On Black History, Black Panthers, Education, And A Minnesota Republican
A few weeks back in the midst of Black History Month, a poem was read over the public address system at East Ridge High School in Woodbury, Minnesota. The poem, “A Black Child’s Pledge,” was first published by the Black Panthers in 1968. Well, this prompted vice-chair of the Minnesota Republican Party, Kelly Fenton to take to twitter and the local newspaper to express her outrage that our schools were learning about all aspects of black history and demanding we only study those black people acceptable to her and perhaps other white people: Not long after the poem was read, Twitter comments began bubbling up from Woodbury community members, including Kelly Fenton, whose son attends East Ridge. “There are lot better examples and things that … Continue reading

But Chip, Nobody Cares What You Think Anymore…
Apparently, one term packsacker Chip Cravaack is going to end his term in style by teaming up with Michele Bachmann for a little bit of conspiracy theory driven politics… House Republicans, including Minnesota U.S. Reps. Michele Bachmann and Chip Cravaack, stepped up their campaign against U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice and comments she made immediately after the Sept. 11 attack on an American diplomatic compound in Libya. Here’s the problem, Chip, no one cares what you think about Susan Rice or anything else for that matter. It’s time to head back home to New Hampshire.

Dan McGrath Claims VOTER FRAUD Partially To Blame For Voter ID Failure
While McGrath claims money as the principle cause for the defeat of the Voter ID Amendment and spends many many paragraphs whining about how super awesome his message was and how super mean the opposition messages were, he doesn’t forget to add this little gem: Ultimately, money was the principle factor in the defeat of the Voter ID amendment. Initial post-election research now being conducted by Minnesota Majority indicates that voter fraud likely played a role, but voter fraud is only effective in a close election. It shouldn’t have even been close. Despite the defeat of the constitutional amendment, the people of Minnesota clearly support requiring photo ID to vote, but were misled to believe that the constitutional amendment was an egregious way to accomplish … Continue reading

Vern Swedin, Republican Candidate For MN Senate, Brags About Making Teenager Cry
You can read the background from Bluestem Prairie of MN State Senate candidate, Vern Swedin, who hilariously calls Democrats RATS and bragged about the time he made a young girl cry but I wanted to quickly share the video posted by the local newspaper, Owatonna Peoples Press: Let’s lighten up a little here, people. If we can’t celebrate our own intellectual brilliance by telling people about the time we made a young person cry without everybody getting all offended about it, then America really has lost its way. Making unsuspecting young victims cry while we feel morally and intellectually superior is what this country was built on, right? Don’t take that away from Vern Swedin! Apparently he needs it…
Kate Engstrom Videotapes Collin Peterson And Claims NO Connection To A Campaign AFTER Appearing In Byberg Campaign Video
Recently, a college student named Kate Engstrom from Concordia College and according to an article from May of this year is President of the College Republicans secretly videotaped Representative Collin Peterson about recently losing his endorsement from Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life. In the secret video, Peterson makes the claim that the MCCL has become an extremist organization… Instead, he was surreptitiously recorded on video saying a Minnesota-based anti-abortion group that pulled its support for him this year is “extremist.” The video, recorded Tuesday after an event on campus, shows Peterson addressing the loss of an endorsement by the Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life, an anti-abortion group that has supported him in the past. The group supports the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, and … Continue reading
