Doesn’t make any sense to me, really.
White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is simultaneously Obama’s right-hand man (thus anathema to conservatives and patriots across southern Indiana) and he is the guy who steered Obama away from cherished progressive goals like the public option.
Why have him come to Bloomington to do a fundraiser?
It’s the worst of both worlds; it pisses off the lefties that Baron needs to volunteer and donate to his campaign and it inflames the conservatives elsewhere across southern Indiana that Baron needs to keep snookered and sleeping.

Dr. Owen Slaughter is the chief ER physician for Bloomington Hospital. Interesting that he supports folks like Rahm Emmanuel, Baron Hill, and by extension Barack Hussein Obama and their big government health care takeover plans.
Slaughter was a plant in Hill’s bogus townhall meeting last fall. Hill had a one hour meeting, and used 1/3 of it to babble his leftist sludge before taking questions. When the heat got to be too much for him, he “pretended” to answer a tough question by pointing to this doctor and said “Dr. Slaughter”. Hill said he had no plants in the audience, but Slaughter stood up and rambled on for nearly 15 minutes. This was carefully defined to diffuse the momentum of the opposition and consume time. So between Hill and Slaughter, about a half-hour was consumed. We’re going to protest outside of the Memorial Union Saturday. I think we should protest outside of the Slaughters house too.
Hmmmm… How appropriate is it that the fund-raising host’s name is “Dr. Slaughter” when he’s supporting a yellow dog democrat who voted for an abortion-funding healthcare bill?
Yeah, I was pretty sure that Slaughter was the doctor that spoke for the public option in Baron’s town hall, but I didn’t have time to go back and check the original video.
I note in the second line, the writer equates conservatives with patriots, thus implying that liberals/progressives are not patriotic. I would object to that. Liberals and conservatives may both be patriotic, just people who disagree on what is best for America.
And I have not heard a whimper of objection from Democrats about Rahm campaigning for Hill, again contrary to the article’s suggestion. Keep in mind, Hill is not only campaigning for re-election in 2010, but positioning for a run for Governor in 2012, probably against Todd Rokita, who is spending public dollars raising his name recognition. Aren’t conservatives going to object to THAT inappropriate use of tax dollars?
Scott can defend himself, but I don’t think his language goes as far as you suggest regarding patriot = conservative.
I would also suggest that the most likely Republican Gubernatorial candidate in 2012 is not Rokita. I can think of two other candidates who I think have a better chance.
You won’t find me defending Todd Rokita very often, and certainly not for his commercials that are campaign ads in all but name.
