Commentators call the episode a sign of how far political culture in Germany has sunk, faulting the CDU and CSU for reading a well-known non-partisan figure as too left-leaning.
Why now: A dispute over the rejection of a beloved, politically neutral entertainer on anti-fascism grounds has struck a nerve in the German debate about the CDU/CSU's course.
