Crushing dissent

There's a pretty amazing story brewing in Minnesota, where two television commercials featuring Iraq war veterans and their families have been running. Nothing notable about that, until the state Democrat Party made it their official position that it is "un-American" to support our federal government's position in Iraq, and have begun a campaign of initimidation to attempt to ban that any such expression of support from television or radio airwaves. Power Line has the remarkable and disturbing details.

I doubt this story will get much if any national attention (imagine the top of the fold furor if Republicans attempted to remove Cindy Sheehan from the airways!), but it certainly should from any outlets who at least pretend not to be Democrat cheerleaders. This is a shameful episode and we can only hope that the national party will condemn this embarrassing conduct and shake up the leadership in what is obviously a very broken state party.
