The situation with Taxi 2000 is very unfortunate, and their infighting has done us all a diservice. Dean Zimmerman's framing by the FBI was also unfortunate for PRT; I'm sure it didn't have anything to do with his support for PRT, but more reflected on how strongly the DFL hates the Green Party, and probably the result of his anti-federal-government policies as a city council member.
The DFL hates the Green Party? The DFL got Zimmermann framed?
What a story!!!!
Why haven't the right-wing bloggers picked up on this?

Kendall, this is me trying to help. When are you going to stop stringing together openended questions as though you have no idea of the direction your postings are headed in, and find answers and post those too? Otherwise you're not a reporter (or even a commentator), but a whiner. Or is that Weiner?
Very funny, Mr. Gow.
Of course, my comment was largely speculative, I don't know the details. The charges against Dean Zimmerman are very suspicious, and based on really flimsy evidence, but I shouldn't have implied any particulars, as I don't know any particulars at all.
Of course, it's not that speculative to say that the DFL hates the Green Party, especially in Minneapolis where it would otherwise be a one party city. The way the redistricting was done -- putting two incumbant Democrats against the two incumbant Green Party members -- was an obvious effort to stop the Green Party.
Also, it's probably not right to say Dean was "framed" at all; instead, it would be better to say that the charges against him are absurd and flimsy, the details makes no sense, and it was all just a snow job to hurt him in his reelection campaign. I don't know if that qualifies as being framed, or is just relying on the poor reporting of journalists who would pay no attention to the details of the charges.
Thank you, Ian for responding and making your positon more clear.
I think this deserves its own post.
