The Savage Republican

Recieved this from a good SavageRepublican -

The Strib Strikes again. Its April 2 Evening addition had the following opinion piece (hat tip http://www.anti-strib.blogspot.com/) does a brilliant job comparing the late Pope John Paul II to the Nazi’s and Communists (http://www.startribune.com/stories/1519/5325736.html). I kid you not – the Pope was no better than the Nazis according to the Strib. I submitted the following letter to the editor, although I doubt it will see the light of day.

What were you thinking? The leader of 1.2 BILLION people dies and your OP-ED board decides to insult them because their leader doesn’t subscribe to your agenda????? I am referring (of course) to your piece on the death of Pope John Paul II. To imply that the Pope was no better than the Nazis or the Communists is repugnant!

This editorial has confirmed why I (among many others) dropped my subscription to your newspaper. The Star Tribune is so hopelessly out of touch with the rest of the world. Until the editorial board finally decides to quit insulting the rest of us, they are going to continue to loose readership.

What will it take to get the editorial board of the Star Tribune to change?
