by Smitty Here is the evidence: In light of GeicoGate and the recent accusations from the media regarding the violent rhetoric of the conservative movement, I’ve taken the liberty of editing together the voicemails and emails we’ve received as a result of DC Douglas’ call to contact FreedomWorks.

Troubling News From Fitchburg, Mass.: If Scott Brown’s Lost Josh Romano . . .

In his new gig writing for the Examiner, Pete Da Tech Guy finds trouble at the corner market for the “41st vote”: We now know Brown’s price; $354,000.
