I've seen a lot of things at parades, but Gary Schiff's sign saying "Good Bye Strom Thurman" was totally without taste or class. I would expect better. The other side of the same sign said "Thank you Supreme Court" The thank you is appropriate, the good bye to the Senator who isn't even buried yet is uncalled for. Polarization doesn't accomplish anything, our elected officials should not be promoting it.
Peter responds: Sometimes polaraization is appropriate. But while I whole-heartedly agree with CM Schiff's sentiments, his sign could very well caues a political backlash comparable to what we saw after Rick Kahn's infamous speech at Paul Wellstone's memorial. Once again, the DFL, so quick to blame the Green party or Republican fear-mongering for its demise, shoots itself in the foot. BTW, is Rick related to Phyllis?------------Peter Schmitz CARAG TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1. Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait. 2.
