It seems some in the Minuteman Project (EDIT: Actually, comments to their blog - it was my mistake) have made threats against the government over the immigration issue. Ace in the Hole has the details.
I wonder if Michelle Malkin will be willing to discuss this little escapade... or is this another one of those things that doesn't get talked about?
EDIT: Allow me to add that Ace in the Hole and I probably disagree profoundly on immigration. But he is to be commended for calling out something that was clearly indefensible.
EDIT 2: These were comments made by the posters to the blog. That said, the fact that they were allowed to stand while the moderator argued with the poster, and TexasFred got banned speaks volumes about the moderation of that blog, and none of it very good, in my opinion.

The Minutemen did NOT make threats, the threats were made by posters on the Minuteman National Blog...
Those posts were allowed to stand for several hours as the Moderator argued with the poster instead of taking the posts OFF the site...
PLEASE, get it right...
Not trying to be rude in ANY way, it's just that the ramifications are tremendous...
Thanks, Fred
Fred, you're making a distinction without any difference.
The Minuteman National Blog is run by The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps. The moderator is, therefore, an agent of the MMCDC. As they do pull content and ban posters, they have assumed responsibility for what goes on their site and what gets tossed.
In other words, if the moderator leaves it up after being notified of the problematic content, and bans the guy who notified him, that's an official action of the MMCDC, and their allowing the publication of those statements and removal of complainants is endorsement of the sentiments therein.
