What Hovde said is EXACTLY what you thought he would say. He is the victim, he needs money to defend his poor poor self from the liberal media, and of course he never said what you heard him say, it was all the "liberal media's" fault. Hovde
The Liberal Media is at it again, and our campaign is their target.
Infamous left-wing blogger Arianna Huffington and Reverend Al Sharpton have taken my words way out of context, and they are using their slanted view to rile up the liberal base from coast to coast.
At a Chamber of Commerce event last week, I was speaking about out-of-control government spending and widespread waste, fraud and abuse that plagues social programs such as Food Stamps.
When I decided to be honest with people and call out the media for ignoring the abuse of our Food Stamps program, Arianna pounced and plastered me on the front page of her website, claiming that I was sick of the press "whining about poor people."(which is exactly what he said we have the video)
What Arianna, Reverend Sharpton, and those who constantly demagogue this issue by playing class warfare never want to admit is that it’s out-of-control government spending and crushing debt that is putting all of our programs—including Food Stamps, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid—at risk.(Hovde doubles down on his economic ignorance - see Day 2)
So he is pulling more of though, i know you have the video but what I am saying on the video I did not really say, I am just being baselessly attacked by the Liberals. I am sure Christian Schneider is working on a post making Hovde out to be Robin Hood as we speak!
So watch the video and then decide if Hovde is being uneccesarily attacked or if he is starting his Senate campaign lying to the people of Wisconsin!
PS: Mr. Hovde if Arianne Huffington won't debate you, I will!
PS: while Eric Hovde likes to brag about how much of his inherited millions he gives to charity, Cory @ Eye on Wisconsin has a great post today showing that where he really likes to give his money is other republicans. It appears his favorite charity is buying friends.
