The War Within #MAGA

By Jeff Simpson

The Donald continues to tell us about building a wall, and the dangers of Muslims and the need for travel bans.  School shootings continue with the next one seemingly being worse than the last. 

Lost in the shuffle is the actual war that some people are fighting right here in our country.    The right wing echo chamber, work very hard to cover it up and the mainstream media does not want to deal with the far right hate groups wrath by tying together the incidences, so we will.

The war within our country right now is the far right wing hate groups, led by the NRA and guided by the far right hate talk radio and Fox News.   They are convincing their "soldiers" that the liberals are the enemy, they are going to loe their rights and freedoms, we are too worried about our PC culture and why in the world would women think they could do the same work as men.    While everyone may have heard of an occasional incident, there is becoming a pattern. 

Let's take a look:

*  Starting with the NRA, one of their main vendors is selling a bleeding female mannequin target(and another that resembled President Obama).

Of course mass killings and domestic violence are closely related and we do need to make a profit!

*  We are not done with our friend at the NRA yet, they also recently released a terrorist video aimed at Americans:

Al Quada would be proud.  

*  Speaking of Al Quada, the white supremacist movement(AKA Y'all Quada) has exploded in the US since 2008(coincidentally, the same year America elected an African American president).

LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS and the watchdog groups that track the self-styled “patriot” groups call them anti-government extremists, militias, armed militants or even domestic terrorists. Some opponents of the largely white and rural groups have made fun by calling them “Y’all Qaeda” or “Vanilla ISIS.”
Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors extremism, said there were about 150 such groups in 2008 and about 1,000 now. Potok and other analysts, including law enforcement officials who track the groups, said their supporters number in the hundreds of thousands, counting people who signal their support in more passive ways, such as following the groups on social media. The Facebook page of the Oath Keepers, a group of former members of police forces and the military, for example, has more than 525,000 “likes.”

*   There is an influx of white supremacists running for public office now that they have been empowered, with one of the highest profile being Arthur Jones, who recently won the Republican nomination for Congress.  Jones, calls the holocaust, the "biggest blackest lie in history".  While he ran unopposed,  it did not stop over 20,000 Republicans from voting for him.   Jones has also ran 5 times before, but this year, in 2018 the Donald era - he actually secured a spot on the ballot.

*   Recently, a 24 year old white male, ended up blowing himself up, after targeting local people of color in Austin Texas with home made package bombs.   The home schooled Conditt, referred to himself as a low information Republican:

My name is Mark Conditt. I enjoy cycling, parkour, tennis, reading, and listening to music. I am not that politically inclined. I view myself as a conservative, but I don’t think I have enough information to defend my stance as well as it should be defended. 

As is typical, not having enough information does not stop one from having strong opinions:

On the blog, the suspect gave a window into his mind and political views. In it, he said that he opposes gay marriage, comparing it to bestiality. He railed against abortion. The entries date to 2012 and appear to be for a class. He also wrote about the government releasing an Al-Qaeda terrorist, opining, “I think that it is just plain dumb to release a terrorist, much less a senior one – no matter what he can provide.” 

*  The Parkland High School shooter had some very strong hatred in his bones, he hated blacks, minorities, homosexuals, white women who dated interracially and liberals.  His loves were guns, and The Donald. 

* This past weekend, there was a children organized "March for Our Lives" throughout the country where millions of people marched for reasonable gun control and to make sure our younger generation are registered to vote so the politicians will listen to them.  In Madison the turnout was amazing! 

In almost every March all over the country, there was also a consistent uninvited guest.   The old white guy openly carrying a gun.

Nothing like a loaded gun, the Gadsden flag and ear muffs to really advance your cause. 

