How ironic that Frank Sweeney’s chief cheerleader Dan Weinberg writes that, “Divisive, disrespectful and inaccurate information about opponents have no place in our community.” (Whitefish Pilot, July 20)

Last year Mr. Weinberg bought a newspaper advertisement that suggested I was a “hate-based extremist.” He compared me to Adolph Hitler, and featured pictures of both me and Hitler. Mr. Weinberg’s ad was so outrageous and sleazy that the Daily Inter Lake refused to run it. The Flathead Beacon ran the half page ad.

Certainly Mr. Weinberg’s ad was “divisive, disrespectful and inaccurate.”

We can’t expect Mr. Weinberg to condemn his own shameful Hitler ad. His hypocrisy knows no bounds.

But what about you, Frank?
