(R) Councilman Raises Controversy With Nazi-Style Salute
Crying about being "muzzled"


LAWRENCE, Ind. -- A city councilman stirred controversy with a Nazi-style salute in protest of the end of a meeting Wednesday night.

Councilman R. Douglas Reeser, upset at the end of a special council meeting, expressed his displeasure after he and two other Republicans were outvoted on some measures that would have essentially done away with a lawsuit that Lawrence Mayor Deborah Cantwell has against the council.

Reeser and other opponents of the measure were upset because they felt they didn't get a chance to speak to their point of view.

2. You know, most of us are for free speech under the First Amendment
and all, but a Nazi salute to express objection to a governing process is, well, impolitic.

But then again, this guy was a Republican, so....

10. remember how Dr Strangelove has to keep forcing his arm down???
the Nazi salute is automatic for him, but he has to pretend he's no longer a Nazi
