Shot In The Dark: Official Bias?

Official Bias?

The MN Democrat Exposer - a man who's eaten the MN DFL's lunch more times than they'd care to remember - not only notes that the University of Minnesota's Humphrey Center is having Bill Clinton in to speak as part of their Carlson lecture series - no biggie - but that there's a bit of a pattern in their previous speakers:

...you have to go all the way back to 1988 to find a conservative on the list (Bill Buckley), and prior to that the series was pretty balanced. Since then, it has taken a sharp left turn.

It was about 1988 that the Institute seemed to take on the mission of being a liberal institution.

Speaking of MDE, I followed this link on Bogus Gold: (http://www.bogusgold.com/posts/1129002537.shtml)

to this link on Kool Aid Report (http://koolaidreport.blogspot.com/2005/06/attention.html)

Read the first letter of each line.

Truth or...?

Whatever significance for anyone in the whole wide world can the Humphrey Institute's speaker selection have? Conservatives must finally quit fretting about the Humphrey or about Nick Coleman (Nick Coleman! for God's sake). This is really beneath you. How about some upbeat, positive suggestions instead of this continual whining about what he said or they said or maybe somebody is a liberal or a leftist or a tax freak. Who cares? Can Conservatives be afraid of these people?
