Before the PC madness of our times there was Reb Mottele Kuzmirer...

I've got nothing against שלום and getting along with other groups. I pride myself in being everybody's friend. But that shouldn't be at the expense of your principles. You shouldn't allow yourself to be stepped on. And you stand up for your Rebbes if they're being maligned, especially in public forums. This, I believe, is what the Tzaddik Reb Mottele did here. A son of the holy Trisker Maggid he had the the fire of Chassidus burning in him and he wouldn't respect those that speak out against it. May we merit to see the Geulah Sheleimoh immediately, and may these 3 weeks become weeks of ששון ושמחה בב"א.

א גוטען שבת

Misnagdim of old using the Maskilic "המליץ" to knock Chassidim

Seems like the more things change the more they stay the same. המטרה מקדשת את האמצעים. We can align with the Maskilim to bash the common "enemy." Chassidim don't listen to דעת תורה, even if it is the Kovner Rov. Where have we seen all of this before?
