OPINION - Menachem Z. Rosensaft: A neo-Nazi in the GOP: Where's the outrage from on high?

The following article by World Jewish Congress General Counsel Menachem Z. Rosensaft was first published in the American online newspaper 'Huffington Post'. The views expressed in this article are those of the author.

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.

Jones faces two other opponents in the primary, which means that he could theoretically become the nominee with just 35 percent of the vote.

1. I so hope he gets the Republican nomination.

Then I can officially call them the new Nazi Party.

7. Yes indeed

Yes-let's make it official. He can formally rename Congress 'The Schuttzstaffel' and the Senate 'The Gestappo' and then he can rename the Cabinet the 'Kammlerstab'. Hitler would be overjoyed indeed.......

2. God, he's the Poster Child for the Republican Party

Never mind running for Congress - they should consider him for V.P.!

8. The very Icon of the 'right'

He's the perfect image for today's Republican Party. He embodies all they stand for: Bigotry against people of a different creed, machiavellian control of trade, a stranglehold on the flow of information, summary imprisonment of 'dissenters and seditionists'...
Wait...haven't I heard of all this somewhere before? Where...now let me see..
Oh yes! Nazi Germany!
HAHAHAH!

3. What outrage? He sounds eminently qualified.

6. Oh, is that all?

What's a little Antisemitic Neo-Naziism in the Republican Party? They already have everything from money launderers to child molesters. I'm sure the GOP will welcome him right in with open arms. Unfortunately if people can't see the hypocrisy already present in the GOP the addition of a little bit of Hitler's own won't help them see it either.

10. I love how the GOP is quick to point to us playing the nazi card...

And when an actual NAZI runs they're quite silent on the issue.

[MrSlayer]

12. No, that was a different asshole.

From Ohio I believe. This is a new Nazi.

14. In Lipinski's District, Sir, He Should Do Well In Their Primary....

15. The republican party is on it's way to being a fringe party.
