Wasn’t this the same sort of thing that got Randall Beck sued by Dan Scott?
Doug Lund over at KELOland.com seems to be nudging up close to the same type of territory that got Argus Leader Editor Randall beck entangled in a lawsuit as filed by former Sioux Falls Development foundation director Dan Scott:
I always expect a certain number of readers to get their undies in a bunch whenever I post something political but the one on Al Franken being certified winner of Minnesota’s tight U.S.Senate race really struck a lot of nerves. Liberals must have something like a prayer chain in place and start calling each other whenever a blog appears that isn’t in lock step with their way of thinking.
“Hey Todd…ya see what Lund said about Franken on that lame blog of his today?”
“Yeah, Scott already called and I read it.”
“Really sad. He seems to think that left wingers tend to be elitist and condescending creatures who only like to hang with others of like opinion and equal education.”
“Did you see that he called “Air America” defunct?”
“Oh, yeah. I sent an anonymous comment calling him on it..and suggested he was too dumb to know what the word defunct meant.”
Read that here. And if you continue reading, one of the people “allegedly” poked at in the column has already taken notice:
Doug:
I’ve not written one word about Al Franken winning the U.S. Senate race. I have never made fun of people who go to vocational schools. I have never made fun of your drumming.
This is all in your imagination.
My opinions are fair game. But making up stuff about me isn’t. There’s plenty to pick on that’s on the record that I’ve written so you don’t have to make up stuff.
I’m disappointed in you. Seriously, I am. I thought you were conservative but not a mean spirited person. I still hope I’m wrong.

Hmmm….. You’d think Doug would know better considering how extensively KELOland has covered the Beck/Scott lawsuit.

I’m going to suggest that Lund and I take meditation class together. Might make us both a little more serene.
Namaste.

When 25 precincts have more ballots than registered voters, and a ballot box shows up in a trunk of a car. This kind of stuff should make every person in the US mad as he–.
Either party guilty of this should be held accountable, our Country is going down the drain if this crap is allowed to continue.
Yeah, if you just listen to Rush, you’ll get mouth-frothing mad feasant. That’s his game plan. But if you actually decide to follow the facts, you might get a different picture of things.
Minnesota polls have a pretty clean system, actually.
That, and Franken was confirmed by mostly Republicans. Talk about a Right-Wing conspiracy!
What the hell is all this about and why should anyone care? A couple of light weights going at it and arguing about God knows what…
One of the worst posts that I’ve ever read. News must be slow today.
I hope Franken is wildly successful just to prove these armchair journalists wrong.
