Story on Marines being told to leave gets national coverage…updated….
As participants in the thread below have pointed out, this story first made The Drudge Report then made Fox News. Locally the Blade has coverage on the story as well as our local Fox station that broke the story last night. NBC 24 also has the story online, WTOL has the AP news story on their website and I did not find a link to coverage on WTVG. Fred LeFebvre from WSPD has stated he has talked to the Major and will have more on Monday morning.
I’ll update as needed…
Michelle Malkin has picked up the story…Calling us “Berkeley of the Midwest”.
Little Green Footballs believes the Mayor is one of the “moonbats”.
We’re getting pretty hard hit by the conservative side of the blogosphere on this one…
On the local front, there’s lots of discussion on this one. The most creative title so far for a blog post has to go to Hooda Thunkit with Carleton S. (ShitFerBrains) FINKbeiner = 1, The US Military = 0…, Or Is It?. Maggie’s expressed her outrage over on Thurber’s Thoughts. If you blogged about it on your personal blog let me know and I’ll add you to the links.
Barrett has a new blog post up on his blog, At 10 it’s news, titled, Mayor vs Marines that gives you some behind the scenes information on his coverage tonight.
Go drudge! He always breaks first – sometimes I wonder how he does it, actually…

February 9th, 2008 at 5:02 pmA few days ago Malkin had a column on Townhall.com about Berkley and that incident out there. In that case, the Mayor ended up apologizing to the military. Will Carty end up apologizing too?
February 9th, 2008 at 6:01 pmwhat a bunch of bull hockey. Carty and his puppet Swantz didn’t even have guts enough to be interviewed by the news media. I feel sorry for the citizns of Toledo but on the other hand they elected this idiot in to office

Theres a link on the Drudge home page to submit stories. I know because I used it this morning…..
hehehehehehe
I’m glad this story will get the attention it deserves. I wonder how long before the media realizes Mayor Finkenstein was the same person who suggested moving the deaf out by the airport…..
February 9th, 2008 at 7:03 pmIt’s been posted on some of the conservative sites, which of course it was not the idea of the Mayor to move the deaf out to those homes, it was a letter by a local doctor that the Mayor received.
February 9th, 2008 at 7:09 pmLisa, when this is all over with let me know, we can start blogging normal-wise. ((ducks in the blog bomb shelter))
February 9th, 2008 at 8:03 pmGood to see the mayor’s erratic behavior work to the city’s benefit for once.
Whatever his reasoning this is undoubtedly a good thing for our community, and an example for other communities to follow.

Care to explain WHY untrained reservists are a good idea?
February 9th, 2008 at 9:00 pmLisa, with Drudge linking NBC 24 they are getting bombarded with comments. Perhaps their website count will surpass their lowly television ratings…LOL. They should ditch television newscast and go youtube cast just to be innovative.
