local right-winger gerry mann got into a much-blogged-about exchange with rep andré carson recently. mann was soon revealed to be a blogger, who'd written, among other things, that obama is "not only a Marxist and a crook; he is also a raciest (sic)".

today, the blog is gone, as an embarrassed mann is apparently trying to erase his tracks. but google has a cache, which—for now at least—still has his writings available for view. for example, here's a screencap of his controversial post titled "what's obama's problem?" (click for a larger version):


pretty incendiary stuff.

p.s. while we're on the subject of blog deletions, i was curious to discover recently that hoosiersforfairtaxation has gone invite-only. this struck me as odd, considering how melyssa always loved to gloat about how much traffic she got. i can't say i'll miss it, though. ¶

You didn't get an invite from Melyssa? Me either! I'm crushed! ¶

I think it's hilarious Gary Welsh is pointing to Shella reporting this basic fact as evidence of Shallow Shella's leftist tendencies. Really. This must have struck a nerve with them - you shouldn't call attention to their online rantings. ¶

Cockroaches scurry for cover when you turn on the light... ¶

looks like gerry has another website: http://www.actionforfreedom.org/

it's not quite as crazy as his personal page. ¶

on the bright side, gerry's letter to president bush about the best solution to the immigration problem is still online! (it's a pdf.) ¶
