Support - Great piece on

Support - Great piece on Fraters Libertas this morning on the DFL Caucus' attempt to play both sides of the fence.

The Fraters note that the MN House DFL caucus is pushing a "Support the Troops" resolution that says all the right things - except, of course, support for the liberation of Iraq, but we digress.

The Fraters pick up the story, with a series of photos of MN House Minority Leader Matt Entenza at last weekend's "anti-war" rally at Macalester:

I suppose these images aren't 100% damning, in that Entenza's not pictured lighting up Old Glory with the business end of a spliff or something. However, it is entirely damning by association. As shown below, the anti-war rally at Macalester on Saturday was nothing but an attack on the Bush Administration, the armed forces and the good old US of A.

And who was there in attendance? Smiling, laughing it up, glad-handing like it was the happiest day of his life? None other than Matt Entenza. That is, he was smiling until the paparazzi arrived, at which point he was hustled away by his handlers, as if he had something to be ashamed of.

People holding signs proclaiming Bush is the butcher of Baghdad, Bush is the real terrorist, Bush is a Nazi lunatic. And Matt Entenza is fraternizing and celebrating with them?!

Slandering the Commander-in-Chief? Eroding popular support for the perilous mission assigned to our brave soldiers? Is this what you mean, Matt Entenza by doing "everything possible to support the troops"? Well, Matt, is it!?

The DFL leadership's disingenuity is astounding - but not in the "unexpected" sense of that term.
