Truly Disgusting Behavior From the Left
Posted by Andy on July 30th, 2007
It is just shameful that the Left in Minnesota would take advantage of the death of Sen. Coleman’s father to score cheap political points.
A few hundred protesters crowded together briefly Sunday afternoon on the sidewalk and in the street in front of U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman’s St. Paul home, shouting for an end to immigration policies and enforcement practices that the demonstrators say unfairly divide families.
The rally — during which participants first gathered at Summit Avenue and North Lexington Parkway and then marched about a mile to Coleman’s house on Osceola Avenue — came a day before today’s burial of Coleman’s father, Norman Coleman Sr., at Arlington National Cemetery. He died Thursday of bladder cancer at 82.Protest organizers discussed whether to change their plans in reaction to the elder Coleman’s death, said Alondra Espejel, with the Minnesota Immigrant Freedom Network.
Seeing parallels in the grief felt by Sen. Coleman and that of children who have had parents deported, organizers decided to go ahead.
This is disgusting behavior. Sen. Coleman and his family are grieving their loss, and these people feel that is a perfect fit for their agenda.
This whole protecting at people’s house thing is a sad turn in public discourse, but this example is shameful.
I wonder if the DFL candidates who (likely) share the views of this crowd have a statement on this shameful act.
