Un-American in Minnesota

Powerline has a great series of posts about questionable behavior in Minnesota politics.
Power Line: A case study

In Minnesota the Democratic Party has undertaken a campaign to suppress two advertisements giving voice to the sentiments of Iraq war veterans and Gold Star Families who support the war. Brian Melendez is the chairman of the Minnesota Democratic Party. This past Thursday Melendez called a press conference and condemned the first of the two advertisements — the one featuring the veterans — as “un-American, untruthful and a lie.”

Power Line: Listen to Col. Stephenson and Judge for Yourself

The Democratic Party has undertaken an organized campaign to drive Col. Stephenson, two fellow servicemen and the families of servicemen who were killed in Iraq off the airways. The Democratic Party has officially pronounced that Col. Stephenson and his ads are “un-American.”

Power Line: The Compleat Democrats’ Disgrace

Minneapolis Star Tribune columnist Nick Coleman has now devoted two hysterical columns to condemnations of the advertisements. Coleman’s first column made a basic error of fact as a result of its reliance on a far-left Web site and cited the testimony of a Kerry delegate to the 2004 Democratic convention as a “nonpartisan” source.

Last time I checked Freedom of Speech wasn’t an un-American idea. These people want to support the troops, so let them. How can you disagree with these commercials. Sure you can disagree with the War on Terrorism, the troops in Iraq and President Bush, but this is people saying what they believe. Trying to suppress these peoples voices, now that is un-American.
