Shot in the Dark

Set Straight

Your liberal friends are probably salving their worries over Hillary’s health with a recent NYT hit piece on Scott Walker.

Have no fear. In what is becoming a Berg’s Law-worthy pattern, the Times’ piece is pretty much a NYPost article in a tweed sportcoat.  Christian Schneider notes in the conclusion:

Christopher Hitchens once wrote, “It is a frequent vice of radical polemic to assert, and even to believe, that once you have found the lowest motive for an antagonist, you have identified the correct one.” In this case, the New York Times started with a motive and worked backwards, rather than letting the facts lead them to an honest conclusion.

Read the whole thing.  Refer it to your liberal friends.  Ask if it’s ever been different.

    It was fun yet disturbing to watch the lefties in Wisconsin get all excited about this. I think I mentioned last week that on day the very liberal La Crosse Tribune had 4 of its 9 news stories featured on its web site being anti-Walker hit pieces.

    Speaking of hit pieces…did you know that low life, smarmy, punk-ass, lying, adulterous, drunken scumbag motherfucker Michael Brodkorb is evidently a kept rat on the Minnpost’s payroll now?

    Well he is, and he’s kicked off his rat-fest with a hit piece on Jason Lewis.

    Oh, and he’s getting his salad tossed these days, not by a GOP politician, but by his fellow low life, smarmy, punk-ass, lying, scumbag motherfucker wing-rat, Brian Lambo

    Oh, and Heather Martin’s replacement, Nancy Nord Bence, is over there spewing heaping mounds of steaming bullshit about the NRA and racist hatred for white people.

    The gun lobby does not support universal background checks. They can say that white gun owners are hunters and they support the Second Amendment, that gun violence is an inner-city problem. This is a terrible lie. In reality, white people own much of the gun violence problem in this state because of suicide.

    And the kind of insanity only a brain-dead leftist could cobble together…

    In New Hampshire, public health groups have worked with licensed gun dealers to educate them about what to look for when they interact with a customer who says they, “only need one bullet,” or, “I need a gun right now.”

    W. T. F. Who goes in and says “I only need one bullet”? Who has the unmitigated gall to suggest anyone does that? Mentally diseased moonbats.

    And then, connects with the money…

    In March 2016, for instance, The Trace reported on a Harvard study…

    “The Trace” is Michael Bloomberg’s propaganda mill, reporting on a study Bloomberg financed, which is being regurgitated by a lying bull dyke on Bloomberg’s payroll, on a website financed by the Joyce Foundation.

    And then she finishes with a barrage of lies…

    Protect Minnesota is not anti-gun. We are anti-gun violence. We are not anti the [sic] Second Amendment. We are not trying to take guns away. We just want to make guns safer.

    DG,

    Against what may be my better judgment, I’m going to let this comment out of moderation.

    However, I ask that you respond to the responses to your comment on the “Good Guy With the Gun” post yesterday. You didn’t fare nearly as well as you think you did, and you need to be set straight.

    Work calls now; I’ll respond to this later. Most of it is wrong, as usual, but as usual, if you’re not going to bother to check back, I’m not going to bother posting your comments.

    You’ve been asked nicely.

    ———-

    Poor Swiftee; the problem with people like Brodkorb is that when you loved him back in the day he was a scum bag then and he is a scum bag now.

    The difference is I have always recognized him as a scum bag regardless of whom he was targeting. I think it is hilarious that he is now after your precious liars and bigots.

    Scott Walker is also corrupt scum on the payroll of the Koch brothers, if indirectly.

    You lose the moral high ground for indignation when your side of the aisle is so vile and corrupt, and yet you support them.

    I suggest you take a look at how he tried to avoid campaign law with the leaked emails from the John Doe case. This goes to right wing hypocritical double standards — none of you were outraged over Walker’s email scandal.

    The Trace makes no bones about being funded by Bloomberg.

    However I’m not aware of any evidence other than wishful thinking that Bloomberg funded the Harvard study.

    I doubt Swiftee will be able to post any such evidence, but hey — give it a go.

    Utterly irrelevant. They have the same goal in mind

    Which, by your logic when the sides are reversed, makes them a “crap source”.

    Isn’t “appeal to authority” boring?

    back in the day he was a scum bag then and he is a scum bag now.

    Careful, DG. He’s mostly working for your side now. Your overseers are about to declare him rehabilitated. You could get in trouble.

    dog woman has tripped on a morsel of truth. Brodkorb was the subject of a slander suit filed by, Blows Olson I think, whose only purpose was doxxing him as the writer or Minnesota Democraps Exposed!.

    I didn’t know Brodkorb at the time, but he claimed he was not a GOP operative. He solicited donations to help him offset his legal fees, and I sent him $75.00 with the caveat that if it turned out he had lied, I’d be pissed.

    Well, turns out of course that it was a colossal lie. I knew he was a snake from that moment, and should have said so publicly; but I didn’t.

    As to his current activities, I declare the following: Brodkorb has not changed at all; he is every bit the lying scumbag he always was. He is not helping leftist reprobates, he loathes them as much as ever. He is using witless moonbats to hurting the MNGOP he thinks are somehow responsible for his public shaming and subsequent fall into the gutter. When he fucks up again, and he will, trust me, I’ll be here to grind his nose into the shit. Fuck him.

    Now, as to the Harvard study. I know Bloomberg paid for it because it was pre-released to the Trace before being publicly published.

    These are among the key findings of a sweeping new survey of gun ownership, provided in advance of publication to The Trace…
    https://www.thetrace.org/2016/09/harvard-northeastern-gun-ownership-survey-research/

    Legit scholarship doesn’t stack the deck in anyone’s favor like that, and they don’t give their work away for free. They were specifically commissioned to write that work of fiction for publication in the Trace; only a mental midget couldn’t see that….that would be you, dog.

    Lastly, my comment had nothing to do with Scott Walker, or the Koch brothers, and I won’t have an ignorant twat obfuscating my commentary with her inane spew. So fuck you too, dog woman.

    BTW, I demand you provide proof you are a licensed DVM, and have a valid DEA # to prescribe and dispense schedule I drugs, or admit you are the filthy, insane liar we know you are, or I’ll alert the Minnesota Humane Society you are out there cutting dogs up…M’Kay?

    True — he just needs a few visits to the Hair Club for Men and he can be David Brock.

    Mad Dog is revisiting the same old tired allegations against Governor Walker that the courts threw out?

    OK, fair is fair, then Hilliary is in the pocket of the Russians, who cut her foundation a big check after getting control of 20% of the U.S. uranium supply.

    I like this game.
