**Where is Dee?**

Actually, she’s out knocking on doors, talking to actual voters, rather than some hack Chicago reporter.

dave: John Kass is a hack reporter like you know anything about anything.

This guy has been threatened by Rahm, the mob and other vile people.

You think he is a hack?

I could tell ou what that makes you, although Cal probably wouldn’t allow it.

You, sir, have confirmed that you are an idiot.

I don’t think he got his facts wrong when some of Richie Daley’s mob buddies talked to him one day about how they saw his kids playing in his front yard and how they should be kept safe.

And dave, any time you want to quit hiding behind your screen name while I put mine out there is OK with me.

ust because you think Kass is wrong doesn’t mean he is, no matter how often you say it.

So keep shilling for Dee and if she beats McSweeney, Cal and Andy Gasser will be proved correct.

And you’ll probably be working for Dee. T

he more you post, the more you prove out points.

Speaking of baseless claims — i.e. 80% of the posts on this blog.

@Paul- I have no idea what Daley thugs has to do with this conversation.

It makes for a nice tangent, but isn’t exactly relevant.

I don’t like John Kass as a journalist- I don’t think he is very good, and I think that he plays VERY loosely with the facts that he writes about.

He is also a one-trick pony, and he’ll write anhing to bash Madigan regardless if the narrative actually fits.

But we can disagree with that if you want.

I really don’t care.

But what I do think is silly is that Dee should be taking time to call an opinion journalist back about a silly, and, frankly, irrelevant question.

Speaker Madigan is going still be Speaker Madigan, whether Dee wins or not, and whether Dee votes for him or not.

‘m MUCH more interested in talking about the actual issues where McSweeney and Beaubien disagree.

But no one- and especially none of McSweeney’s supporters- want to do much of that around here, or in the media.

As for my screen name- I have my reasons for not wanting to use my full name, and I decfinitely don’t need to share those reasons with you.

But I will wait breathlessly for you to complain about all of those folks that are on your side that don’t use their real names.

Lets start with “what a laugh.”

You going to call that person out?

I am not sure what the rest of your post means…but I’m sure it is really inciteful.

And you can call it shilling all you want, but I support Dee because I think that she will be a vastly better state representative than Dave McSweeney.

I also think that most of the crap that McSweeney has been putting out about Dee is absurd.

Dee has actually run on issues (whether or not you agree with her stances or not), while McSweeney has run against Madigan.

McSweeney very well may win- it was and is an uphill battle for Deefrom the beginning.

I hope that Dee can pull it off.

The 52nd district, and the state of Illinois, will be better off it does happen.

And I’ll leave with this- I find it fascinating that so many of you McSweeney supporters resort so quickly to personal attacks about commenters that just happen to disagree with you.

So many of you have resorted to personal, sexist, and offensive attacks about Dee just because she dares to challenge an extremely conservative Republican nominee.

So keep up the personal attacks.

Ya’ll do it so well.

And it says a lot about all of you.
