MDE IN THE AMERICAN SPECTATOR: “MDE HAS CLEARLY GOTTEN UNDER FRANKEN’S THIN SKIN”
By Michael B. Brodkorb | February 26, 2008
"Many of Franken's malicious remarks and attention-grabbing gaffes are being reported for Minnesotans to see via blogs and YouTube. While the state's mainstream newspapers have embraced his candidacy, New Media outlets have raised awareness — even wreaked havoc — on Franken's viability as a candidate.
Michael Brodkorb, who operates Minnesota Democrats Exposed (MDE), has meticulously documented Franken's blunders, from his statement that 'Republicans are shameless dicks' to his gay jokes to his tendency to pull out of debates.
MDE has clearly gotten under Franken's thin skin. The comic has personally responded to the muckraking and his campaign has attempted to stop negative material from being posted.
Brodkorb believes that his blog is doing some good through its 'presentation of the jokes that Al Franken has said about Republicans, Independent[s] and any other constituency. [Franken] has said some…over-the-top things and my blog is holding him accountable to that.'" Source: The American Spectator, February 25, 2008

Did the article disclose how much you’re paid to produce MDE, Mikey? How about your other “consulting” fees? How much of those are for blogging?
Oh, that’s right, this is just your “hobby.”

Hey more self-promotion from MDE. Now that’s news!

Whats wrong with being paid Overexposed? Did Dan Blather not get paid for his left wing propaganda on cBS? I suppose all the people at the Red Star are not paid for their work? How about all the money shoveled in to DUh underground by libs?
Not to mention all that Soros money showing up at every commiewannabe rally in the country.

McCain: Change your name, or I will ban you from commenting on MDE. This is your final warning.

Yeah, all this press and “exposure” is really stopping Al’s momentum. I am surprised he hasn’t just quit altogether and moved back to NY.
and is Wade Speaker comparing this site to CBS or even a legitimate news organization? WOW now that is a stretch.
Looking forward to the next scathing article that will leave Al shivering in his boots.
Or maybe Al should stick around, that 20 million dollars being spent to unseat Coleman and his fellow Bush henchmen may help. Wait MDE doesn’t cover ‘real’ news like that, only muck and 1/2 truths.

Yeah Yoni, Minnesota really needs another hollyweird elite to tell us how to live , I’m still trying to figure out how to burn 385 gallons of gas per hour so I can be as concernerd about mother earth as all the other gulfstream libs are.
