| When the GOP elected FEC Tony and MudSlingerMike to their State Chair and Deputy Chair positions last June, it was a clear signal that the already mean-spirited GOP attack machine was gonna get even nastier. So, rather than respond, rebut, debunk, and/or fisk every nasty attack from The Small Tent Party, I thought it'd be easier to simply announce who got slimed by whom, and award 'em a badge of honor.
Today, I'm awarding the very first of said badges to Nick Coleman for his opinion piece in last Sunday's Star Tribune, entitled "Gov peddles as the state budget burns." Nick was slimed by the notorious M.O.B.ster Mitch Berg; I'd provide the link but that would only drive traffic to Berg's drivel.
As I wrote here, over a year ago:
Only in the rightwingnut world, is answering the question as asked ("which Supreme Court JUSTICE") considered "inexperience or (messianic) temperament", and worse.
Mitch Berg is simply demonstrating, to reasonable people, why reasonable people cannot trust republiCons to tell the truth -- and is also demonstrating why GOP now stands for GreedOverPrinciples.
Reasonable people understand that when stuff has to be make up to make a point, the point isn't worth making. Obama was asked a question; Obama answered the question as asked; but rightwingnuts make stuff up for some gratuitous cheap-shots that allegedly make a point.
There was plenty more in that year clearly demonstrating Mitch Berg is still unreasonable; still making stuff up; still taking the cheap shots. For his latest rant at Nick Coleman, Nick Coleman is hereby awared a badge of honor: "Slimed By The M.O.B."
Congratulations, Nick - you know you're doing good work, when your good work gets slimed.
Notch one up for Nick; notch one down for Berg. |
