Hypcocrisy, Thy Party Is GOP...

...and MudSlingerMike is the mouthpiece.

By now, everyone knows the story about the MN GOP ripping DFLer Colin Peterson for Peterson's decision not to hold "Town Hall" meetings.  Dusty Trice made a great catch of State GOP Deputy Chair Michael Brodkorb engaging in the hypocrisy the GreedOverPrinciples party is so well-known for. Let's watch!

Dusty followed up that YouTube with another YouTube of Michele Bachmann ducking questions.  The contrast between what GOPer Brodkorb mouthed off about and Bachmann's actions is quite clear - link here for Dusty's entire post.

And Dusty Trice isn't the only one that caught the blatant demonstration of GOPer hypocrisy; the St. Cloud Times Editorial Board weighed in, too!  Let's look!

Then what about Peterson's neighbor, the GOP's own 6th District Rep. Michele Bachmann?

Except for one tightly controlled forum at which she barely spoke, we don't recall any town meetings she's held in this area since elected.  (St. Cloud Times)

Ladies and Gentlemen, MudSlingerMike is simply demonstrating - once again - why reasonable people have no reason to believe anything that the GOP says (or, "trust", as GOP National Chair Michael Steele said).

As Dusty said, Brodkorb's actions are "unbelievable."  Nice catch, Dusty.

that should be huge (0.00 / 0)
I came to comment with a link to that same story. This should be a huge story. It seems planning to stop anyone else being heard goes way beyond just being willing to yell in order to get heard. It's not like single-payer advocates at Baucus's health insurance reform committee meetings.

Honestly, looking at that clip, I won't be surprised if actual fights break out.

what "that clip" is (0.00 / 0)
By "that clip", I meant this one, which turns out to be at TPM, not Think Progress. http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo...

Does Rep. Ellison hold his town hall meetings here? (0.00 / 0)
Or in the Middle East?

Just kidding.  Rep. Walz's biggest supporter Kathy was always railing about how Walz had them (town hall meetings)and Bachman didn't.  I don't think anyone really cares either way as each person serves as they see best.  Can't really believe that there will be many in the next few weeks unless our Representatives enjoy pitchforks and torches.
