Just saw my first "Russ Darrow for Senator" ad.

[Archae]

This clown must have Bob Kasten's old ad agency working for him!

Darrow comes out, saying "Feingold votes against WI values, against America, and against our president! Vote for the right Russ!" :mad:

What a jerk.

(Herb Kohl is my senator though)

1. A big pic of Russ

2. we had a wonderful Datsun we bought used in SF

I guess most car dealers are repukes.

6. If you think Russ Darrow is RW, you've never met Ernie von Schledorn

I really think EVS is one of those Operation PAPERCLIP chaps, quite a few of them here in Wisconsin, especially in the Milwaukee area.

Darrow is going to lose, Senator Feingold has a promising future ahead imo.

7. Interesting about the Operation Paperclip thing...

I've met, and read about, some former German POWs who've settled in Wisconsin. (I even worked at a Columbus WI business started by one, and operated by his evil daughter...)

The story always was 'they saw how great America was when they were here in the POW camps', and it would be interesting to read more about Operation Paperclip and Wisconsin. Gotta link handy?

Back to the Darrow thing -- that recent poll that had 27% definitely voting against Feingold, now, before campaigning has started in earnest is interesting in that it's effectively a dittohead census. I would have guessed 30-35%, I suppose 27% is somewhat encouraging...

8. There were some 38 POW camps in Wisconsin, google Stalag Wisconsin

Btw, I'm not kidding about EVS possibly being one of those Operation PAPERCLIP folks.

I broke into new car sales working for him in 1985. He claims he was regular German army during WWII. There were many people that I worked with that spoke of him being proud of actually being SS, showing them swastika medals and boasting of being a Nazi.

I was born and raised in Milwaukee, former home of The Bund. In 1974 the NSWPP candidate for mayor got over 6,000 votes. There has always been that element present here in Wisconsin, especially in Milwaukee.

Neo-nazis wanted me to join them when I was a young man, I was quite a street-fighter because of being a musician-lol. I've been an anti-fascist since I was 15, I'm 54 now.

9. Wisenthal makes last push to catch Nazis (5-17-04, Guardian article)

A Nazi hunting Jewish group will launch Operation Last Chance this summer to try to catch the last Nazis before they die of old age.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/germany/article/0,2763,1218337.00.html

As a US citizen under Wisconsin Law and the Constitution of the United States of America I repeat that when I worked for EVS in 1985 (who was supposedly Werhmacht regular German Army) several fellow employees told me that EVS displayed Nazi medals and stated to them that he had been a Nazi.

I would never fabricate nor post this if it wasn't true to the best of my knowledge-how did EVS get to our State?

Operation PAPERCLIP provided identities as Americans and other support to Nazis, their families and relatives, and others -all in the name of "national security" which betrayed what my dad and all US fought against in WWII.

Last week millions of US/Nazi documents were released and many old cases reopened, since EVS fought against Americans during WWII I am still troubled about hearing those stories in 1985, and perhaps someone in a position of authority anywhere in the world prosecuting Nazis could look into this because the US intelligence community has failed US overall due to criminals within it imo.

NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.
