Sigh -- Tough Ground to Run on
Josh Marshall | October 14, 2010, 12:42PM

From Politico, Rich Iott's latest argument ...

*****"Rich Iott doesn't have an anti-Semitic bone in his body," said Parker, who sought to distinguish between a Nazi uniform and an SS uniform, which he said is what Iott is wearing in the now-famous image.

*****The Nazis were Adolf Hitler's party -- and became shorthand for the German military under his rule -- while the SS was an elite squadron of soldiers and law enforcers responsible for a variety of war crimes.

It wasn't a Nazi uniform. It was a uniform of the Nazi paramilitary force!

Next. It was a concentration camp, not a death camp!
