The Cleveland Jewish News may have changed a headline, but the original lives on in the Google.
Not that the content of the story is all that much better for Rob Portman:
Ohio Democratic state legislators have called on Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rob Portman to sever his ties with COAST, a Cincinnati anti-tax group. On its website, COAST (Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending & Taxes) referred to lawmakers in the General Assembly as “Nazis.”
In a press conference Monday, state Reps. Steve Slesnick of Canton, Kenny Yuko of Richmond Heights, Mike Foley of Cleveland, and Ronald Gerberry of Austintown denounced Portman for headlining a COAST fundraiser in Cincinnati that evening.
On its website explaining the rules for political action committees, COAST says, “The Nazis in the State Legislature have created draconian campaign finance reporting laws that make criminals of those who fail to complete their paperwork correctly.” It then suggests that people fill out the required paperwork, no matter how silly.

COAST has also said that restaurant owners have the right to kick out a gay and lesbian couple and that landlords have the right to evict gays from their homes, said Yuko. “There is no room for people with this kind of mentality.”
COAST: simultaneously raising about $15,000 for Portman and taking the Ohio Senate race from zero to Godwin.
