KSFY, really?? You are endorsing DakotaWomen?

Considering this is Holy Week I'm inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to KSFY's Morning Show hoping they had no idea what they were doing in endorsing DakotaWomen.com on their Morning Show yesterday. They featured Mandy Hagseth of DakotaWomen.com saying of her and her blogging friends… "I think this is so great!"  ((I am glad to see DW moving out of the realm of anonymity as they are now more accountable to their slanders.)) This from KSFY (use the link above to see the video of the segment)…

Do you suppose they'll endorse VoicesCarry? Maybe those reading this should drop KSFY a note and inquire.

Hagseth says DW takes a humourous and irreverent tone intentionally to contrast the inherent toxicity in politics. I'm sorry, their blog is the textbook definition of toxicity in politics. KSFY celebrated them as a voice for women but left out what they actually have said about scads of women who disagree with them on the only issue they care about - unbridled abortion. They are only a voice for women who think dismembering living children without anesthesia is a good thing. No mention from KSFY that this is a militant pro-abortion propaganda machine. Grandma's throughout the region watching the segment likely came away thinking… aren't these nice bright young girls. Hardly. They spew hate and vitriol, Grandma, you'd be shocked at what comes out of their mouths.

Nevermind the middle school level name calling (douche bags, a__holes, etc) that the DW call male legislators like myself, Roger Hunt, Manny Steele or how they dub other activists for women like Leslee Unruh things like "whore" or worse. And nevermind how shockingly cruel and callous they are toward women who say abortion hurt them. Surely it's in ignorance that KSFY smiles at those who refer to women legislators like Sen. Phyllis Heineman as Syphillus Heineman (I won't repeat the levels of nasty they go to in talking about Sen. Shantel Krebs or Rep. Kristi Noem). Yet, KSFY says about DakotaWomen,"you guys are very well-spoken and smart." It's disappointing how they have bestowed a false sense of legitimacy to these crass talking Tonya Hardings of our state's blogosphere.

It was curious to me KSFY also left out the enormous little detail that one of the four writers of DW is the newest and youngest member of our State Senate, Angie Buhl. Obviously I've continued to blog after getting elected yet unlike them I've expunged nothing from my site. So I hope Sen. Buhl continues to write the type of things she's written these last few years at DakotaWomen.com as her immature and unprofessional alienation of the thirty of the thirty-five members of the Senate will ensure she isn't able to pass so much as gas in that chamber, or so I'm told by my colleagues in the Senate.
