Gov. Tim Pawlenty's radio show should be considered an in-kind campaign contribution from WCCO-AM, worth as much as $600,000 a year, according to a complaint issued by the DFL Party Friday.
The charge filed with the Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board alleges that Pawlenty failed to report the show on his 2005 campaign finance report.

Hmmmm, well, it looks like the Minnesota Democrat party is warming up for the 2006 campaign season.
Gov Pawlenty has had this radio show for four years and NOW they decide to file a complaint? What a bunch of f###ing nosebleeds they are.
Opinions or comments - anyone?

The Dems will probably win out. It happened in Seattle last election. A conservative radio program was taken to court by the Dems stating the program should have declared the time as campaign contributions and the court found for the Dems. That's the way I remember it anyway.

Yes, now I remember, it was the I-912 gas tax swindle.

Well, what really zooms the lefties off about this whole thing, is the fact that Tim has a radio show on THEIR radio station, W-DFL.

They said the same thing when Ventura had the same radio show on the same station. Everyone did.

This is why B-1 Bob stopped being a Rush fill-in host.

DFL = Deviants, Freaks, & Losers
So this is their latest stunt to make Gov Pawlenty look bad. Last summer, the DFLs refused to vote for a budget and shut the General Assembly down for a few days. The media blasted PAwlenty for ineffective leadership.
I say we should file a complaint against the Red Star Tribune. We know how "objective" they are.

I suspect all conservative radio shows will get hit with these charges in the 06 or 08 elections. It is one way to get Rush and Hannity et al off the air and the CFR gives the opening. Republicans will find they have cut their own throats again.
