Right Nation featured an array of Illinois conservatives, office seekers, and elected officials and a few national figures such as Freedom Works chief Dick Armey, Wall Street Journal writer John Fund, ACORN Whistleblower Anita MonCrief, and Fox News commentator Glenn Beck. It also had a blogger’s row, as most of these events, left and right, now do.

The unethical actions perpetrated by these immoral leftists happened in the blogger’s room as John Fund was speaking to the handful of invited bloggers, myself one of those few. Fund began to speak to the bloggers about politics and elections in the closed room and as Fund began certain of his comments he asked us to keep his comments off the record.

Was told by at least 50 congressional press offices they’d return my call. Haven’t heard from one. You all are garbage.

Scott Keyes show prep for msPMS/DNC

The next morning, a video clip of the encounter was embedded in a blog post by Scott Keyes on the ThinkProgress.org site in which he accused Renacci of opposing a federal role in enforcing civil rights and “dangerous ignorance of both past and present civil rights issues.”

Then MSNBC’s “Countdown With Keith Olbermann” picked up the video clip that night. By Thursday morning, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), the campaign arm of the House Democratic Party, issued a statement on the case.

“Name one “

Was talking about voters, not politicians there.
