The amusement\u00a0value of the “Dump Bachmann” “blog” (“the blog that did more than any other to send Michele Bachmann to Congress”), wore out long, long ago.\u00a0 All the thing is really good for these days is seeing which of Eva Young’s<\/a> pack of remedial writers and “artists” will get arrested for stalking first.\u00a0 She’s pretty much reduced to nonsensically prattling “MOB parrot!\u00a0 MOB parrot!” in response to criticism – ironically, a bit like a trained parrot (and just you watch, it’ll be her big “response” to this, too!)<\/p>\n

But occasionally, the ongoing train wreck emits a more-than-normally piercing squeal.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Karl Bremer – an occasional writer<\/a> and more-occasional subject on the Dump\u00a0– has long been known for being a\u00a0big, big talker\u00a0who pours forth boundless aggression from the safety of his keyboard.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

And in the Dump’s comment section, he\u00a0slanders Drew Emmer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I thought I saw the name Drew Emmer among those arrested with Larry Craig for cruising MSP airport bathrooms for anonymous sex. I could be wrong, but Emmer’s behavior and comments seem oddly similar in both form and content to Craig’s.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bremer’s a class act!<\/p>\n

Oh, relax.\u00a0 When I say “slander”, it’s only in the ethical sense of the term; Drew’s public enough a figure to entitle him to take all sorts of morally-retarded abuse\u00a0with no legal recourse.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The real point, of course, is that Bremer is a big part of the Dump Bachmann\u00a0clicque – both the blog itself and the little clacque of crazed zealots that rails away in the Sixth District (among others).\u00a0 He is <\/em>the face of the Anti-Bachmann crowd.<\/p>\n

Will Eva Young condemn this homophobic slander and condemn her buddy Bremer?\u00a0 Or will she erase the comment and pretend she and her blog are ethical?\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