*  Locally during the "Day of Action" where students all over the country(including my children), silently left class for 17 minutes in memory of the 17 people who were slaughtered in Florida, local right wing extremist blogger Jimmy Wigderson was besides himself that kids would actually do that:

Unfortunately, in so many other schools, kids are being transported to little protest spots to be props for Democrats seeking to make gun control an issue. In Madison, the high school kids are being transported from West, Lafollette and Memorial High Schools to East High School by bus so they then can go march on the Capitol.
But we know it's a spontaneous uprising of the kids, right? Because so many of them have the wherewithal and credit cards necessary to charter buses.
Governor Scott Walker, wisely, will be out of the Capitol today at a bill signing. And state Senate Republicans are meeting behind closed doors today to actually work on a real school safety plan, not the result of a hyped-up tantrum that'll be thrown outside the Capitol today.
In other words, the grownups are working. Some are working at manipulating kids for their own ends, while others are actually working today to solve the state's problems.

What do you know, someone actually does read Wiggies hate filled extremist website.   

A Pewaukee High School student was arrested Wednesday morning in connection with a threat that prompted the school district to close its campus and cancel classes.
The suspect was taken into custody by investigators with the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department. The investigation has not revealed any evidence of any other actors or participants, according to a joint news release from the Sheriff's Department, the Pewaukee Police Department and the school district.
But a screenshot from the app Sarahah.com that was shared on the Pewaukee Parents Facebook page said, "All you liberals are going to be easy targets. I wouldn't recommend showing up to school, unless you want to die. Pewaukee is going to be bigger than Columbine and Florida combined. Just you wait. Pewaukee isn't so safe. ;) - You're all going to die tomorrow and nothing will stop us."

We are seeing a pattern of home grown terrorism in the United States and there is a pattern of middle to lower class, privileged white Republicans who hate liberals and love guns. 
The group that like to think of themselves as the "good guys with guns" are the profile of the exact people we need to be worried about.  While the kids this past weekend were not intimidated by all of the people openly carrying guns and looking for confrontations at their rallies, the reality is they should have been.

For instance, the NRA and their allies made this picture go viral(of course they photoshopped the original):

Apparently, the right wing is over their faux outrage, of attacking children.  

At a Pro Trump #MAGA rally this weekend in "liberal" Los Angeles, the Trumpets decided that they had no use for minorities or anyone from the media (#fakenews) and this is a picture of how they treated a local photographer(apparently none of them in their fervor to be Super Patriots have ever read the flag code).  

I do not believe that all Republicans are mass murderers, but most mass murderers all seem to fit the same profile.   It is not hard to understand either, with a heavy dose of hard core Republican hatred blaring at them from all angles from hate radio (Rush, Vicki, Dan O Donnell, Belling, etc...) to lunatics like Christian Schneider getting unlimited column inches with no oversight, to the blogs filled with BS and lies like Right Wisconsin, Maciver and Mediatrackers, that are treated as legit news sources by our media, and most political talk shows loaded with hard core Republicans, all people who listen to the airwaves get a heavy dose daily of the same message - Liberals are the enemy of America and are working hard to destroy our country. 

We have a choice this year, will we reward that behavior and keep going further and further down the rabbit hole, or will we stand up and say #Enough ?

The choice is up to us!

Free Market Strikes In Green Bay

By Jeff Simpson 

 Karma bides it’s time. You will always have to watch out. Karma is unforgiving and always gets payback.– Benjamin Bayani

Jerry Bader, the right wing hate talker from Green Bay, who has a career of racism, sexism and flat out lies, was let go from his daily spewing hatred radio show.    

While Bader says it is because he is a never trumper, the reality is he is a small fish in a big pond and always thought of himself as a Muskie. 

His perpetual attempts to be a poor mans Charlie Sykes, turned out to be more worthy of pity than audience share. 

In an era where businesses are cutting costs and employees, one where Republicans like to tout the free market when hundreds get laid off, was bitten by the same bug that has brought him so much joy these last few years. 

His radio show was boring stale and unimaginative.  While his old employer still has hate talkers, Rush, Levin and Hannity are still being played on the airwaves, the station does not have to provide them with insurance, benefits or expenses. 

