ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTVA-CBS 11 News) Republican US Senate candidate Joe Miller's security team detained online newsmagazine Alaska Dispatch editor and co-owner Tony Hopfinger at a town hall meeting Sunday, after Hopfinger approached Miller with questions about his Fairbanks North Star Borough employment.

After inviting the public on his website and Facebook pages, about one hundred people showed up to Miller's meeting at Central Middle School. Immediately after the meeting ended, Miller left without taking any media questions.

On Monday Miller held a press conference saying he would no longer answer questions about his personal life.

2. Quite obvious Miller has something to hide.
And willing to use Gestapo tactics.

3. Yah, well, he should "man up" and face the music.
What's up with the right wing using this meme constantly right now. Was there a Rovian Memo?
