Quiet: MSM at work, part 4 Power Line Yesterday I noted that the Minneapolis Star Tribune had declined to publish Col. Joe Repya's letter condemning Nick Coleman's column of this past Sunday. Today the Star Tribune prints one letter regarding Coleman's column: <<< WAVING 'THE BLOODY SHIRT' GOP does it again For about 30 years after the Civil War, Republicans used a political tactic called "the bloody shirt" -- figuratively waving a bloody shirt that represented the carnage of the Civil War -- in an effort to scare voters into voting for them. They used this tactic brilliantly to remind voters they were the party that would protect them from further mayhem. The absurd ad by the Progress for the American Voter Fund has found a new "bloody shirt" to wave, and its name is 9/11. PETER WOOLLEN, MINNEAPOLIS >>> Woollen doesn't exactly elaborate on how the advertisement "waves the bloody shirt," but it must be by pointing out that we are fighting al Qaeada among others in Iraq. Woollen's letter will apparently stand as the last word in the paper on Coleman's column. powerlineblog.com