The free market in action. 

When Charlie Sykes defends you, there is nothing else that needs to be said!

Charlie Sykes‏ 
@SykesCharlie
Bader was a courageous, principled voice, who refused to join other talkers on Trump train despite threats from management. #Respect

Bader has another job. he works for Mediatrackkkers(which is part of the wing nut welfare system of WI).   In the history of their ridiculous blog, no one who has written for them has ever had even an inkling of principle.

Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” 

Justice today, was served! 

 The Law of Karma is also called the Law of Cause and Effect, Action and Reaction and: as you sow, so shall you reap.– Sham Hinduja

Is Eric O'Keefe Russian?

By Jeff Simpson 

Information has come out that Russian linked Facebook ads, targeting Michigan and Wisconsin were used to help the GOP win last November. 

A number of Russian-linked Facebook ads specifically targeted Michigan and Wisconsin, two states crucial to Donald Trump's victory last November, according to four sources with direct knowledge of the situation.
Some of the Russian ads appeared highly sophisticated in their targeting of key demographic groups in areas of the states that turned out to be pivotal, two of the sources said. The ads employed a series of divisive messages aimed at breaking through the clutter of campaign ads online, including promoting anti-Muslim messages, sources said.

Dark money, originated in Russia, was used to make sure that in Wisconsin, The Donald, RoJo, Paul Ryan, Sean Duffy, Mike Gallagher, etc...were elected to populate the swamp. 

We in WI had no idea that the Russians were trying to get our friends on the right elected.

How could we not know? 

The Answer is simple really, because Freedom.

See the right wing has amazingly turned money into free speech and have millions of dollars of free speech to blow. 

It was hard to distinguish between Russian backed propaganda and Eric O'Keefe or Bradley Foundation backed propaganda.   Between the Putins flunkies, Wisconsin Club for Growth, Americas PAC , Maciver Institute,  Right Wisconsin, Media Trackkkers, Bradley Foundation, etc..

It is hard to distinguish, because they all have the same agenda and want the same ending.

Republican control of our country. 

Maybe when you have the same exact agenda as Vladimir Putin, It sure is not to Make America Great Again!

The Paul Ryan Panic

By Jeff Simpson

We have brought you the story that Paul Ryan (R-Wall St.), has a serious challenger this election cycle and how it would be very important and strategic for the Democrats in the 1st Congressional district to cross over in the primary on August 9th and vote for Paul Nehlen.


There is starting to be real panic by his owners that the people of Wisconsin are ready to give Paul Ryan the pink slip that he so richly deserves and has helped thousands of his constituents also get.


Let us count the ways:


First off, the party establishment hacks at Mediatrackkkers are attacking Mr. Nehlen almost daily. The latest poor attempt at a smear job, was when Brian Sikma wrote an article ripping on Mr. Nehlen for doing something Paul Ryan has never done....having a job in the private sector.

Paul Nehlen is running for Congress in Wisconsin’s 1st District attempting to oust House Speaker Paul Ryan in the August primary. Central to Nehlen’s campaign platform is his opposition to current or proposed trade deals that, he argues, send U.S. jobs oversees for the benefit of crony capitalists and the coffers of political campaigns they support. But a review of Nehlen’s work history finds that the firebrand opponent of existing free trade deals actually managed a Chinese factory that exported its product to U.S. markets – products that were once made by American workers.

This just in....Paul Nehlen once had a job....story at 11!


But wait there is more:


Some guy who used to work at mediatrackkkers was upset that we wrote a story about the primary!

Nathan Schacht‏@SchachtNathanFake conservative Paul Nehlen turns to Dems in primary against @SpeakerRyan. http://cognidissidence.blogspot.com/2016/07/paul-ryans-dishonorable-discharge.html?m=1 … #wiright #wipolitics

(Edit note: I have never once met or talked to Mr. Nehlen. As is par for the course, this accusation is made up).

