Shame

Yesterday, I called on Trillin, Chairperson Melendez, and the Mark Dayton-wannabes to repudiate Sen. Robert “KKK” Byrd’s comments he made about inner cities. Rather than admonish one of their own, these DFLers chose to silently support Byrd’s comments by not challenging him.

Now, as far as Melendez goes, I’m not surpised, as they are both mouth pieces for all Democrats in and around Minnesota. I am appalled by the lack of leadership on the part of Amy Klobuchar, newcomer Ford Bell, Kelly Doran and Patty Wetterling. Surely, if these individuals want to belong to the world’s second most exclusive club (the first being MN Left and Right), they need to stand up for what is right and fight against what is wrong. Your average, hard working Minnesotans won’t stand for this insensitivity from their US Senate candidates.

UPDATE: For those keeping score, only Trillin expressed any sort of outrage.
