Both are using Nazis and the Holocaust in an offensive way to further their petty rivalry. The news is that the Blade and the Toledo Free Press hate each other.

Your obsession with exposing the Blade with a "gotcha!" moment is bordering on pathetic. I would love it if you guys replaced the Blade as the daily newspaper in Toledo, but you should start steering toward the high road for credibility's sake. Besides the fact that the word "Nazi" was not used by the Blade as Jeff Simpson is quoted as saying, the comparison was how meetings were broken up, not about murdering people. It was undoubtedly a stupid comparison by the Blade, but as a news outlet that likes to share your opinion as well, I'd think you would agree with the Blade's right to freedom of speech. This "story" reminds me a lot of Marge Schott's comments about Hitler in the 90s that essentially forced her to sell her privately owned baseball team. As an admittedly pro-business paper, would you support a person being forced out of business for making a stupid comment? The only reason you made this a story and called anti-defamation organizations all over the country for comments is because you hate the Blade. I reluctantly have to agree with the Blade's Lessenberry on this one. Just because somebody says the name "Hitler" doesn't mean they're disrespecting Holocaust victims, or Jews, or anybody else. Most people know the Blade has problems. It shows in their rapid readership decline. I'd encourage the Free Press to let them crash and burn on their own. Like Mama always told you, "Don't stoop to their level." I can hardly stomach reading the Blade and thoroughly enjoy the Free Press, but you guys are REALLY pushing it on this one.

One media outlet is criticizing or commenting on another media outlet, over an expression of opinion of an internal squabble in a political party? And then we have commentary, protected and encouraged, by the First Amendment, in the media and other outlets. Where is the news in any of this? Lemme see if I got this correct.

Which party, like the Nazi's , drove citizens away from their homes ( think Toledo's mass exodus ) ? Which party, like the Nazi's NATIONALIZES , key industries for their own wicked designs ? Which party, like the Nazi's, gave swift punishment to those who didn't comply to newly enacted laws doing away with basic civil rights ? ( think PRISON if you don't buy into ObaMao-scare ) Yes indeed, the history classes attended by the writer of this delusional piece of skat, must have attended classes taught by ObaMao's own historical mentor...the cop killer / bank robber / bomber of a Judges home...

This holohoax and nazi thing is being over used. People are finally starting not to care. The Jews have been the cause of most human suffering for the last 5,000 years. The goyim is starting to understand the Jewish tricks....the awakening has begun!! I, for one, am sick and tired of hearing the jews whine endlessly.
