Mike Hendricks and Francis Semler

Comment post to article appearing in KC Star by Mike Hendricks. article appears at http://primebuzz.kcstar.com/?q=node/7688#comment-3257

Why is it that when Mayor Funkhouser refuses to yield, it is called a "principled stand" but when La Raza refuses to yield, it is called "blackmail"? Isn't La Raza's position just as "principled" as the Mayor's? After all, why should they do business with an administration that is so indifferent to their concerns? Exactly what "principle" is the Mayor standing by anyway? Apparently, it is the principle of loyalty to someone whose main qualification for her appointed post appears to be that she was a major contributor to his mayoral campaign? I'll respect La Raza's principles any day over that.
