I saw something on this earlier today so I'll post below the critique of the Guardian, just because there are two sides to every story and the Guardian has put a particular slant on it, which seems unwarranted.Originally Posted by DrPatrickBarry
Guardian spin is quite shameless.
"Praised use of Nazi slogan" implies the slogan was used with sympathy with Nazism.
But...
Here is the event in question, in which the "Nazi slogan" is used.

Why did the Guardian not mention that the "Nazi slogan was used" to call somebody else an "undemocratic fascist"?
It's a naked lie by omission. It's a slur.
Bloom called Shulz a Nazi, because in the debate on Ireland's economic crisis, Shulz was bemoaning the failure of plans for a Europe-wide financial transaction tax, which he blamed on the UK in the face of French-German dominance of EU policy.
Shulz wanted economic policy to be determined -- dictated -- by the EU, thus putting it out of the hands of voters.
