OWENSBORO, Ky. - A Kentucky dad found himself in hot water on social media with what most people would seem to agree is a poor choice of Halloween costume.

Bryant Goldbach dressed himself as a Nazi solder and his school-aged son as Adolf Hitler before going to a Trunk-or-Treat event Thursday evening. The news was first reported by WEHT Eyewitness News.

He later posted a photo of himself on Facebook and the backlash was immediate.

(SNIP)

Screenshots of Goldbach's Facebook page prior to his apology show slogans like "White pride doesn't mean hate," "Being liberal means being a hypocrite," and various stances against social justice issues such as the concept of "white privilege."

Herr Goldbach clearly was not simply trying to portray historical figures. He's in full SS regalia, including death's head on his cover. You just don't whip that up for Halloween.

BTW, if you look at his left lapel, there's a cross.

ETA: He lashed out on Facebook to blame the liberals for being intolerant. Frankly, I think being intolerant of morons glorifying Nazi is a good thing.

And these uniforms are not cheap--like $1000.
