George Soros is apparently paying people to snift through Republicans’ personal websites<\/a>:<\/p>\n

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<\/a>, that of Sauk Rapids Republican Rep. Dan Severson, there’s a surprise addition — a guy blowing himself up<\/a>.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Uh, yeah – that video made the rounds a while ago. Perhaps Birkey remembers it?<\/p>\n

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 <\/em>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 <\/em>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<\/em>. 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.
\nIndeed, seeing terrorists get killed off for real is something <\/a>of a hot <\/a>item <\/a>on Youtube<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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?<\/p>\n

Minnesota Independent has contacted Severson, and we’ll publish his reply when we receive one.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Or, y’know, don’t. Like most of the rest of the Minndependent’s <\/em>targets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