Then Mr. Schact keeps it up:

Nathan Schacht‏@SchachtNathan

.@Dailytakes, looks like @pnehlen has been a bust at fundraising. At least we won't have to see him on real TV.






Only in right wing world does half a million dollars make someone a "bust". However a quick look at Mr. Ryan and we see why his peers and owners like to consider half a million dollars a "bust".

Ryan raised $15.6 million in second quarter through joint fundraising committee

House Speaker Paul Ryan raised nearly $15.6 million in the second quarter of 2016 through his joint fundraising committee dubbed “Team Ryan.”
The operation has now raised $37.9 million since Ryan became speaker Oct. 29, according to the campaign.
The joint fundraising committee includes Ryan for Congress, the National Republican Congressional Committee and Ryan’s leadership PAC, Prosperity Action PAC Inc.
Ryan’s campaign said he:
*has transferred $25 million to the NRCC since becoming speaker, including $5.4 million in June. That transfer is the second largest by a GOP speaker, trailing only the $6.3 million he sent the NRCC in March.
*sent 83 checks to members of Congress during the second quarter totaling $425,000. He’s now given out more than $735,000 since becoming speaker through 147 donations to members.

RightWisconsin‏@RightWisconsin

FEC Filing, Q2 #wi01, Paul Ryan. Raised: $1,425,611 Spent: $1,751,760 COH: $9,751,503

Paul ryan is setting records on fundraising, and has 10 million dollars in the bank already. Someone really, really wants him to be back in office. Even at tens of millions of dollars, he is a good investment for his owners on Wall St.


That is also why Democrats must cross over. 

If Ryan wins the primary what do you think will happen to whoever wins the Democratic Primary? They will be buried in money with ads telling us how badly Paul Ryan wants to creat jobs and this time he really will...honest!


By the way remember when the family man, Paul Ryan would only take the Speaker job if he got to spend time with his family?

What has the guy who adamanatly opposes the Family Leave act been doing with his time?

Ryan earlier this summer unveiled his multi-plank policy agenda "A Better Way." He spent the entire week before the convention talking about it on TV appearance and to reporters on the Hill, and he'll continue to advocate for it in the coming weeks.
Ryan has hosted over 71 delegation-driven events across the country in 43 cities and 18 states, all while juggling being home with his family in Wisconsin on the weekends. His team says they're just getting started.

Notice the one thing that seems to be missing from his schedule?

If you guessed "HIS JOB" then you guessed correctly and you get a fabulous no-prize(unless you vote for Paul Nehlen, then everyone wins).

Scott Walker Continues To Flout the Law

From Mark Pocan:

Madison, WI — On Friday, the Pocan campaign for Congress put a request into the Wisconsin Department of Administration for Governor Scott Walker’s air travel from June 4 to September 5, following a previous request for the balance of his time as Governor.  Campaign staff personally delivered the request at approximately 10 a.m. Friday, September 5 and confirmation email was sent at 10:36 a.m. CST from the Walker administration.
At 1:33 p.m. EST/12:33 p.m. CST that same day, an allegedly independent, disreputable right-wing organization, Media Trackers, sent Representative Mark Pocan’s official office in Washington a request for his official travel schedule, through September 1.  That request came just hours after the Pocan campaign made the request of Governor Walker’s office.
“You’d think that a Governor who’s flirting with his second John Doe investigation for his direct complicity with outside groups in an illegal scheme to circumvent campaign finance laws would be a bit less tone deaf to continuing to flirt with outside groups so flagrantly,” said Pocan. “I guess Governor Walker thinks his quest for the Presidency holds no bounds, and that’s pretty much what we’ve seen as we go through his travel records.”
Representative Pocan’s Congressional office immediately complied with the request, compared to Scott Walker’s seventy-day lag on the first open records request.
“Politicians like Scott Walker will do anything and say anything to get ahead, even to the degree of trashing our campaign finance laws and even common sense,” Pocan said. “It’s just too bad for the people of Wisconsin that Scott Walker appears to simply be using us on his real quest, for the White House.”
The Pocan campaign will be wrapping up its investigation of the travel records from Scott Walker in the next few weeks. There is considerable new information about Governor Walker’s limitless quest for the White House and travel that will come out from the new information.

