When Democratic bloggers attack.
Minnesota has a very active blogging community. I'm not sure why, but I am fairly certain that it does not have to do with 9 month long winters (as much as Hugh Hewitt is certain that is the reason). I think alot of it has to do with the fact that when people in this state get politically active, they don't do it half-heartedly. We go all the way.
Michael Brodkorb is the proprietor of the blog Minnesota Democrats Exposed. Michael has been the bane of Minnesota Democrats for 2 years now. His sourcing within the Democratic Party has been so consistently good that he has been the subject of numerous attacks from lefties, including lawsuits. Michael is also a paid political consultant for Mark Kennedy's campaign and at one time he worked for the Republican Party of Minnesota. Michael even has a disclaimer on his blog that explains that yes he does work for Mark Kennedy, but he is not paid to write MDE. That has never been enough for the lefty bloggers in Minnesota, so some of them started digging into Michael's finances. They thought that they hit paydirt when they found a one time payment to him from Michelle Bachman's campaign. They were giddy at the thought that they had finally take the Minnesota Democrats Exposer down. One problem.....Michael did some digging of his own and what he found was explosive!
"The Center for Independent Media is spending at least $31,500 (7 paid bloggers x $4,500) to pay liberal bloggers in Minnesota.
This begs the question: who is funding Minnesota Monitor and the Center for Independent Media?
In the interest of full disclosure, I attempted to find the answer. "
Read Michael's entire post to see where the dots all fit in, but the short answer is GEORGE SOROS! That's right...George Soros is paying (thru multiple layers starting at MoveOn.org) 7 Minnesota bloggers to blog about progressive subjects and DFL talking points. Yet none of them have disclosure statements on their blogs. I wonder why that is?
Now a lot of things can be said about Michael....he is reactionary, he is a true believer, he is a party hack....but he is NOT a paid shill. It's a pity that his attackers from the left can't say the same.
