What's Nuttier Than Cindy Sheehan?
Answer: the American Land Rights Association (HAT TIP David Kurtz at TPM):
By ambushing Senator Larry Craig, the Minneapolis St Paul Airport Police have effectively declared war on the West. They are primarily responsible for greatly weakening private property rights and Federal land use advocates in the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee and in Congress. We are urging you to make all your flight arrangements avoiding the Minneapolis-St Paul Airport for at least the next year and probably longer. We’ll keep you posted as the boycott develops. Urge your friends, neighbors and fellow workers to try to avoid any flights that take them through Minneapolis St Paul Airport. We must inflict economic pain on the airport authorities to get them to change their behavior. -----And they must apologize to Senator Larry Craig.This is about as stupid as saying that the impeachment proceedings against Bill Clinton were really a "declaration of war" by House Republicans on behalf of Kentucky Fried Chicken against McDonald's in an effort to lower the profits of their rival by distracting McDonald's' best customer with bureaucratic garbage, preventing him from enjoying as frequently the former President's second favorite vice. Good reasons exist to view with skepticism and opposition the criminal case against Craig but a regional airport authority and the cop who arrested Craig were interested in airport toilets, not Western land.
