HATE: Press, others perpetuate it

| May 1, 2024 1:00 AM

You asked for thoughts … I think Coeur d’Alene Press has an unhealthy fixation on the Aryans. Give it a rest, it’s been decades now. It seems to be Coeur d’Alene’s claim to fame.

If anything, the constant drumbeat by the Coeur d’Alene Press and others in Coeur d’Alene encourages hoaxes (think Jussie Smallet, Tawnya Brawley, the Duke LaCross Team, etc.) You see Aryans hiding behind every tree. Let’s not jump to conclusions until we get the facts.

The Coeur d’Alene Press and others claim that we should not hate … well, you should read your own editorials, your My Turns, your Letters to the Editor. They spew hate nearly every day.  

Coeur d’Alene has politicians that have made their entire career based on hate (CW is one) and if your “nonprofit” thrives and gets its funding based on hate, then you certainly see hate everywhere … you need it. You hate the KCRCC, you hate Brent Regan, you hate three of the trustees on the NIC board, you hate the newly elected members of the Library Board, etc.

If Coeur d’Alene Press’s and CW’s preferred candidates don’t win, then you spend the next years harassing them and you form your own committee … the North Idaho Republicans (aka: the losers club).

I certainly wouldn’t take election advice from your hateful editorials.
