His vote against the Iraqi resolution was...

A talking head on CNN fawningly called this "courageous"...

[Mudboy Slim]

"pied piper of modern politics"

My prayers go out to Senator Wellstone and his family and the families of his associates'...however, gimme a friggin' break!! Looks like the RAT Medyuh's committed to making this dude into the next Dead Kennedy...MUD

Warning: this AP reporter is notoriously inaccurate and mistaken, as well as biased (I know that goes without saying, but I felt I had to remind everyone). I wouldn't take anything he writes at face value.

known among his friends as a ``pied piper of modern politics,''

To the rest of us, he was a "traitor to the Constitution and a threat to the welfare of his fellow citizens".

This is a horrible tragedy. My condolences..

Now lets go vote in some judges while we have the chance....

[TBP]

Like everyone, my prayers go out to Sen. Wellstone's family, friends, and staff. This is a great loss for them, and that transcends politics.

I disagreed with Senator Wellstone on just about every issue, but he was a liberal who really believed in what he was doing and stood for his principles and fought for them. I'd like to see more people like this on both sides.

At least he never hid that he was a socialist liberal like most all the RATS do but his death is leaving me with a degree of suspicion. Ron Brown, John jr, Carnahan, a coincidence ?

My comment on Paul Wellstoned on another thread has already been pulled. But this article tells you all you need to know about how great a "tragedy" his untimely death was. He was a socialist, a liar, and an enemy of freedom.

[Mr. Mojo]

In 1996, he [Wellstone] angered gay rights supporters by voting for the "Defense of Marriage" bill, which allowed states to withhold legal recognition of same-sex unions from other states.

On this sad day, I choose to point out the [political] good in Senator Wellstone. He evidently did vote his conscience, and didn't always follow the DNC party line.

But next week, watch out ;)

[jackbill]

First, let me say that I really feel sorry for people like Wellstone, his family, the staffers and the crew. I feel that way when anyone is stricken "before their time".

However, I have had a belly full of the crap that both sides of the aisle are spouting on TV. Can you imagine these pimps saying the same thing if it had been Tom DeLay or Trent Lott on that aircraft? I don't think so.

Just a bunch of damned hypocrites.

On this particular day, I choose to point out the [political] good in Senator Wellstone. If the above is any indication, he did vote his conscience, and didn't always follow the DNC party line.

[WyCoKsRepublican]

May God Bless the Wellstone family. The business of this nation must go on and it will.

[wai-ming]

Wasn't the "Pied Piper" the guy who led the rats out of town, and then when the townsfolk didn't pay him, led away their children?

This is not how I would want to be remembered if I were him.

[Koblenz]

Here's what I know about Wellstone: we heard first reports of his death at about 2:00 PM EDT. Check out this stock chart:

Yeah, Democrats are great for the Stock Market.

******** TWO FOR TWO *********

Is it true, as the Drudge Report is headlining, that Mondale may take Wellstones Seat?

Odd how the now deceased-Wellstone was in a losing race..

The New Jersey Ballot-Switch was questionable because the candidate hadn't died...yet the Democrats were successful in replacing a losing candidate with a more Probable WIN!

And NOW, add another losing-Democrat to the heap, except this one is dead!

If this is really happening...that the Democrats are replacing LOSING candidate with more WINNING ones...

Then Presidential-Hopeful Hillary Rodham is more BEAST than even we suspect she is!

Watch Out America...LIBERTY is on the edge, EVIL is on the Prowl..and VICTORY will be HERS!

{whether we vote for it or not!)

[RandallFlagg]

Well, DU has links over there to these FR threads already.

[agrandis]

I find it a wee bit suspicious that Democratic Senatoial candidates who aer behind in close and key races so often die in fiery plane crashes right before the election. Wellstone, a dead man, will win this election, just like Carnahan.

Remember, the Mob has been known to kill people by sabotage of aircraft, and the Arkansas Mafia seems to have an obsession for it.
