THANKS!b Thank you for writing about this issue. Due to the nature of the conditions that affect the gastrointestinal system what we face is rarely talked about. If we had pay toilets on street corners as they do in Europe (ie the market was providing for the needs of these individuals and everyone else!) we wouldn't have to legislate things like this.

A paid blogger who says he doesn't even know who is paying him. It is hilarious to watch a Soros sock puppet question the credentials of anyone else…hahahahaaa!

You make some strong points in your article They are weakened by mentioning the Bachmann affiliation. The Bachmann consultant gig is the most extreme politician Brodkorb's been affiliated with.

I'll agree with you that Brodkorb should be taken to task for this one - and his commenters on the subject have been appalling - and Brodkorb doesn't screen commenters, but does have some responsibility to elevate the dialog. King Banaian has commented about the same legislation, but hasn't reduced himself to the level of "freedom to poop".

Aren't you also a paid blogger?

Well, yes and no. Brodkorb is identified as such because he is not just a blogger, he also has and will be again a paid consultant to various GOP candidates, as well as the Minnesota GOP itself. Brodkorb's lack of independence is part of this story. I also could have noted his paid work for Kennedy, his paid work for the RNC, and so on, and so forth, but I didn't feel I needed to belabor the point.

I'll agree with you that “Freedom to Poop” is overboard However, the fact that Brodkorb had a one-time consulting gig with the Bachmann campaign in 2006 is irrelevant to this story.

If Brodkorb's fan club really cared about disabled people rather than mocking them.... They'd make some donations to the Crohn's and Colitis Federation of America Minnesota Chapter:

Here's the deal: I'll personally match the first $100 the Brodkorb fans put up as donations for the CCFA Mn chapter. Let's see them put their money where their newly-found professed compassion is.

Flash will be the fiscal agent. Whatever he receives (and you folks know where to find him) by March 10, I'll match up to $100.
