A billboard of newly elected Republican Sen. Norm Coleman along Interstate Hwy. 94 in St. Paul was defaced with swastika markings and other Nazi references, apparently sometime Wednesday night, according to St. Paul police.

Coleman is Jewish? LOL! I'll bet I'm not the only one who didn't know that. Probably the ones who painted the swastikas and said he was part of the SS (Nazi secret police) are liberals who were calling him a Nazi, and didn't know he is Jewish either.

LOL!

These must be the same ones who planned the Wellstone memorial.

Exactly. As long as they feel he's a Nazi, it's okay to spraypaint it over his face. Heaven forbid they actually know something about the man.

Well, like Tom Dassh*le said some people just aren't satisfied with listening -- they get to emotionally involved....and Garrison Keillor and all his Garrison Keillor wannabes create a very shrill environment where it is just too tempting for a leftist....

Liberals are so tolerant. This is a great way to get the DFL back in the mainstream of Minnesota public opinion. [/sarcasm]

Revenge is best served cold I guess. These idiots will have to eat it cold for at least the next six years.

"Mr. Kahn? Rick Kahn? Yes, this is Detective Nordahl of the St. Paul Police Department. I was wondering if you could tell us where you were this past Wednesday night?

"I see. Alone? You always go to bed right after the Will & Grace rerun at 7 PM? OK, well, thanks. We'll be in touch."
