MPR REPORTS PHRASES LIKE COLEMAN IS “UGLY AND STUPID” AND “HE’S EATING OUR CHILDREN” APPEARED ON DFL MESSAGE BOARD IN STATE FAIR BOOTH
By Michael B. Brodkorb | August 31, 2007
"At the DFL Party's State Fair booth, Barbara Snow has just added her note to an oversized 'Top Reasons to Dump Norm Coleman' bulletin board.
'My reason was because he's Bush's lap dog. He'll just sign up — whatever Bush says he will do,' says Snow.
There are a few dozen anti-Coleman notes on the bulletin board, with such sentiments as 'Minnesota can do better,' 'He's eating our children,' and 'You can say flip-flop for no reason.'
Snow concedes another note that says Coleman is 'ugly and stupid' is mean-spirited and crosses the line.
Coleman says he's always anticipated a tough re-election campaign, but that he thinks some of the early rhetoric may backfire come November 2008.
'I think that board is a sad reflection of almost all that's wrong in politics today,' says Coleman. 'And I think if my prospective opponents somehow reflect what's on that board, I think Minnesotans will reject them. I don't think that board is very Minnesotan.'" Source: MPR, August 30, 2007

Wait a second.
Calling Coleman “ugly and stupid” is mean-spirited and crosses the line, but claiming he is “eating our children” is okie dokie?
