That’s the headline I hope to see from every mainstream media outlet that has uncritically jumped on calling Rich Iott a “Nazi.”

A well-placed source in the Ohio media has just informed Battle ‘10 that Marcy Kaptur actually appointed Rich Iott to serve on the military academy nominating board in 1993. Yes, that’s right, residents of the 9th district–Marcy Kaptur, who claimed to have met Iott just this year, apparently thought he was fit to decide whether your kids could become commissioned officers in the United States military. Yet now she thinks Iott’s historical re-enacting renders him unfit to serve in Congress and questions his status as a soldier.
