ROWLEY: IT WAS A NAZI UNIFORM
"For one thing, they [Coleen Rowley's campaign] didn't graft Kline's face onto a picture of a Nazi, they photoshopped it onto a picture of a character from a bad 1960's sitcom." Source: The Kline Record
But according to Coleen Rowley, it was a Nazi uniform:
"'I'm going to say that ... it was in bad taste. ... This was a Nazi uniform and I didn't grasp that impact, and I apologize for any bad feeling that he got from that,' she [Coleen Rowley] said in a phone interview." Source: Star Tribune, January 31, 2006
I want to thank the blogger behind The Kline Record for blogging about this subject again. I am sure Rowley's campaign doesn't feel the same way.

Klink is, obviously, NOT A REAL NAZI. That was clearly the point of the quote. When are you going to stop taking quotes out of context and actually, you know, start exposing Minnesota Democrats?
it's true. Rowley compared Kline to a bumbling character from a tv sitcom.
What's sad is that Kline ran behind his uniform immediatly, yet forget those who currently wear that uniform when he voted to cut veteran benefits and to send our troops to war without ALL of the proper material.
Which is worse?
The very real vote of John Kline or the parody of his face on the body of a sitcom character?
A bad 60's sitcom? Dude, how dare you mock the comedy of the great Hogan,Col. Klink and Schultz?
I always liked Colonel Klink...can't say the same for Colonel Kline.
Mr. Brodkorb,
I infer from your final paragraph that you think it was a mistake for a Rowley supporter to mention Col. Klink again. Perhaps you think that it would be wiser for me to ignore the issue no matter how maliciously absurd Kline is in responding to it.
The thing is, I'm not a Rowley supporter who wants to twist all the facts to support her campaign; instead, I belive the facts support Rowley, and that's why I do, too.
The Klink photo was a mistake, but a small one for which Rowley immediately accepted responsibilty and quickly rectified. Kline's fundraising letter was much more malicious, much more personal, and much more sleazy than the Klink photo, and you know Kline is never going to apologize for it.
Which candidate has greater integrity?
In short, I believe the truth about Rowley and Kline --- both good and bad on each side --- supports my candidate. So there's no reason for me to hesitate writing about it. Surely as one who "let(s) the truth speak for itself!", you can appreciate that.
Thanks for the link.
P.S. Thanks to North Star and GOPNightmare for getting my back on this.
