Tony Zirkle, the anti-pornography crusader who made his name last month when he appeared at a Neo-Nazi birthday celebration for Adolf Hitler, lost his bid for the Republican nomination in Indiana’s 2nd Congressional District:
Tough news last night in the closely watched Republican primary in Indiana’s 2nd Congressional District.
Loop favorite Tony Zirkle, who had lost two primaries to former congressman Chris Chocola– albeit with 30 percent of the vote against incumbent Chocola in 2006 — was soundly defeated.
Zirkle, whose top campaign issue is opposition to pornography and prostitution, finished a distant third behind Goshen, Ind., businessman and GOP establishment candidate Luke Puckett and Culver, Ind., newspaper delivery man Joseph Roush. Puckett won with 48 percent of the vote; Zirkle drew 16 percent.
Frankly, I’m surprised anyone voted for this loon.
