As the Democratic Party continues its slide into disrepute, there doesn't seem to be any bottom in sight. Here is the latest smear from the Dems: candidate Coleen Rowley has published a despicable slander of my own Congressman and friend, John Kline, depicting him as a Nazi. Click to enlarge:
In a sane world, the pathetic Ms. Rowley would be forced to resign from the race in humiliation. That won't happen, however, as this kind of ridiculous smear is exactly what the Democratic Party is looking for in its candidates. The more outrageous, the better.
Here is Congressman Kline's response to Rowley's smear:
Dear Mrs. Rowley, It has come to my attention that you have placed on your campaign website a doctored photo of me in which my military uniform has been replaced by a Nazi uniform. I demand that you immediately remove from your website that outrageous and disgusting insult to me, my family, and every man and woman who has ever worn a military uniform in defense of our country.No one knows better than I the rough-and-tumble of a political campaign, but we owe it to the voters not to cross the line of civility, respect and common decency. With regard to each of these, you have clearly crossed the line by portraying me as a Nazi.
I demand a personal apology from you, as well as an apology to every veteran.
Your attempts to smear my good name and 25 years of honorable service in the United States Marine Corps by equating me to a Nazi shows a lack of perspective, a lack of seriousness, and a lack of good judgment. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Sincerely,
John Kline
Member of Congress - Minnesota's 2nd District.
Don't hold your breath. Far from being ashamed, my guess is that Rowley's Nazi slur will increase her fundraising from the Democratic faithful.
Even her fellow Democrats are regretting Rowley's candidacy. I've read that they have asked state Senator Sharon Marko to run. Last I read, Marko is considering it.
He is so reelected.
I live in his district. He is so reelected.
I live in his district. He is a really good guy. Use to carry the Nuke football for the President. He will win If I have to personally carry everyone of my neighbors to the polls on my back
Me. Since I live in the Congressional District in question my distate for Rowley will have a much great impact then you love for her. Too bad for you. ;-}
Remember she is one of the MN Democrats who went down to hang out with the banSheehan in her ditch outside the President's Ranch.
I live in the district. IF she is the candidate, all Kline will have to do is run this as an ad the last two weeks of Oct and he will get about 75% of the vote. There are Democrats in this district but they are defiantly Scoop Jackson-Harry Truman Working Class Democrats. They are NOT going to like this slime smear of the US Military.
I see Rowley has stopped listening to the public. Took down the comment section of her web site.
