Dog Bites Monitor
By Mitch Berg
George Soros is apparently paying people to snift through Republicans’ personal websites:
Romping with kids, picnicking with the kids, wrasslin’ with the dog — just the kind of activities you’d expect on the ubiquitous “family” page on a candidate’s website. But for one campaign website, that of Sauk Rapids Republican Rep. Dan Severson, there’s a surprise addition — a guy blowing himself up.
Uh, yeah – that video made the rounds a while ago. Perhaps Birkey remembers it?
While the notion of carnage is distasteful to most people, it was hugely popular because – I might need to type this slowly for the Minnesoros Independent’s staff – most people don’t like the suicide bombers who’ve been killing our troops, and thousands of innocent civilians, all over the world. We kind of like the idea, however abstract and crude, of at least one of them dying for bupkes, even if only in a josh video. We don’t like them. So while (unlike them) we do not celebrate death – even theirs – it doesn’t exactly bring a lump to the throat to see that those who murder innocent women and children meet a grisly, risible end.
Indeed, seeing terrorists get killed off for real is something of a hot item on Youtube.
“As you can see, my family enjoys spending time together and having fun,” reads Severson’s site. “I appreciate a good smile. Click on the link below to view a movie that will hopefully put a smile on your face.”
Wow. Guess that totally belies all that fun family stuff on the website, huh? I guess it means Severson is a HYPOCRITE HYPOCRITE HYPOCRITE, huh?
Minnesota Independent has contacted Severson, and we’ll publish his reply when we receive one.
Rep. Severson; before replying, please consult my friends Learned Foot, Yossarian and Swiftee on the finer points of telling people to pound sand with style.
Or, y’know, don’t. Like most of the rest of the Minndependent’s targets.

Every time a bomb prematurely detonates and blows up a terrorist, baby Jesus smiles.
Mitch, you also need to extend congratulations to Birkey. He’s won an award for his insightful sexual commentary…but oddly enough, he got edged out in the rectal emergency category; go figure.
And no, AssClown didn’t even get an honorable mention which is just wrong.

That’s Andy’s article decrying the attention that the local media paid to men being arrested for public nudity, right before the numerous articles Andy then wrote about Larry Craig’s toe tapping incident.

It was not Rep. Severson’s video it was VW’s Video. So if they want to attack any one they should be going after VW. But maybe they might lose ad money in the future.

“Independent”?
“Key Obama advisers cut their political teeth on Minnesota races”
“RNC Protest 101: Sizing up Twin Cities demonstration rules”
“Back in the fray: Wellstone adviser on running the Obama campaign in Minnesota”
“McCain touches down for dollars in Minneapolis”
“Sarvi and Tinklenberg get boost from DCCC”
“Rep. Severson’s family fun page includes man blowing himself up”
With such an obvious and desperate lie sitting above every single page on their site, I imagine they get two kinds of customers: a) people too foolish to recognize the lie, and b) people with so little integrity that they don’t mind the lie.
