Hello, just a little tidbit of info you may or may not already know or care about. Mike McIntee has posted a video on YouTube.com entitled -White House Caught Doctoring “Mission Accomplished” Video- where he supposedly catches the white house doctoring a video that is posted on WhiteHouse.gov. There is a video entitled -Mike McIntee is lying- that debunks Mr. McIntee’s video completely. Also Mr. McIntee deletes anyones comments that confront him on his “mistake” which is an obvious sign he knew the vidoe was a hoax when he posted it. Any normal person would say “oh thanks for pointing out my mistake, I’ll correct it by taking the video down.” Here are the URL’s and also they can just be youtube searched>

Rebecca Otto’s last campaign for her house seat was won by a false accusation of her Republican opponent. Truth and integrity are not her character traits.

[...] I have since learned that the proprietor of IRE is a man named Michael Brodkorb who apparently fancies himself some kind of Magnum PI look-alike. He has also been hired by both the campaigns for Michelle Bachman and Mark Kennedy which may stand the single-handed reason for their current failing polls. (Yes, Bachman is ahead…but not nearly as much as she should be in a Republican district…and she’s still falling.) It should be noted that these little disclaimers had to be, for lack of a better word, exposed by the good folks of MN Publis before Thomas Magnum put it up on his own site. [...]

Where is your political work on behalf of Weber Johnson listed?

Back up (beep, beep, beep).

Brodkorb is saying that he is not paid to blog. He is a political activist, and does have part-time positions with campaigns and other entities.

The Strib and others question this because he makes over $4.5k per month from the Kennedy campaign and got $5.5k from the Bachmann campaign for a one-time assignment. The argument goes that this amount is too high to be considered part-time wages. This only makes sense if you believe that no one makes more than $50,000 per year. And it is contradicted by the fact that we know Brodkorb works for more than one campaign/entity.

The paid-to-blog charge is only supported if the $4,500 per month is well beyond what other consultants are paid for similar work. Brodkorb is very good at what he does. Political types make their money in short bursts in election years. It is silly to project campaign consulting fees into yearly salaries because it all goes away in November. And I have a hunch that Brodkorb will keep posting away after November.

One of Brodkorb’s biggest topics was the Matt Entenza thing. Is there some consulting relationship that explains those posts?

Former employment and volunteer party work actually SUPPORT his claim that he is not paid to blog. If the employment ends, but the blogging continues, he must not be paid to blog. And if he does stuff for free (chair of his Senate District), that also suggests that he is not paid to blog.

Boo fucking hoo. Right wing sycophant launches attack blog and then whines that everyone found out that Mark Kennedy’s hopeless campaign is paying him $55,000 per year to spew childish attack rhetoric. Life sure does suck for poor ol’ MDE. Someone should start a blog called Minnesota Democrats Exposed Exposed. lol

Is Ron Marty of Power Liberal in any way related to the John Marty in the State Legislature. If so is that disclosed?

The problem is that this Mr. Brodkorb gets regular exposure from a main-stream media too damn sluggish to cover REAL news stories on their own.

They opt to use information from a self-proclaimed “partisan Republican” as a newsfeed as though it were hot off the AP wire.

I am a Democrat – but I don’t think it’s Brodkorb’s problem that our local media is too lazy to dig up stories on their own.

In the end, we all lose. Except maybe Mr. Brodkorb since website popularity can lead to money.

*laughs up his sleeve*
No way.
NO WAY!
It just cannot be.
*shakes head*
No one is stupid enough to believe that you “totally hide the fact” that you are a partisan.
No one is inane enough to suggest you are a “liar” because you use the word “truth” too much in your headers.
No one is assine enough to call you so many names with so little basis, and then call you “stupid”.
*chuckles, giggles, and laughs himself silly*
Oh God! Make it stop! It’s too much!
Ahahahahahahahahahahaha!
…
OK, I’m over it now. Whew!
*wipes forehead*
I think Roving Reporter must be someone’s little sister. I mean, how many words do you need to write to express “Naa naa-naa naa naa!”. Sheesh!

Your life is a disclosure because of the law. You totally hide the fact that you are nothing but a political hack and that you have the time to be a thorn in the side of your enemy because you are paid to, while the rest of us have to work for a real living.

Anyone who mentions the truth as much as you do in their header is obviously a liar. I know that anyone right or left who has the time to generate as much B.S. as you do is paid to do it, and therefore cannot be trusted. It’s called MOTIVE stupid! It’s how the legal system finds and convicts criminals.

Awww. I almost feel sorry for you now. It is sad that blogs would say bad things about you. You have been doing it to others for years, and I don’t expect you to learn from this lesson, but the point remains.
