The Right’s Increasingly Pathetic Attacks Against Tim Walz, Explained
Rolling Stone ^ | 8/28/24 | Tim Dickinson

From "stolen valor" to petting the wrong dog, your guide to MAGA's bumbling attempts trash the Democrats' salt-of-the-earth VP candidate

With his selection as candidate for vice president, Tim Walz has burst onto the national political scene as one of the most folksy and estimable Democratic standard bearers in recent memory.

Yeah, I read it in the 70s. They all but guaranteed me that if Reagan was elected we’d all die in a nuclear war. I voted for Anderson because I allowed myself to belief their crap reporting then.

Some things never change.

Except I, of course, came to realize their evil ways.

Tim Dickinson is an American political correspondent. Based in Portland, Oregon, he is a contributing editor to Rolling Stone. His article “Machinery of Hope” about U.S. president Barack Obama’s 2008 political campaign was anthologized in The Best American Political Writing 2008 (Public Affairs). His other work includes six years as an editor of Mother Jones magazine, and as a writer for Outside, Wired, and local San Francisco magazines.

The poster child for white privilege.

The Rolling Stone resorting to ever more preposterous brain farts in their desperation to be apologists for the left.

So why is it even published and quoted?
It seems to be a publication written by brains damaged by drugs, trying to squeeze one cogent thought from their rapidly aging neurons.

Walz is an enthusiastic member of an ultra-left Evangelical Lutheran Church in America parish!
