Minnesota Democratic Candidate For Governor Calls Reporter A “Whore”

Not just a “whore”, mind you, but a “Republican whore”.

Powerline has the scoop:

Hatch has been around for a long time, and he reminds me a bit of Richard Nixon. Hatch is reasonably able, but seems ill-suited to politics. He is not very likable, frankly, and seems to struggle constantly to restrain his volcanic temper. Yesterday, Hatch may have doomed his long-cherished hope to become governor when, in a burst of anger, he called a reporter from the Duluth newspaper a “Republican whore.”

He denies it saying it, of course (wouldn’t you?), but I’m not buying it. Why? Because I’ve seen that talk from the left more times than I care to count. If you agree with Bush on anything…even ONE thing…you’re a sheep, a whore…you name it. And Republicans aren’t the only ones they do this to, they easily and readily turn on their own. Take a look at any one of the top liberal blogs and see what happens when someone dares to agree with a Republican on anything. Yikes!

And they say the right is intolerant. Can you imagine the NATIONAL attention this would get if a Republican had done this?
