“After 23 years as the Chicago Tribune’s white male conservative standard-bearer, John Kass is about to lose his coveted spot on Page 2 and his status as the newspaper’s “lead columnist.”

Colin McMahon, editor-in-chief of the Tribune, today announced plans to reorganize the paper’s columnists and separate their work from the news section.“

Why you might ask did they do this to him? Well because a verified Nazi who tries to hide under his Jewish roots when convenient didn’t like his article.

“John Kass, the Chicago Tribune’s most prominent columnist, is under fire from his co-workers for invoking what they called an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory involving billionaire George Soros in a column last week.

A letter from the Chicago Tribune Guild, signed by nine members of the executive board, called on the newspaper and Kass to “apologize for his indefensible invocation of the Soros tropes.“

Basically anything ever in history unflattering is a "conspiracy"

After coverage of the Clintons’ whitewater, Tripp, and Lewinsky affairs, the leftist elite went on a mission to rid the media of unfriendly voices.

They have been wildly successful.

Depends on the person involved.

Soros? Conspiracy theory.


Hoover as a drag queen? “Common knowledge.”

Yes they have. Even those who were once deemed friendly met their quick demise.

“The Chicago Tribune, like other quality U.S. newspapers, has long prided itself on being home to a robust marketplace of ideas. Readers engage deeply with the Tribune’s editorials, columns, Op-Eds and letters to the editor, and the Tribune has long accepted that people taking issue with or even offense at the opinions expressed goes with the territory.


Until you call-out the sinister George Soros.

Under the headline “Something grows in the big cities run by Democrats: An overwhelming sense of lawlessness,” the column blamed Soros for spending “millions of dollars to help elect liberal social justice warriors as prosecutors [including Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx], adding: “He remakes the justice system in urban America, flying under the radar.”


This is what they objected to. It's verifiably true.

I've been saying for a while now that all these so-called "conspiracy theories" are virtually all true now.

Saying that a politician or prominent figure is corrupt, is now in the realm of Bigfoot and aliens (appears that's true as well).

So is page 2 of a newspaper supposed to be a big thing? Are newspapers even printed anymore?

Saying Jewish people are pulling the strings and are the "secret power" is considered a Jewish stereotype, which is stupid.

Good question.

It's not anti semitic to say that Soros is doing something he is actually doing.

Wish I felt sorry for him. He knew what type of paper he was working for and continued to work there.

It's only an issue once you get fired, demoted or replaced.

Exactly because stereotypes are based in truth. It's a majority of the like proposition.

Not sure what it means but with all the vile shite you can stay on tigerdroppings I just recently had one of my post removed because I used triple parenthesis around a couple words. I think maybe bankers and something else. I was told to stop using ((())) on the site.

Even a place like tigerdroppings has been touched by the hand.

You either believe in free speech or you don't. If you don't, it begs the question, why?

Personally I see a difference between "Jewish people" and "a Jewish person".
