The state Democratic Party chairman said Friday that GOP leaders should denounce a state lawmaker who urged Republicans to disrupt a campaign event by supporters of presidential candidate John Kerry.

In a news release, the DFL Party included an e-mail that Rep. Bill Kuisle had sent to Olmsted County Republicans, urging them to attend an event in Rochester on Friday featuring singer Carole King and the group Minnesota Women for John Kerry.

Kuisle provided the details of the event and said, "If anyone can go and harass it would be appreciated. Bill."

"I call on the Republican Party and the campaign of George W. Bush to reject this negative and hateful kind of politics," DFL Party chairman Mike Erlandson said in the release.

Please email the Pioneer Press or the Star Tribune to say that urging harrassment at a political event is un-American and Bill Kuisle should resign.

tactics and realize that these people are shameless hypocrites???

[Spinzonner]

4. What's the difference between that and 'incitement'

to cause a public disorder ?

[LiberalEsto]

5. Amazing.

They require loyalty oaths just to get into B*sh rallies.
Democrats let everyone in, and they take advantage of that by disrupting and harassing.

F*cking hitlerites.

6. Now the 'Pukes are saying, "Well, the DFL didn't condemn people showing

up to protest Bush..."

10. protesting Bush does not equal harassing Bush supporters

dumbass

[dflprincess]

12. And, DFLers can't get into the Bush events

They can only stand outside and protest. These Repuke disrupters can actually get into Kerry events.

8. All I Can Say Is

if I'm at an event in support of Kerry/Edwards and anyone thinks that they're going to harass me, be prepared to get knocked on your ass!!! The Repubs are sure showing their true colors these days, and not everyone is going to take their b.s.

11. The Republicans have lowered the bar for everyone

We know from the last election that their tactics work. Too bad. Once we get the WH and Congress back maybe we can help restore America's character. In this case the ends are more inportant than the means.

13. How did the event go?
