    Nazis Get Their Own Lobbyist

    On Tuesday...the actual American Nazi Party was making its move onto the Hill. One John Bowles registered with the Clerk of the House that day as a lobbyist for for the white supremacist group (hat tip LegiStorm). Bowles was the National Socialist Movement's presidential nominee in 2008.
    Bowles seemed genuinely puzzled when I asked him whether he really thinks that any members of Congress or Hill staffers would take a meeting with a Nazi lobbyist. "I don't see why not," he says, adding that he knows lobbyists rely on their credibility.

    Say what you will about the tenets of national socialism, but at least it's an ethos.

    Wow. John Bowles brings the best crazy parts of both parties together into one big mashup of a political platform. It's really amazing when you think about it. He may be the one guy in Washington, that we can ALL hate together.

    Based on comments (on the internet in general not HM specifically) spurred by the Zimmerman/Trayvon thing it seems they might have a closet following.

    You should start a PAC for that.
