OK folks, you all give the Soros rent-a-bloggers FAR too much credibility.

OK, so here’s my backstory for y’all.

Fecker emailed me last week asking me to answer questions. I thought it was a joke and shared with some fellow conservative bloggers so we could all have a good giggle. We thought it would be fun to needle this tool. So we came up with a bunch of ridiculous statements even a Strib Editorial boarder would realize was a complete joke and discard. We even threw in a few fabricated rumors to get the ho ho addicted liberal hatchet grinder paid by Soros to make a few calls to confirm and realize he’d wasted his time.

I did alert the proper GOP leaders about the ordeal, and only one person was remotely concerned. A person who gives these hacks too much credit in my opinion. After Fecker didn’t reply with a profane, ha ha you jerk kinda response, to my humorous answers, I had a good laugh, and realized he thinks I am serious. So I requested to see a draft before publishing so I could make sure he caught the snark and correct the anti-Republican Soros funded spin.

I was told the piece was supposed to run on Sunday, so when there was nothing when i got back from the cabin, I figured a few synapses fired through the powdered sugar cloud in the guy’s brain or even better his “editor” realized the prank. Well, today, the draft arrived in the INBOX, and i realized they bought the prank hook line and sinker. So I requested a few changes be made for accuracy and so that we could both be satisfied with it.

Here is the version of the email ‘interview’ that I would say is more representative of my real views. but again, everyone, this is part of a joke intended to expose the rent-a-bloggers for what they are, anti-Republican Soros funded DFL hacks. They are not a news organization by any means, and what they do is far from reporting.

Now this is Fecker’s original draft he sent me today with slight changes made by me that I requested be made, and he did not refuse.

Aplikowski: “Politics is a business, and the parties have to run that way.”

Andy Aplikowski may seem like an unlikely figure to be in the vanguard of a Republican party insurrection. The son of a former mayor, Aplikowski was one of the bloggers at “Kennedy v. the Machine,” a blog set up in support of Mark Kennedy’s unsuccessful 2006 run for Senate. He even rode along with Kennedy in the waning days of the campaign on the ‘Honest Answers, Real Solutions’ RV tour. He was also the founder of Bachmann v. Wetterling, which supported (now) Congresswoman Bachmann’s campaign. He’s an unrepentant conservative, and he’s been hard on those he perceives as too liberal and too RINO. He’s even taken a few shots at this magazine and elected Republicans who don’t vote the way he wants.

But Aplikowski is part of a growing wave of discontent among GOP faithful, borne of the fallout from the disastrous 2006 elections. While some within the party have simply shrugged and suggested that it was just a DFL wave, or that this really is a blue state, Aplikowski has taken harsh shots at State GOP Chair Ron Carey and the leadership of the Minnesota GOP, both on the pages of his blog and at internal GOP meetings.

“Debate is good for politics, especially amongst our own sides” said Aplikowski in an interview with Minnesota Monitor. “Cowards who hide behind the 11th commandment, spew dime a dozen lazy compliments, and stab you in the back anonymously need to be held accountable.”

Aplikowski was clear on who he blamed for the party’s failures in 2006.

“Ron Carey. Pure and simple. No two ways about it,” he said when asked about the main factor in the GOP’s defeat last year. “I would challenge him to a duel if I could,” he quipped.

Aplikowski was withering in his criticism of Carey and his regime, and said that his side has support.

“The grassroots, and the people on the Central Committee who aren’t simply rubber stamps finally see not only what a tool Carey is, but what a dismal mistake it was to elect him in 2005,” he said. Aplikowski doesn’t directly blame Carey for a last-minute anonymous hit piece against him that derailed his Vice Chair bid, that would have put him on the GOP State Executive Committee, but joked. “I’m not going to name names, but let’s just say they think they get the ‘final word’ on everything,” he said.

