IT’S A TOWN HALL MEETING, NOT A DEBATE
By Michael B. Brodkorb | March 26, 2007
The peaceniks (my new favorate word) who have been protesting at Kline's office are now whining about his town hall because there is no moderator. In fact, they claim that Kline won't participate in forums hosted by "neutral" moderators.
First and foremost, this is a town hall meeting, not a debate. If Kline asked Jason Lewis to moderate, that's his right — it's a town hall meeting. So the fact they are complaining about this only shows how self-absorbed they truly are.
But to debunk the mindless rants from the left, I revisited Kline's debate schedule last fall.
In addition to debating what's-her-name on KTLK, Kline debated the most unprepared congressional candidate in Minnesota history on Minnesota Public Radio, Twin Cities Public Television's Almanac, WCCO radio's Jack Rice show, and on progressive Alan Miller's Access to Democracy - hardly platforms of the conservative right.
This just once again shows the reality is not in the loony left's lexicon.

I love Jason Lewis.
I wish he’d run for something…like king of the world.

Isn’t this going to be an official Townhall? Meaning, at taxpayer expense? So when the Democratic Party folks show up to politic against Kline, won’t they be in fact campaigning at taxpayer’s expense?
Debates are campaign events, are they not?
Oh, and what’s stopping these pacifists from havin their own debate? I would think the Scare America would gladly give these people as much airtime as they wanted to vent. Heck they give just about anyone willing to be a rabbid peacenick the mics these days.

Hey Michael, can you post something about Amy K’s embarrassing global warming rant? The one where she talks about the children in Minnesota? I can look for an audio link to it.

Love Jason Lewis? Run for something? He better run the heck out of Minnesota before his Nazi ways catch up with him…Why don’t you and Jason elope and move to a red state…like Mississippi. See what it’s like to live in a state that doesn’t invest much in the infrastructure. Air America has new ownership and is running a ‘for profit’ radio station…look out, rednecks– THE SLEEPING GIANT IS WAKING UP! Oh, and Big Eddie is leading Sean Hannity in MN radio…

Here’s your typical wacko…
before his Nazi ways catch up with him
Anyone who doesn’t go along with their brown-shirt ways is a “nazi”. That’s intelligent discussion.
hy don’t you and Jason elope and move to a red state
Tben, of course, make a stupid, childish suggestion.
See what it’s like to live in a state that doesn’t invest much in the infrastructure.
Then an other stupid suggestion. That is, unless a state isn’t taxed to death they’re not “investing” in their infrastructure. Moronic, of course.
Air America has new ownership and is running a ‘for profit’ radio station
It didn’t help the first time and won’t help this time. Liberals hate-radio just isn’t entertaining radio.
THE SLEEPING GIANT IS WAKING UP!
The Soviet Union? The Nazi Empire? You’ll fit right into either of them.

MNbluestategal,
You are a fascist. Why don’t you move to France. You’ll fit right in.

MNblue,
I hate to bring myself down to your level, but since all of your posts end up being name calling with no substance, I have to ask the question. Are you really this stupid, or is it an act?

[...] Brodkorb has a few great posts about how the local George Soros media outlet is up in arms over Rep. John Kline’s upcoming townhall meetings. (1, 2, 3) [...]

Bluegal has to be an act.
She’s trying to get a conservative to take the bait and fire back at her level. Then she can post it elsewhere showing how conservatives are hate filled. Why else would someone use Nazi and redneck and accuse others of hate? Or is she just terminally ironic?
I haven’t figured out her Waking The Sleeping Giant thing yet. Liberal Socialism isn’t sleeping. It is wide awake, spewing hate, misinformation, shortsighted ideas and the virtues of a Marxist system loud and proud on a majority of media outlets. You know, the system that has failed world wide every single time it has been tried, sometimes with the deaths of millions.
She does use the Lib cliché that if you don’t mindlessly throw money at a government program, in this case infrastructure, you’re against it. Words like Effectiveness and Efficiency are not in the Lib vocabulary. But then why would it be when you get someone else to pay?
Please continue to gage the success of your message on the ratings of Air America. I beg you! Someone want to start an AA-off-the-air pool? I have dibs on eight months.
