Kemmick: earth haters hate Obama, too

Ed Kemmick might be Montana's Kevin Woster: Lee newspaper guys, lovers of life, and blogs in the paper. Ed's blog City Lights appears in the Billings Gazette. Woster has two in the Rapid City Journal where this interested party tries to keep up with both very different sets of commenters.

Ed sets his sights on the Montana GOP: the gun shop, bait shop, barber shop, SSS, alas, white, male people who would likely be more at home in Woster's Take It Outside. A horde of its members recently held an exhibition of race hatred at their state convention in Missoula where Newt Gingrich was the keynote speaker.

Here's a snip from Kemmick's piece:

The outhouse was labeled “Obama Presidential Library” and was riddled not only with bullets, but with juvenile graffiti of a type that would embarrass most juveniles. Some of the humor was just dumb and crude — “For a good time call 800-” followed by the names Michelle, Hillary and Pelosi — some of it all too common — the “birther” barbs aimed at the president — and some of it was just political, though uniformly crude and witless.

And:

This is all too reminiscent of the “funny” email forwarded by U.S. District Judge Richard Cebull. That email was also described by Cebull’s defenders as simple humor with no racist overtones. But as with the outhouse, the email hinged on the race of Obama’s father, and it threw the slut slur at Obama’s mother, just as the outhouse did at his wife.

Nadene: one of Ed's nemeses is Kevin Nelson, an Elkton boy and fellow St. Mary's alum. Kevin haunts the Billings city meetings where he often rails against Agenda 21 and rants about other anti-gubmint stuff analogous to our own Steve Sibson perhaps.

Winning the word war is essential for our side to keep the White House and the Senate and to retake the House. Montana will lose the election if earth haters win in that state.

Unless we Dems can mount an adequate defense against the Dark Arts we're fucked.
