The Tom Emmer campaign has been aggressively pushing itself into places where, the conventional wisdom says, Republicans just don’t go.\u00a0 Right after the MNGOP convention, Emmer paraded at the Longfellow May Day parade, promting all manor of victorian vapours among the lefty pundits who have, for some reason, stopped being big champions of the First Amendment since Barack Obama took office.<\/p>\n

Last weekend it was the Cinco De Mayo parade, on Saint Paul’s West Side.\u00a0 The Bill Jungbauer campaign blog\u00a0 observed some intensely bigoted behavior<\/a>…:<\/p>\n

Another event that was totally outrageous occurred when we passed the dfl booth. About fifteen people stood in front of the booth in the street and chanted loudly in our faces, “KKK go away.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And an interesting VIP (emphasis added):<\/p>\n

Among the crowd was none other than Margaret Anderson-Kelliher<\/strong>, the endorsed democratic candidate for governor. The fascist, tax and spend feminazi was the ring leader amongst her merry band of liberals. So, rather than everyone sharing in our right to free speech and expression, these leftists, led by MAK, chose to disrupt and disturb us and those around us. The wonderful people of the community who only wanted to enjoy their celebration stood in witness to MAK and the democrats leftist hatred, exposing to us all their true fascist tendencies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t like bandying the “F” word around pointlessly – and I personally would like some third-party verification – but if a candidate herself gathers a pack of supporters, not to question or counterdemonstrate, but to heckle her opponent with defamatory ad-hominem, it’s not all that far off the beam.<\/p>\n

What do you Democrats have to say about your endorsed candidate<\/em> engaging in that kind of behavior?<\/p>\n

Isn’t this the “angry” “provocation” that you are all mewling about the GOP doing (without, as always, providing any examples)?<\/p>\n

UPDATE:\u00a0 We may <\/em>have video on the way shortly.\u00a0 Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