Wow Scott Walker sends Mediatrackers to do his dirty work, who knew? 

Indefensible

 

By Jeff Simpson

H/T Jack Craver

Dale Schultz has had enough.   A lifelong republican legislator and part of a dying breed of true statesman can not handle the extreme storm that has taken over the current Wisconsin republican party!

“I am not willing to defend them anymore,” he explained when Salvia asked why Republicans sought to limit the number of voting hours a municipality could offer. “I’m just not and I’m embarrassed by this.”
 
“It’s all predicated on some belief there is a massive fraud or irregularities, something my colleagues have been hot on the trail for three years and have failed miserably at demonstrating,” he said.

 “It’s just sad when a political party has so lost faith in its ideas that it’s pouring all of its energy into election mechanics,” Schultz said. “We should be pitching as political parties our ideas for improving things in the future rather than mucking around in the mechanics and making it more confrontational at the voting sites and trying to suppress the vote.”

 “In the spirit of the champion of the 1957 Voting Rights Act, I have been trying to send a message that we are not encouraging voting, we are not making voting easier in any way, shape or form with these bills,” he explained. “Back in 1957 with the leadership of Dwight Eisenhower, Republicans were doing that. And that makes me sad, frankly.”

Schultz has even more to say, this time about the bill that makes it harder for victims of asbestos to sue:

Later, Schultz attacked a bill aimed at helping companies escape asbestos litigation that has been criticized by groups representing veterans, who account for a disproportionate number of those suffering from mesothelioma, a cancer linked to asbestos exposure.

“This bill is certainly a slap in the face at the very least to some of the people who gave some of the most vital years of their life in the service of their country,” he said.

That sound is Christian Schneider's head exploding since his job is defending the indefensible.  How long until Media Trackers has stories smearing Dale Schultz's good name?

Meanwhile, sign me up for the Dale Schultz for Governor campaign.  

 

Wisconsin's Right Wing "Media"

By Jeff Simpson

Everyone knows the turmoil that Scott Walker's budget despair bill brought to the State of WI in early2011.   Scott Walker shortly after being sworn in, decided to "drop the bomb" and completely switch course from all of his campaign promises and attack his enemies by outlawing public unions. 

The people of Wisconsin did not take this lightly. 



Despite the fact that Scott Walker never campaigned on ACT10 or any of the policies he rushed through, it is EXACTLY what he had intended to do:

   .

Luckily for Scott Walker, he has always had a well funded "media"(term used loosely) at his beck and call.  From Jsonline giving free reign to the Bradley Foundation's gopher Christian Schneider to the ridiculous mediatrackkkers and their racist writer Brian Sikma. 

However nothing better showcases how ridiculous they are then the current story of the Walker Docs.   A quick rundown of Walkerdocs.  There was a three year investigation into illegal campaigning activities of the Scott Walker administration while he was Milwaukee County Executive.  In the end, while Scott Walker was never charged with a crime(he did have to pay his TWO criminal defense firms he had on retainer $650,000 + to make sure of it) 6 of his top staffers were actually charged and convicted of various crimes.   Despite efforts by the Walker administration to stop the release of the documents collected during the investigation, a judge ruled that one of the felons - Kelly Rindfleisch, had to turn over all of her emails that she sent on county time and with county equipment.  

  These documents were released at the end of February 2014 and totaled approximately 27,000 pages.    In layman's terms, in this investigation, this one person(Rinfleisch) had 27,000 pages of evidence against her(she was convicted).   This is just a tip of the iceberg of the investigation and the results of one of the people being investigated among many.   The full set of these documents can be found here!  

