There’s a recent entrant into the blogosphere that seems to have a particular point of view that we’ve heard before. Southdakotawatchdog.org, comes from Nick Reid, manager of the Gordon Howie campaign in 2014, and who also served as statewide field organizer for the ill-fated Amendment V, which tried to use a change in the constitution to hide party affiliation on the ballot.
Over the past couple of months, the website has been active featuring trains of thought that we’ve heard before such as how Annette Bosworth was wronged, but is now vindicated, how supposedly the Attorney General “let a pedophile rapist off,” even though the AG actually didn’t prosecute the case, etcetera and so on.
(Did I mention they really don’t like the Attorney General?)
Too much of it seems to be the same silliness that was barfed forth on social media in the lead up to the Bosworth trial. It seems to be less about being an objective watchdog, and more about being an attack dog.
Stay tuned.
“It seems to be less about being an objective watchdog, and more about being an attack dog”.
Stay tuned For what ?
A very very slimy attack dog. All I need to know is that Nick was Gordon Howie’s campaign manager. That says it all.
Mr. Howie is the original insaner than most over-godder in South Dakota.
Meh. He only pretends at piety.
He’s helping the Noem camp. Why would they go so nasty unless they are losing this race?
And this site is giving it oxygen.
Agreed. It’s been going on for a while and no one read it. Why give it any kind of attention?
Wow- Nick Ried is becoming the new poster child for gutter politics. The stuff he did in the Howie race was crazy enough, but now he has amped it up even more. I wonder if he has a superpac set up like he did for Howie to run the attacks through so Noem can keep her fingerprints off of it.
Its a 527 type deal. The rotten egg launcher
She’s all in.
