DFL celebrates diversity of attendees

[Mngeminiguy]

Ah yes, diversity of appearance, but rigidly one minded when it comes to victimhood, abortion and "fairness" in taxation.

[hickorydickorydo ck]

Your call is important to us! A representative will be with you momentarily.

[Maybe]

I have been, and probably will be a life long DFler. To me, that is different than being a modern day Democrat. Todays lefties only court the farmers and the labor vote around election time. If it's any other time of the year, especially during session; these groups can't get an appointment with an urban Democrat at the Capitol. Particularly, Sen. Johnson,Pappas,et.al.

I am not enthused by the direction of my party, with it's who's next in line to run for office, let's pander to politically safe oriented politics, and the we need to win for power rather than making our society better mentality.

The fact that we tout our diversity is a cry for attention so we can feel further advanced on the PC train than others do. It's something we don't need to blow our horns about, Just select the best delegates, and get on with it, What huge egos the party leaders must have.

If Senator Obama were truly for change, he would start within his own party and how the machinery operates. Don't get me wrong, I will probably never vote for a republican, but I am not one who will blindly follow the edicts of the party and spout it's talking points pablum just to further it's ego.

Well , the groups certainly are ones that have been marginazlized by the GOP.In order to claim disenfranchisement, one would have to prove that their personal economic concerns are being ignored. There is no proof that this is happening regarding this group,otherwise all whites would go over to the GOP equivalant instead(if the GOP does have a real equivalant).

How are Asian/Pacific Islanders' "personal economic concerns" ignored in Minnesota? How are homosexual "personal economic concerns" ignored in Minnesota? How are any of the "personal economic concerns" ignored in Minnesota? You brought up the word "proof" here. Do you have some?

Furthermore, why do you lump all "whites" into one group? Even if you do, what "proof" do you have that their economic concerns are not ignored?

I don't think that you are voicing concerns based on the real state of things in Minnesota.

How come any black person votes for democrats when for many years they have embraced Robery Byrd as one of their leaders? As everyone should know, Robert Byrd was a KKK leader for many years. Why would blacks vote for democrats when they tolerate a KKK leader in their party?

Perhaps because Democrats don't run Willie Horton-style political ads or make veiled references to "Chicago welfare queens" while ignoring the fact that corporate welfare and farm subsidies enrich Whites for failure and/or not working.

You may already know this, but most welfare recipients are non-Black (although there is a disproportionately high percentage of Blacks on welfare).

[I Told You So]

Diversity of attendees? Sure! If you could the different weirdos and freeloaders.

[I Told You So]

//if you COUNT the different//

[The Last Word]

This is such fantastic news, let's all go be different together!

[Abbo]

For a public official to insist that the statement, "this is the true face of Minnesota" is a true statement is an insult to the intelligence of the public. Argue in favor of diversity but don't do it by making up facts.

Celebrate diversity!

*CA: Protected immigrant faces charges in stabbing*

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi...

SAN FRANCISCO -- An immigrant suspected of being in the United States illegally - freed after being shielded from possible deportation by San Francisco officials despite committing two gang-related assaults as a juvenile - faces charges that he tried to stab a man to death last year in San Mateo County, authorities say.
The case of Eric Antonio Uc-Cahun, now 19, a native of Mexico, is the second in which a youthful offender protected from deportation in San Francisco has later been arrested for a violent crime as an adult.
The San Mateo County stabbing was especially vicious, authorities said - a top prosecutor said the victim had been "gutted, like you gut a pig."
Uc-Cahun's history of youth offenses in the city was similar to that of Edwin Ramos, a 21-year-old Salvadoran native facing triple-murder charges in connection with the slayings in June of a San Francisco man and two of his sons on an Excelsior district street.
"How many of these people are there who were the beneficiaries of this process?" asked Joseph Russoniello, the U.S. attorney for Northern California, who has been critical of the city's practice of shielding immigrants from deportation.
"This is what happens when the best intentions are misapplied," Russoniello said. "If there was any justification for this program, cases like this certainly undermine that expectation."
Both Uc-Cahun and Ramos were in San Francisco's juvenile justice system at least twice during Mayor Gavin Newsom's time in office, Ramos for an assault and an attempted robbery he committed when he was 17, Uc-Cahun in connection with assaults and other crimes for which he was arrested in 2006.
