Nazi chic?

This image dumbfounds me every time I go into Books-a-Million and see the book sitting there on their "best seller" pile.
Why would anyone dress up like a Nazi? Why would people buy a book written (supposedly) by someone who dresses up like a Nazi?
I don't get how it is that people find this acceptable. Am I just old and a remnant of a generation that was raised by people who sacrificed dearly in a war against Nazis?

I'm more appalled by the content of the book personally. Of course after seeing the cover of the book I have to wonder if he is referring to the people that buy his book as the people with small minds. That could be the only plausible explanation. Actually I think the cover fits the book well. Why not advertise up front what your selling? At least it is authentic in that regard.

I agree the cover fits the book well. It's not a Nazi uniform, it's an old East German border guard uniform. Teabaggers always remind me more of old-school commies who used to wave red flags, wear Lenin buttons and praise the glories of the system before lining up 2 hours to buy a loaf of bread. The old Soviet bloc operated on denial of reality, just like American conservatives.
