Is Heath Shuler against free speech?
As we mentioned earlier, we freaked out when Shuler’s official site intimated that he was a great quarterback, and posted a comment on his blog. The comment was up for a few days, but now, it has been removed. It wasn’t anything TOO obnoxious (just a little obnoxious), but apparently, they prefer the sucking up comments to the ones that provoke a real discussion. We also heard from Matt Seelinger, who said that he also had a comment deleted.
Shuler was always sensitive to criticism when he was on the Redskins, so maybe this is just his nature…

Are you familiar with Charles Taylor and his abysmal record in North Carolina. I recognize that you’re making a joke here and you don’t intend anyone to take you seriously, but there are thousands of people in NC-11 who need to get out from under the behemoth that is Taylor.
Heath Shuler represents an important change from the politics of cronyism, largesse, and corruption that’s dominated around these parts since Chainsaw Charlie gained power.
So…I guess what I’m saying is this: Have fun with your little website, but know that it could have real political implications that might worsen the lives of real people.
We agree that Charles Taylor is not making our work any easier (we’ll address that in a later post), but we’re not doing this for the benefit of the people of the 11th District of NC (we don’t even know anybody there). We’re doing this for the city of Washington and the Redskins. Charles Taylor hasn’t been a negative impact on the town (that we’re aware of) — if fact, we never heard of him before this. He seems like your standard, slightly crooked politician. One more or one less of that type won’t make a difference.
On the other hand, Heath Shuler brings back very painful memories for this city. As we post some personal Shuler recollections from those dark days, you will start to see what we mean.
Seriously. He was REALLY bad. And this is, first and foremost, a Redskins town.
i think Heath Shuler would make a fine congressman.I have personally met him through my cousins husband.He is in real estate. I personally think that you shouldnt judge people until you actually know them…
