To me one of the greatest stories ever

Missouri road renamed to “Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel Memorial Highway.”

By SF SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) A Missouri road adopted by a neo-Nazi group under the state’s litter cleanup program has been renamed for a rabbi who narrowly escaped Nazi Germany in World War II.
Gov. Jay Nixon on Wednesday signed a bill naming the half-mile stretch of U.S. 160 in Springfield the “Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel Memorial Highway.”

But Heschel’s daughter says her late father wouldn’t have felt honored by the move. Susannah Heschel, a professor of Jewish history at Dartmouth College, also said she’s worried future generations will think her father condoned Nazi beliefs.
A leader of the Springfield Unit of the National Socialist Movement said Wednesday that renaming the highway “is silly” and shouldn’t have been done.

And while I completely understand his daughters sentiments I have to disagree with her request.

What better way to teach these scum a lesson then making them look after this highway !

I agree Grumpy. In this country people are free to think and say what they like, even if we don't like it. But we're free to tell them what we think about it too. And that kind of seems like what's happening here.

I agree those assclowns have every right to speak their peace, but sometimes you just would love to tell 'em to just STFU...Get awful tired of ALWAYS having to let the "Peanut Gallery" have their say...The Rabbi was a brave Man of God, & deserves to be honored, they should show respect & keep their yaps SHUT.

I can't understand how any sumbitch would want to be a NAZI.

Of course, people do a lot of things that I'll never understand.

I always say that about people who use meth. Who looks at a meth addict and says "I got to try some of that!"
