It only takes a few to ruin it for the rest and it looks like Gil LeBreton and the editors of McClatchy Newspapers in the USA wants to take the gold for ignorance. My friend passed on an article titled "It was a Canadian party, and Canada sure enjoyed itself". After seeing the title, HELL YEAH! why wouldn't we enjoy ourselves. But then i started reading the article and shortly there after, my blood was starting to boil. Why? This poor excuse for a reporter references our Canadian maple leaf to the Swastika and compared our hosting of the Olympics and displays of national pride to Berlin hosting them in 1936. 
Seriously, WTF?
To compare Canada, of all countries, to the Nazi's is just appalling. As a reporter, you should be able to present the story without needing to compare people to the Nazi's when it comes to celebrating and national pride. This could even appear as hate literature using the Olympics to disguise it. Plus it doesn't say much for the morals of any of the editors that reviewed and allowed this article to be published. With so many "good" stories that were not reported as Gil so eloquently points out, you think this article is good reporting and would make up for it?? And for McClatchy Newspapers, by publishing this story and syndicating it, you and all your syndicates endorse this piece of hate literature. Sorry, but shame on you!
How quickly you forgot all the American flags flying from US houses all the time and supporting your troops overseas. I went down to Seattle a couple months ago and flags were everywhere, without even an event happening. Should i relate then to your flag waving, pride showing fellow country men as Nazis? When you hosted the Atlanta and Utah Olympics, the media coverage of American events was so one sided. Did we complain, maybe. Were you compared to Nazis? doubt it.
