Austria: "Journalists should be hanged, they are like the Jews"


The Austrian news outlet Heute.at reported on Wednesday that Gföhl’s mayor Karl Simlinger expressed fury about asylum applicants who would be lodged in a planned complex. 
“I don’t give a shit about asylum seekers, but the journalists are to be blamed. They should be hanged; they are like the Jews.” 
(...) 
He accused journalists of misreporting events. 
Simlinger said he has to stand by his word. “I never said the word Jews. I only quoted from Duden. Mr. Steindl should be careful because that goes in the direction of defamation.“
