday, once he was pressed to do so by Rep Wasserman-Shultz.

              Former President Jimmy Carter sparked a few extra flames in the bellies of many Conservatives when he cited racism as a driving force behind much of the opposition to President Obama’s proposed policies.  Rep Hank Johnson specifically referred to South Carolina Rep Joe Wilson’s infamous “liar” outburst toward the President on the House floor as racist enough to give the KKK enough confidence to openly intimidate the way they did in the past.  With a renewed hatred for an always despised opponent in President Carter, Conservatives all over are pushing back on the controversial statements with claims that Democrats are doing nothing more than playing the race card.

             Just one week after the fallout over a NY Post cartoon depicting a police officer shooting and killing a chimpanzee while the other cop wondered who would write the next stimulus bill, the Washington Post released an apology for an upcoming article to appear in the Washington Post Magazine.  That’s right, while the county debated over whether or not Rupert Murdock’s Post was spewing racist monkey business, the WaPost nibbled their nails down until finally cracking with this outburst of remorse. 

“The headline, illustration, and text of 'Below the Beltway,' a column in The Washington Post Magazine today, may cause offense to readers. The magazine was printed before a widely publicized incident last week in which a chimpanzee attacked and badly mauled a woman in Stamford, Conn. In addition, the image and text inadvertently may conjure racial stereotypes that The Post does not countenance. We regret the lapse.”