Back to the story at hand - mediatrackers website has covered the full release of these #walkerdocs with exactly ONE story.   The story is a reprint of a two year old story trying to question the credibility of one of the investigators, who has 24 years of solid law enforcement experience, for allegedly having a "recall walker" yard sign in 2011.   Apparently 24 years of  exemplary public service means nothing if your wife does not like the current Governor.    

After that silly story , there is not a word written about any of the 15000 emails that were released.  Not. one.  word.    A few stories about how bad unions are and how Obamacare will destroy the world, but nothing about Scott Walker and his secret email system.   

However, go back in time two years ago and we find a "breaking news story" that they could not get out fast or loud enough.   Tom Barrett's wife, who is a teacher, sent three emails.   Two were to different representatives, asking them to vote against Act10 and one asking a few of her friends if they would be attending a protest.   

Then Sikma really nailed her good!   Kris Barrett, Tom's wife, was on one of his mailer's as supporting the Tom Barrett campaign(seriously he wrote that).   

With her husband Tom running as the Democratic nominee for governor, Ms. Barrett has already intentionally inserted herself into the political fray according to Politico. And on April 15, Ms. Barrett’s name was on a Tom Barrett campaign email entitled “Pink Slip.

 17,000 emails, 27000 pages = crickets
3 emails and endorsing her husbands run for office = major investigation!

Wisconsin Governor Promoted Walker Campaign With Gov't Email

 

By Jeff Simpson

The Governor of Wisconsin has been found using his official government e-mail address to promote the Scott Walker for Governor campaign. Walker is a Republican running againstMary Burke,  the Democratic Challenger. The news first emerged Thursday afternoon in my email box.. He is the Governor of Wisconsin, formerly the county executive of Milwaukee. According to the e-mail

Great Revenue Projections Show Reforms Are Working

We got some great news for all Wisconsinites this week.  The non-partisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau announced Thursday the State of Wisconsin’s general fund revenue is projected to be $911.9 million higher than previously anticipated.  This additional projected revenue is a sign Wisconsin’s economy continues to grow and add jobs, and it’s more great news for our hardworking taxpayers.

When we took office in 2011, we pledged to do away with the failed policies of the past and confront the fiscal and economic crisis we faced.  We made tough, but prudent, decisions over the last three years, and now our bold reforms are producing results for the people of Wisconsin.  While it is no doubt there will be people who want to spend the money, I believe it should be returned to the taxpayers.  My administration will work with the Legislature on the best way to move forward with our next tax relief plan. 

The days of billion-dollar deficits and double digit tax increases are over, and we have led ourselves into a new era of financial responsibility and continued investment in Wisconsin’s priorities.  Our state is heading in the right direction, and together, we are moving Wisconsin forward.

(Edit note- Scott Walker is lying)  


The campaign e-mail, which includes "office of the Governor" invites recipients to watch the State of the State address next week on his other campaign website that is paid for by taxpayers "prosperity.wi.gov ".

It appears the e-mail targets donors and adoring press, explaining that attendees can, “hear Scott's ideas about the ways we are moving Wisconsin forward.” at the event.

It is unknown just how many donors and adoring press got the e-mail from Lindgren; though it is clear that some recipients who received the political solicitation were outside of the state he leads.


An archived video of the Governor shows that he promised a "floor" of 250,000 jobs which he has fallen woefully short of.

 A career politician and a candidate for both state and local office herself, Walker knew exactly what he was doing when he explained his strategy to his boss:

 Scott Walker should have known that what he was doing was against ethics and campaign laws when he seriously considered adding violence to the peaceful protests in the Capitol.

The State of Wisconsin should understand that the only people who actually "drop bombs" are terrorists who are trying to harm you:

 
With the help of TWO of the countries top criminal defense firms(and a few hundred thousand dollars), Scott Walker was able to avoid charges in the first John Doe hearing.  Now there is a second John Doe investigation into Walker's perpetual unethical and unlawful behavior.  What happens next to Scott Walker  now appears to rest in the hands of Federal and state Prosecutors.  

