| That's part of a line in a blogpost Andy Aplikowski made, and promptly deleted on June 30th, 2009.
Here's the whole line:
Yes, that's right, it appears that a Republican staffer in the Capital is trying to tank some of the condender's on Seifert's behalf. (emphasis NOT added)
The subject of Andy's blogpost was the smear campaign against Laura Brod; Andy made allegations that the smear was coming from within the MN GOP. Specifically, Andy wrote:
The alleged culprits of the attack are Seifert supporters with speculation of the ringleader being the candidate himself.
Marty Seifert has denied personal and/or staff involvement as documented by Brian Falldin here and Political Muse here.
It's important to note in Marty Seifert's written response to Brian Falldin, Marty Seifert wrote:
I would ask anyone in question that allegedly has done this to open up to a lie detector test, open up cell and computer records and come clean.
One person that could come clean - and probably very easily - is GOP State Deputy Chair Michael Brodkorb, owner of a blog where one of the smears appeared, on June 4th. This was discussed yesterday, here.
So far, GOP State Deputy Chair Michael Brodkorb hasn't stepped forward to aide Rep. Seifert in locating the culprit by handing over easily located IP records. This makes me wonder if it is possible that Andy Aplikowski could be refering to GOP Senate Caucus Communications Director Michael Brodkorb when he says a "...Republican staffer in the Capital"?
More importantly, after making such serious allegations, why is Andy Aplikowski now aiding in the cover-up by not stepping forward to clear the air? Does his silence indicate that he simply made it all up or does he still have information that he isn't sharing?
Stay tuned! |
