Open Letter To Rep. Vang

To: Rep. Samantha Vang
From: Mitch Berg, Irascible Peasant
Re: Gaslighting

Rep. Vang,

You wrote the “Social Credit” bill (you call it ‘Stop Hate’, but my title is more accurate) that I talked about on my show over the weekend.

You got a storm of criticism – almost all of it justified.

This was your response:

Well,no. That’s not what it does.

Y’see, the market for hate crime far, far outstrips the supply, notwithstanding the DFL’s “Reichstag Firing”. For example:

The mosque fires were set, not just by one guy, the the one criminal in Minneapolis dumb enough to actually commit a crime that Minneapolis’s city government still gives a sh*t about.

No – Rep. Vang’s bill will essentially collect statemens about “microagressions” reported by protected classes.

Bumper sticker they don’t like?

Something overheard in a cafe?

A Trump sign?

Nobody knows. The bill allows no scrutiny, no Data Practices requests, no accountability or transparency of any kind.

It is, in every respect, a “social credit” bill.

Which is a key part of the Communist system, Rep. Vang, that your parents and her people fled.

That is all.

  1. Say, with this new Social Credit™ system in MN can we report Emery for some of the crap he says? Asking for a friend.

  2. Given that so many unkind and hurtful things are posted on the internet I’m surprised that Rep Vang’s Social Credit bill doesn’t have provisions requiring the registration of all interactive devices connected to the internet with the ability for appropriate authorities to permanently disconnect offenders. Perhaps if Rep Vang were to think about it she could address the revenue shortfall with Internet Device License Fees

  3. From CrimeWatchMpls, Oh look! @MNFreedomFund bailed out Little not once, but TWICE in another arson case that’s still pending.

    Well, all’s I have to say is thank goodness that Mr Little was conveniently available to offend a protected group just in the nick of time for that group to pass a law protecting its own.

  4. reenacting the verbal harassment and abuse Asian Americans faced during the height of COVID
    What the Hell is she talking about? Did she ever experience this so-called “verbal harassment and abuse”? You can’t suffer this stuff by proxy. If you can suffer this stuff by proxy, what about the abuse directed towards the “GOP trolls”?

    This looks a lot like that study the City of Minneapolis did about its PD that found the dept. was ridden with racism and abuse, but with the actual data used to arrive at this conclusion never released.

    if 18 officers are waiting for roll call to begin and one of them makes an outre comment and the other 17 don’t immediately report her to IA then ALL 18 are racists,
    or
    if 175 sworn officers are on duty and one of them makes a declasse reference to a perpetrator and she is not immediately suspended without pay then ALL 175 officers are racist

    This is standard scientific research protocol.

  6. If she hasn’t suffered death threats, then I’m not taking her complaints seriously. I mean come one, everybody claims to have death threats, that’s the standard way to shut down criticism when called out for saying idiotic things.

  7. Deliciously ironic that the Hmong people were persecuted mercilessly in Vietnam with absolutely no protest by the feckless left wing in America. I very much doubt that any first generation Hmong refugee would agree with Rep Vang.

  8. In Britain they used to have police respond to, and document “non-crime hate incidents.” They stopped this practice because the cops figured out it was a lot less work to spend the day documenting “non-crime hate incidents” than doing their f’ing jobs.

  9. As soon as this thing is setup, I pray that everyone who communicated to Vang their dissatisfaction with her authoritarianism contacts the Minnesota Department of Human Rights and reports Vang for referring to him or her as a GOP troll.

  10. I’m wondering how long it is going to take to expose this cry-bully(fascist) scam? I mean generally.

  11. golfdoc;
    Yea, so many of them became Democrats to honor Vin Weber, who made it possible for them to come to Minnesota. From what some of my Hmong customers have told me, the Democratic Party has changed, so they supposedly switched parties, but idiots like Vang, were indoctrinated in college and aren’t listening to their elders. She also is conveniently ignoring the fact that all of that Asian hate speech and assaults, came from black people. That’s why the propaganda media stopped covering those incidents. It didn’t fit the narrative.

  12. many of them became Democrats to honor Vin Weber, who made it possible for them to come to Minnesota.

    Considering Vin Weber is a Republican of the corporatist type, that would be an odd way to honor him, boss. But it’s something of a distinction without a difference these days, I guess.

  14. Mr. D,
    You are correct. I don’t know how in the hell I wrote Weber when it should have been Rudy Perpich. Lutheran Social Services funded most of the resettlements, too. They initially looked at it as repayment of a debt, so when they were eligible to vote, they voted Democrat.
