“Oh, but TwoPutt: Brodkorb doesn’t own that blog anymore!”
Yeah, “right.”
Until it’s registered to somebody, it’s still Brodkorb’s blog and all the filth and slime that still is on it is simply the continuation of Mud Slinger Mike’s “work.” And this “work” is the stuff that continues to stoke the GOP’s extremist base; the base, for example, that rallied behind candidates such as Tom Emmer, who said: “I don’t think you can call yourself a freedom-loving American and be a Democrat.”
Or, for example, Michele Bachmann, who stated on right wing radio:
“I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back. Thomas Jefferson told us, having a revolution every now and then is a good thing, and the people – we the people – are going to have to fight back hard if we’re not going to lose our country. “
Take a look at the YouTube below the ad Brodkorb’s Blog named the “3rd Best Political Ad of 2010. For a full minute, you have an exceedingly angry former Marine acting like a crazed cowboy; waving a rifle around and then firing a round to land God knows where.
By now, you should have seen the map Palin put on her website, “targeting” Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. It’s now been taken down.
Will Brodkorb take back his gushing plattitudes for Bachmann and Palin, who Brodkorb called the GOP’s “Gold Standard“?
Don’t hold your breath.
Then again, maybe you won’t have to; some GOPer with a gun just might take your breath away.
It’s been said if you’re not a part of the solution you’re part of the problem.
Brodkorb, Brodkorb’s Blog, and Brodkorb’s “Gold Standard” mentality are the epitome of the problem.
That YouTube ”featured” on Brodkorb’s Blog’s “3rd best ad” is below the fold.
I think the comments about this ad which were posted on MDE without rebuttal from the host say a lot about the de-humanizing and personal attacks that push the mentally unstable to commit murder or acts of violence. Here are some examples from this one post:
“Ayatollah Obama continues his quest to prostrate America before the arab world by sending an ambassador to Syria. Bush withdrew our ambassador because of Syria’s consistent support for Islamofascist terrorists.
Since Ayatollah Obama has no problem with Islamofascist terrorism (due to his belief that Israel and America are the focus of evil in the world), it is natural that he act on those beliefs.”
“These union scumbags don’t give a damn. They are selfish pigs”
“Did you see Hillary (The Beast) the other day? Good grief. She is one ugly sow.”
“I’ll bet Phyllis Kahn looks under her bed every night to make sure Dale Peterson isn’t waiting for her there.”
“Is Phyllis Kahn still alive?
That woman has looked like a walking corpse for the last 40 yrs. Sheesh”
“Phyllis Kahn and Helen Thomas should have a contest for the ugliest old hag in politics.”
If this isn’t hate speech and personal attacks, I don’t know what is.
Look at this, from back in the day when Brodkorb actually did his own posts (rather than ghostwriting them as I’d bet he does now):
And yes, it’s hate speech, and yes, it’s personal attacks.
And I call Brodkorb “MudSlinger Mike” for the old-fashioned reason: he’s earned it.
