Youthful Props

By Jeff Simpson

Everyone remember the 14 year old wunderkind Jonathon Krohn, man did they love him!  Until he grew up, got an education and became a liberal.   Then they attacked!

 “I think it was naive,” Krohn now says of the speech. “It’s a 13-year-old kid saying stuff that he had heard for a long time.… I live in Georgia. We’re inundated with conservative talk in Georgia.… The speech was something that a 13-year-old does. You haven’t formed all your opinions. You’re really defeating yourself if you think you have all of your ideas in your head when you were 12 or 13. It’s impossible. You haven’t done enough.”

Krohn had outlived his usefulness as a prop for the republican party so he had to go.  Next step of course was to find a new prop. Unfortunately, their latest child they are exploiting is from Wisconsin.

Boy are they exploiting him. 

In case you are curious about this kids mindset, well this is his tweet from tonight:

This is what the liberal media doesn't want you to see. There were hundreds of young conservatives at #CPAC13. pic.twitter.com/PAZNnNygez

Well since we are one of the few "liberal media" outlets in the state, by all means let me show it.  Share it with all, I want everyone to see!

 

Except for the fact it has no relevance, not sure why a picture of 20 white kids at CPAC would be anything any media would care about.   Irregardless, there you go! 

Republican Thugs - Attack the Kid!

As we posted here the other day, former republican wonderkid and Author Johnathan Krohn came out and let everyone know, that he was no longer the 13 year old kid who the republicans threw up on the mantle as the answer to all political questions.  


Krohn pointed out that he grew up, opened his mind and matured and was no longer a "social conservative" in fact he supports President Obama. Next comes the part of the story that EVERYONE knew was coming. The anger and hatred on the right could not let this go, they had to attack the 17 year old and they used their favorite misleading vessel, Fox "News", to do so!

"Well, I am in favor of Obamacare," he said. "I mean Obamacare and gay marriage, and I am pro-choice now. You know, it was social conservatism that was really the first thing to go."

Reflecting on his encounters at social conservative gatherings, he continued, "It's very much a very fundamentalist, strong Evangelical core that you have there. And, if you stray from that, a lot of the people in that area of conservatism have a problem with that, if you reach out a little bit and don't agree with them on one issue. They're very restrictive."

Asked about blowback he's experienced from conservatives in response to his political shift, Krohn acknowledged that some of the reaction has been critical, but stressed, "I changed my mind." Referring to coverage on Fox News he said, "They started making fun of me. I think one of the guys said if it was up to him he would have left me in the woods as a baby.

On the Daily Caller, they have written three articles about me, all of which called me names I can't repeat on television in 5:00 in the afternoon." One Daily Caller article published earlier in the day quoted an anonymous source who attended the Conservative Political Action Conference in 2009, who called Krohn "smug, condescending, and obviously completely ignorant of what he was saying." The source added, "To be clear, the fact that he was being used did not make the kid any less of a douche.”

What does it say about your network when the 17 year old your constantly attacking is more mature than anyone employed there?

It's real classy the way the right attacks people like this, yet everyone knew it was coming. One word of advice to Mr. Krohn, its going to get worse, their hatred and anger is bottled up and ready to explode!
