DFL BLOGGER HIDES IDENTITY FROM KENNEDY CAMPAIGN WEB VENDOR, SEEKS INFORMATION ON SECURITY FEATURES OF WEBSITE #2

By Michael B. Brodkorb | September 22, 2006

Andy Aplikowski of Kennedy vs. The Machine wrote this gem:

"But this seems to be the new political operation of the DFL and their bloggers. Smear and intimidate the opposition. We’ve seen these tactics in other places and during other races." Source: Kennedy vs. The Machine

Jeff Fecke of Moderate Left posted this comment on Minnesota Democrats Exposed: 

"Tread lightly, mister. If you want to dance, we’ll dance, but if you're seriously trying to say Patrick is being 'unethical' by pursuing a story…well, you’re going to be opening yourself up to a world of hurt."

A "world of hurt"?  Don't threaten me. Ever.

    none of this is a threat to the future of western civilization. let’s all take a breath.

    Hey, maybe we can all come together in peace and harmony to celebrate the fact that today is Bilbo Baggins’ birthday!

    The main thing that’s going to kill this story is that Noah Kunin and Amy Klobuchar can, and will, slow-walk this out past 45 days to when Amy is a US-Senator-elect (so the polls say.) After that, it doesn’t really matter any more. On to spying on bigger Republican fish.

    It never ceases to amaze me how quickly liberals will turn to threats of physical harm. Of course none of them to be taken very seriously as I have yet to meet a tough liberal. Granted, they are destructive little buggers as they have no problem with vandalism, but actual fighting is not a place they can excel.
    One must remember politics is a liberal’s religion, they take it very seriously when they feel they may lose a race and will stop at nothing to get the power they need and want.

    Just want to set the record for Jeff.

    If you need a dancing partner big fella, you can come look me up anytime. :)

    This whole thing has become bad daytime television.

    The site that access was gained too was Scott Howell’s’, not Mark Kennedy’s. A fifth grader can tell you that. It is a ploy for campaign cash.

    The fact that Amy reported it to the FBI shows her charter and high ethics. She didn’t have to do report anything and nobody would have ever known. She could have used this info through the remainder of the campaign cycle to her advantage. Instead she did the right thing and notified authorities.

    And she gets attacked for it???

    I KNEW part #2 would come! I only hope Michael posts #3 and #4 soon! Perhaps a photo of a clock as he waits for that Liberal Blogger to get home from class to answer him! Then a photo of his computer screen while he looks for the comment!

    How about some chatter on immigration, tax cuts to spur economic activity, staying the course. Let’s get back to the things that matter.

    Oh my God, this is hilarious. It’s like watching a really, really dumb bar fight in slow motion. I’m making a bipartisan call for an end to the machismo. All hail the wise words of Episcocat above.

    “Don’t threaten me. Ever.”-Michael

    Is that a threat? Just wondering.

    “Don’t threaten me. Ever.”-Michael

    Don’t you realize that this too is a threat? Or is this just your attempt at humor. I can’t tell.

    In the middle of the earth in the land of the Shire lives a brave little hobbit whom we all admire. With his long wooden pipe,
    fuzzy, woolly toes, he lives in a hobbit-hole and everybody knows him

    Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
    He’s only three feet tall
    Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
    The bravest little hobbit of them all

    Now hobbits are a peace-lovin’ folks you know
    They don’t like to hurry and they take things slow They don’t like to travel away from home
    They just want to eat and be left alone
    But one day Bilbo was asked to go
    on a big adventure to the caves below,
    to help some dwarves get back their gold
    that was stolen by a dragon in the days of old.

    Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
    He’s only three feet tall
    Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
    The bravest little hobbit of them all

    Well he fought with the goblins!
    He battled a troll!!
    He riddled with Gollum!!!
    A magic ring he stole!!!!
    He was chased by wolves!!!!!
    Lost in the forest!!!!!!
    Escaped in a barrel from the elf-king’s halls!!!!!!!

    Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
    The bravest little hobbit of them all

    Now he’s back in his hole in the land of the Shire, that brave little hobbit whom we all admire, just a-sittin’ on a treasure of silver and gold a-puffin’ on his pipe in his hobbit-hole.

    Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
    He’s only three feet tall
    Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
    The bravest little hobbit of them all

    These posts are great reasons why more women should be in office. We don’t go threatening each other, we try to work it out and do the right thing. Amy did the right thing, but Noah and Tara didn’t and that is the point. End of discussion.

    And something tells me Noah will, if not legally, pay for this terrible lapse in judgment. His political he has lost alot of credibility. And Tara lost a very high profile job that will probably cost her an even better job on Capital hill.

    And I have met both Jeff and Michael, I’m sorry to say, but I don’t think either of you are in any condition or shape for a fight…kidding. Ok mayb not so much kidding.

    I say that this is a wonderful debate and harkens back to the time when Congressmen would physically beat each other in the houses of congress. ahhh the good ol’ days.

    I should point out that in the last few days when everyone was losing there heads and yelling outrageous and (quite frankly) stupid things at each other (this came from both sides mind you). Jeff was continually a rational voice. Trying to steer the conversation back to the issues of the election.

    Also for the record, I totally have his back.

    Dude, you sit at a computer all day. So before you go all hyper-masculine on us, please realize that you’re not tough.

    I don’t resort to violence–ever. Violence is the last refuge of idiots.

    Despite his latest words on the subject, Feckless Jeff sure sounded violent in his original comment. Of course as Bobby Kennedy said: “Nobody hates like a liberal.”

  24. Brian Hanna Says:

    Sure he said that, Jack. Just source the quote, and I’ll believe you.
