What Are You Afraid Of, Baron?

Seems after a certain smarta** blogger infiltrated the Baron’s town hall meeting in Seymour with a “media credential” and a tape recorder and posted it for all to hear, the Baron’s campaign has been in a tizzy over who gets to record the Congressman’s comments. At first it was “credentialed media” and now it’s “pre-registered media” - in other words - the left-wing MSM such as the Ryerson Rag and the Louisville C-J that isn’t afraid to line up and kiss the Baron’s ring.

Hoosier Access has brought you the saga of Indiana 9th District State GOP Chairman Larry Shickles and his request to have lie detectors at the Jasper debate. The latest is allowing the use of voice analysis. Now the Baron, using his court jester Dean Alan Johnson of Vincennes University, has pulled the plug and decided that, once again, his loyal MSM subjects shall be the only ones permitted to record the Baron’s likeness and voice.

9th District Chair writes:

“Baron’s friends have come to his rescue again.  I received an email today from Dean Johnson that said “recording devices (audio and video) are prohibited in the Jasper Arts Center auditorium. Only credentialed, pre-registered news media representatives will be permitted to record any portion of the event.”  This is the same person that was quoted in an AP story saying “we are not inviting negotiations from the candidates” regarding the use of lie detector equipment at tonight’s debate.  Dr. Johnson’s effort to relieve Baron of having to tell the truth tells me that an analysis of the debate tape from tonight may reveal some things Baron will be uncomfortable with.  What does Baron have to hide that he has to rely on his friends to come to his aid?”

Isn’t it convenient how the Dean’s words make it appear its the Jasper Arts Center that is prohibiting the recording? No. It’s the Baron’s rules. We have prior experience with his rules. I’m just waiting for the Baron’s loyalists to implement M.A.F.I.A. tactics and search attendees for any “wires”.
