Every now and then, something stupid happens that enables a bunch of crazy conservatives to re-open the eternal debate over First Amendment rights and FCC regulations. A couple years back, it was Janet Jackson's right nipple. Right now, it's Don Imus. And here's an example of the politically incorrect louts they're staunchly rallying against.

A Jewish group is calling for the firing of an outspoken CNN anchor, Lou Dobbs, after he accused advocates for illegal immigrants of using propaganda techniques employed by Nazi Germany. "Comparisons to Nazis — especially in this day and age — are abhorrent," the president and CEO of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, Gideon Aronoff, said in a statement yesterday.

Yes, apparently now we're firing people for making tenuous analogies and having the audacity to actually use the word "Nazi." On purpose. To apply to something other than the Holocaust.

Now for the record, we happen to have had Bar/Bat Mitzvahs instead of (Super) Sweet Sixteens. And, frankly, we couldn't be less offended by Dobbs' remarks.

What does concern us, however, is the growing prevalence of radical minority groups, whose blind devotion to faith has prompted them to accuse Dobbs of hate-mongering and Richard Gere of obscenity and kept 7th Heaven on the air for eleven seasons too long.

Our advice to the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society? Forget all this "Dobbs should be fired" meshugas and calm the fuck down. Seriously. Oh, and until this all blows over?

No matzoh ball soup for you.