Aplikowski indicated that he was supportive to the candidacy of Lt. Col. Joe Repya for Chair of the GOP, saying, “I admire the Colonel and think he’d be a good Chairman.” While he thought Repya’s recent absence from the state while serving in the military, might be used against him, he said, “If it is a Repya vs. Carey choice on their leadership plans and record, Repya it is.” However, he hinted that another candidate for GOP chair might be in the wings.

“There’s a dark horse that some of us insiders are talking about now – an insider, a big national money connections, plus a huge national and local media presence, and a reputation as a get it done guy and a giant-killer. The kind of guy we need to take on that slimy trial lawyer you guys have.” Aplikowski added cryptically, “Some people I know in both the grassroots and the Central Committee are feeling a powerful pull.”

Aplikowski said that the GOP needs to find its voice, and look to business for ideas on how to craft its message.

“Politics is a business, and the parties have to run that way. McDonald’s doesn’t kick Burger King’s ass by saying Castro eats Whoppers, so Burger King sucks. They sell their juicy beefy goodness and ‘freedom fries’ with positive messages and images. ‘Smiles served daily’ works!”

Aplikowski said that he hoped a revitalized GOP could achieve “Total, crushing victory. The DFL would be filing for bankruptcy by 2012 and selling off their office furniture.” While that may not be possible, Aplikowski thought that at the very least, change would be good for the GOP.

“Throw the bums out,” said Aplikowski, adding that it was time for the GOP to “get what you lefty bloggers would call a ‘hacktackular’ new start with things.”

Compare that to what was published, and you should be able to see the sparks flying off the hatchet from the grinder. This “magazine” as Fecker referred to it (honestly, that is what he called it), is nothing more than a DFL rag. Objective journalists, my arse.

Now everyone can see what a hack this guy Fecker and Mini Money are. They make O’Brien and the Strib look fair and balanced. They have no ability to report news, and are simply what I said they were to Fecker in the early stages of this email ‘interview’ DFL hacks.

Lighten up everyone on the right. Mini Money is a joke, and the fact that you’re scared of them scares the crap out of me. I certainly hope Republicans aren’t too busy piddling in the corner in fear of the hack liberals to worry about propelling conservative ideas. Its time to expose the fraud known as Mini Money, and well, here, we got the ball rolling. The Soros conglomerate created this for one reason and one reason alone, to meddle with our 2008 RNC convention.

As one of my co-cospirators reassured me early on, had the party dealt with these tards early on, we wouldn’t have to do it now.

There’s more fun to be had at Fecker’s expense, so I won’t blow the whole deal. But I think some people on the right need to seriously lighten up. You give these hacks far too much credit to be scared of this crap. And you’d be far better served joining in exposing liberals for the hacks they are, no matter if they hide behind a phony code of ethics.

Fecker left out a lot of very pro-Republican content, because it did not suit his needs and fit his agenda. A paid political operative is an operative all the same. What they say is tainted by the money that pays for their words and where it appears, and it can no longer be trusted as objective. I don’t care who pays who, when a blogger takes money to blog, they obviously have sold their objectivity and credibility as well.

I don’t think Ron Carey was a good MNGOP Chair, and I don’t think he should be reelected. That should be no surprise to anyone. The entire point of this was to expose that these lefty bloggers and operatives far too often get away with calling themselves moderates and impartial when they are fringe leftists hell bent on pushing their agenda.

Unless we on the right can deal with that, we’re screwed, because MoveOn is actually taken seriously now by far too many. If someone doesn’t expose the Mini Money hacks for what they are, so they won’t be taken seriously by voters, um, well, we’re screwed come November 2008, who ever is Chair. They are trying to create a new media outlet that fools people to trust what they say.

I guess I am not willing to sit by and let that just happen under my nose.

Closed circuit to Eva Young: Stop calling me. Don’t ever call me again. I do not want to talk to you. I won’t talk to you. You’re an even bigger hack and clueless partisan hachet grinder than the Mini Money folks.
