It would appear that
Minnesota Democrats Exposed, an anonymous blogger whose identity is largely unknown by those on the left and right side of the aisle alike, is
attacked via lawsuit, apparently in an attempt to have his host server out his/her name. The controversy apparently centers around a photo originally posted on IMP that was removed upon request of MDE's web host via Inside Minnesota. Despite MDE's timely removal of the photo in question, IMP has proceeded with a lawsuit. Mayor Doug
has sounded a clarion call for other Minnesota bloggers to come to MDE's side, in supporting MDE with a legal defense fund. The folks at
KAR have also come to MDE's defense, as has
Kevin EckerI am not a legal scholar by any stretch of the imagination, but it is clear to me that the agenda of
Inside Minnesota Politics is unmistakable: that is to stifle debate through jack-booted tactics vs. the natural engagement of debate in the arena of ideas that is the blogosphere.