Twenty Questions for the Kedzies!

We ll know the story of Senator Kedzie's son getting beat up for having a Romney/Ryan sign in his yard!  How could we not really, since Senator Neal Kedzie was announcing it to anyone who would listen! 

Heck the good Senator Kedzie even coordinated with the Romney Campaign to make sure everyone knew how dangerous liberals could be. 

The problem with the whole story, besides the fact that Senator Kedzie saw his injured son as a political prop, is that the story just was not true! 

Here is the Whitewater Police Report:

WOW does that leave us open to some questions!  

1.  Has Paul Ryan called since to check and see how Sean is?

2.  Why did the Whitewater police never take the political motivation serious?

3.  Why would Sean kedzie drop the case after being beaten up so badly?

4.  Since Sean dropped the case on 12/4 and it is 12/11 where is the press release from Senator Kedzie saying that the case was dropped?

5.  Where is the apology to the liberals of WI for being falsely accused?

6.  Where is the public apology to Max Hey, who is innocent?

7.  Why was Max Hey the first "Max" that came up when he typed his name into facebook?  When you type a name into facebook the names that you are using the most, come up first!  

8.  Why was Kedzie adamant that Max Hey was the one, when there was no evidence and he admitted to not seeing the person who did it?

9.  Why was Kedzie stalking Max Hey at his job?

10.  Are there any similarities between Sean Kedzie and Kyle Wood?

11.  Will anyone on the right issue a retraction? 

12.  Seriously will they? 

13.   Who gave Sean his haircut and shave?  why? 

14.  Has Sean pissed people off on campus? 

15.  Had Sean been drinking?

16.  Why would someone who "cracked the case" on facebook, suddenly disappear from facebook?

17.  What was in it for Senator Kedzie?

18.  What was in it for Sean Kedzie?

19.  In the end between wasted police investigations, and sneding out press releases on the taxpayer dime, how much did the Kedzie family cost the taxpayers?

20.  What the hell happened?

How Right Wing Sausage is Made

Science Fiction Writer and WPRI paid hack Christian Schneider wrote a fable the other day, one of his best pieces of work. 

Beaten for being a gay republican!  Over 1300 words of pure republican bliss!

The story however had one major tell:

To date, Wood has been reluctant to talk to any media, especially on-camera.   “I’m not going to win Princess Kay of the Milky Way or anything anytime soon, I look a little rough,” he joked.

Wood was reluctant to talk to the media because he knew he was lying, however his fake story had to be told so he chose people who were NOT the media.   Schneider of course, The Daily Caller and mediatrackers for some examples to make sure and get their message out to as many people  as possible before the house of cards fell!

This was yet another great example of how the echo chamber works.  They make up a story and a couple people run with it, allowing fellow paid and unpaid hacks to repeat repeat repeat!   Wisconsin reporter, Crazy Fred Dooley , Alpha Male Randy Hollenbeck and  Boots and Sabers(owen deleted the story like it never happened- no apologies or retractions) to name a few!   

This was an excellent example of the republican noise machine.

* Make up a story.

* Get it out there to as many people as possible in the 24 hour news cycle(shame on the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for giving Schneider a forum).  Extra credit here for being incredibly upset and emotional about this story!

*  When story is proven to be false, either pretend you knew it all along or pretend nothing ever happened.

* Lather, Rinse, Repeat!   

This is how right wing sausage is made, and it is as ugly as regular sausage!  The thing to know is when there is a story spreading through the right wing blogosphere and hate radio squawkers, wait a couple days for the actual truth to come out! 

PS:   In case your wondering about how Schneider addressed his ridiculous fable as being false.  He amended his 1300+ story to add this at the end.

UPDATE: on October 29, Wood recanted his allegations to the Madison Police Department.

Yes he is THAT dishonest!


Much more on this story here and here!
