According to your post #28, my post #29, and now your post #30, the worth/clean-up appear to be of considerable expense.

Is this the Mudhens vs the Mudhens or what?

People in the MINNESOTA MIDDLE Might be better off with MIKE [Ciresi].

If you cited “fact” then one could make a judgment as to whether the facts are true. You post opinion. And your opinion ain’t worth shit.

I’ve actually got a pretty fair rep here for destroying liberal arguments with facts… a few of yours included.

Don’t you have some anti-Semitic rally to plan? I mean, Hammas really needs your support right now. They want you to volunteer some more time for Obama.

way to prove HCDFL’s point, you probably didn’t read past the first line, but he pretty much called you out, and your next response just backed up his claim.

now that is priceless…..

The clean up is done in motorized carts; there is no walking.

Most candidates, and their workers do not perform horse clean-up [manure] duty in parades.

In the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul it could be a position under a contract that is bargained collectively.

Cleaning up after the mounted patrol doesn’t really constitute “walking in parades.” Though, it will give you a pretty good view of the brains of the DFL leadership.

I think that FrankenFrenchToast sounds a tad classier.

ColemanCrepes sounds tad classier than ColemanCornstarch.

That’ll do Sheeple that’ll do

And Michael is confused why he was asked to leave.

Seems to me the desperation of the repubicants to harass Al Franken every moment he is out of his home proves that Norm has every intention to let Michael do all the talking this fall, as he tries to avoid the public where he may be asked to *GASP* defend his record as Senator.

Also stalking is not writing things critical of a politician, and attending events where that politician might be. If that was the case, you could say that Michael Brodkorb “stalks” Al Franken. That’s not the case. Brodkorb reports on Al Franken, and spins things negatively. And he’s good at it. I – and others at Dump Bachmann have done similar with Michele Bachmann.

Al Qaeda hasn’t damaged us to the degree George W. Bush, Norm Coleman and the Republican leaders in Congress have damaged us.

John McCain as Republican nominee offers more of the same in the form of George W. Bush’s third term. How do you think that’s going to work out for him? He may as well use “Heckuva Job, Bushie” as his campaign

How do you get all of those independent/moderate/undecided voters into your refridgerator box condo to sniff out Republican hatred on the web with you?

Do you put out a little trail of M&M’s to lure them in close then throw a blanket over them and drag them in?

I’m sure you’ve got a fascinating story line floating around in that perfect vacuum you call a brain pan…do share, won’t you?

Perhaps too much listening to the American alternative rock band, 3eb (Third Eye Blind) for you – while you’re sitting at “the kitchen table in his tranquil suburban neighborhood,…”

Keep up the good work.
That’ll do Sheeple that’ll do

Ken Weiner is the exact goof that came to my mind when this issue arose.

If you decide to have an open door policy, you’re going to have to admit burned out sewer dwellers like Weiner and obsessed stalkers like Eva and her DumpsterDivers.

If you decide to draw limits on just how low you’re willing to lower the bar, you’re going to be criticized any way you cut it.

Political party functions are private affairs that are open to the public, at the discretion of the party.

Considering the mentally deranged, often violent mob of losers and reprobates that populate the ranks of today’s left, using that discretion liberally doesn’t signal secrecy or deception, it signals good sense.

Ken “Avidor” Weiner will be so disappointed!

Eva, you are really a big fat idiot. Since the MSM you mentioned has shown they regulary slime the repubs, by your own logic, they should be banned from the Republican Party proceedings.

EY: Actually this whole “liberal media” canard is way overblown. Al Franken gets mostly bad press from the mainstream media. He only gets good press from liberal opinion media/blog like Minnesota Monitor.

Cash:
You are a typical anti-conservative, Christian-hater, who can take bigotry back to your hate Bachmann site.

EY: Disagreeing with Michele Bachmann does not translate into “Christian-hater”. I don’t like theocrats – of any variety – muslim theocrats, christian theocrats – any theocrats. From Michele Bachmann’s record and statements, I do consider her a theocrat. I happen to think Bachmann’s creationism pushing, anti-gay obsessed version of christianity isn’t mainstream. The Dump Bachmann blog has documented Michele Bachmann’s speeches, media appearances, and antics (such as when she laid a liplock on President Bush during the State of the Union – totally against protocol.)

I’m curious Cash – what you think of Mac Hammond’s “Prosperity Gospel” – how is any of that Christian? During holy week, we checked out the Living Word Christian Center site – any typical holy week activitities – Maundy Thursday for example – no, but Mac Hammond was giving a speech about increasing wealth. How is this spreading the gospel?

Flounder, if you’re out there, don’t worry. You are the champion of the irrelevant loonies who visit MDE. You are a champion, and nobody can ever take that away from you.

If anyone portrayed gays with the same supposed “satire” she uses on Bachmann and christianity, she would be screaming bloody murder.

DFL CD2 Secretary Jane Miles says the Republican tracker did not register at the sign in table (as is required of all people attending the convention). If he had registered, (in this case as media) he would have been allowed to video tape.

The Republican tracker has been following Al Franken and taping his appearances for some time. The Al Franken campaign knows the individual and actually had no problem with him taping.

The DFL’s Sergeant At Arms warned the Republican tracker the first time he pulled out a video camera and attempted to tape, and then asked him to leave when he started taping a second time. The Republican tracker was later allowed back into the convention and was told he could text message, blog, etc. but could not video tape. Miles said if the Republican tracker wanted to video tape he would need to sign in as press and go through the normal vetting process.

Looks like like classic, we don’t have to follow the rules GOPism.

I look forward to your update on this quick trigger post that is no where near accurate with regards to what actually happened.

You can see all comments on this post here:

PS: Let’s see the video. Put up or shut up.

” we have follow up coming soon (0.00 / 0)
looks like the person in question was offered the opportunity to sign in and film. the person refused to sign in, and thus was not permitted to film.

check The UpTake for and update soon”

Or perhaps there was more than one DFL Convention in CD2 today. At the one I attended at Faribault High School, the conveners stood at the podium and welcomed the openness of the convention to media and bloggers without discrimination on the basis of their political persuasion. This comment was met with APPLAUSE by the delegates and visitors in attendance.

That’s my eyewitness report, and I’m sticking with it.

I would think that in her quieter moments Michele looks back and wonders in what direction she is going.

I would think that God bless you Michele, might tend to ring hollow at times.

You are a typical anti-conservative, Christian-hater, who can take bigotry back to your hate Bachmann site.

God bless you Michele. Thanks for fighting the good fight!

I think the way the 3rd District DFL handled this was a model. Also, I covered the SD 43 Republicans endorsement during the special in 2005 – and that was a model of a good convention – and they were very friendly to myself and 2 other observers.

Candidates are not “slimed”, when they are videotaped, and the full speech is put on youtube unedited as was done with Bachmann’s speech to the Blaine convention in 2006. They are slimed when extensive editing makes the person look much worse than they are.

Also, the Republican Party in the 6th isn’t just banning bloggers – they are banning all audio and video from the MSM – the St Cloud Times, MPR, and TW Budig from Forum Communications all reported on this. According to Larry Schumacher of the St Cloud Times, the same audio/video ban applied to the Big Lake convention today between Mark Olson and Mary Kiffmeyer.

That goes equally for Repub and Dem bloggers.

The clip from the “Uptake” is the perfect example. That goof was not reporting on the goings on, he was whining about his inability to speak with one of the candidates. Plus, he was belligerent when asked to leave…he’s lucky I wasn’t the one doing the asking

Bottom line is that party events are open to the public at the discretion of the party.
