WHY ARE GOP BLOGGERS SILENT?
Michael Brodkorb had his attorneys request that the judge in his lawsuit drop the gage order so that he could speak to the media. He immediately launched a strike at the Minnesota Republican Party and the Marriage Amendment. Although he claims he is still a Republican, his behavior borders on pure narcissism and self promotion. Brodkorb, climbed to political prominence through his thuggish behavior on his previous blog site, Minnesota Democrats Exposed.
It is my belief that Brodkorb is trying to use what ever leverage he believes he has to force the Minnesota Senate to settle his law suit before the November 6, 2012 election. He realizes that even if he goes to court after the election that two years is enough time for anyone he slanders to recover politically. Frankly, Brodkorb's threats to expose law makers in St. Paul who he claims have or have been previously involved in sexual relations with staff members or lobbyists is likely short on evidence that would hold up in court. Rumor and innuendo is only a receipt for libel lawsuits against Brodkorb himself.
What is the most interesting development of Brodkorb's public assassination of the Minnesota Republican Party is that Brodkorb's fellow GOP bloggers are silent. The same group of bloggers who never hesitated to attack me as "disloyal" for trying to get the GOP leadership to account for the millions that party bosses squandered, or violated GOP principles with their actions, or hold those who misused funds accountable are eerily quiet over the Brodkorb issue. What is apparent is that former party boss Tony Sutton and Michael Brodkorb have paved the way for a cataclysmic disaster in November for the MN GOP to lose control of the Minnesota House and Senate.
It is just my opinion that the reason we hear crickets chirping from GOP Bloggers is that they are scared to death of "Darth Brodkorb"! I have discovered that some GOP Bloggers have little to no integrity so I guess I shouldn't be overly surprised. Some bloggers, especially some of the founders of True North, have for many years been so afraid of Brodkorb that they silenced anyone who tried to expose him for what he truly was. Now that he is back, un-gaged and on TV, in the press and with a new blog they are soiling their underwear in fear of challenging him. Sadly, cowardice within the GOP blogger ranks seems to be a common trait.
Well, as the British orator Edmund Burke said in 1795: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil - Is for good men to do nothing" My guess is that I will receive more attacks for calling out these silent enabler's then any postings we will see taking Michael Brodkorb to tack for his attacks against the MN GOP. After all, many of them remained silent and allowed Brodkorb to climb the ranks of the MN GOP while knowing just how little character he possessed.
