(Yes, I am dead serious) Was Norm Coleman ever a communist?

[murdoch]

I posted the topic in the general forum, but I wanted to post a link to it on the Minnesota forum as well. May be of interest. I have more information in my search for the answer for this question.

1. well, we know he was a dope-smokin anit-war protester back at Hofstra

There's a picture of him looking every bit the part of a dirty hippy from his days as a student leftie at Hofstra in the late 60's. My guess is he'll pretend to adhere to whatever political ideology that gets him laid most. He's the original hollow man - there is no center to Norm Coleman, he's 100% exterior.

5. Norm Coleperson?

I've never really understood the rumor that during college Senator Coleman's classmates called him "Norm Coleperson." Was he exceedingly rigid in his political correctness?

6. Oh my...that is a picture

Norm looks so stoned!

8. He looks like Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High!

The picture I saw was of Normie siting on a bike, yammering into a blowhorn.

10. I don't know whether he was ever a communist.

But I think it's safe to say he's always been an opportunistic, weaselly douchebag.

12. An old classmate of Normie's

"I attended Hofstra University from 1968-1972. Of course, I knew Norman Coleman, as he was one of the most vocal campus radicals. In the summer of 1970, I bumped into him at the Paradiso club in Amsterdam, which of course was a hotbed of legal drug-dealing (that's why everyone went there.) Hope Norm had a nice trip - I sure did!
"Imagine my shock and horror when I found out that this opportunistic a**hole had been elected Senator from Minnesota on a strong pro-life platform! At first, I thought it must just be someone with the same name, but when I saw his picture, I knew it was indeed Norman Coleman, former student radical. His shoulder-length hair was gone, but otherwise, he looked exactly the same. I remember pacing back and forth in my chiropractor's office, ranting and raving to my husband on my cell phone about this latest affront to everything we believe in.
"No wonder Norm had to move to Minnesota to get elected.His act would not have flown here in New York, where a lot of people knew him back when he was a hippie radical. What a piece of s***!"
