Assembly Democrat Campaign Efforts Take Major Blow

For months the Assembly Democrats have been touting Dana Schultz as their best hope to pick up an Assembly seat this fall and possibly to hold off the coming Republican wave that could switch party control of the legislature. Last week, her campaign hit a brick wall when the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel revealed what she really thinks of her would-be rural constituents.

In a blog she wrote while running the Milwaukee chapter of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), Schultz referred to the rural Wisconsinites from her hometown stating:

"I know all about the huntin, fishin, snowmobilin, country music beltin, beer drinkin, working class, gossipin, people who attend christian church every sunday and are racist, sexist, and homophobic, but more just ignorant because of lack of exposure." She wrote that she understands rural brain drain: "Why would people go back to face fatter and less educated Ann Colture's?"

Her blog goes on and on displaying an attitude towards rural Wisconsin that is all too common amongst the Democrat establishment.

These revelations about her core beliefs should be enough to end her chances at representing the rural 87th district. If they are not, I'm sure that more damning evidence of her animosity toward rural, working class people will come out of her work as the head of Milwaukee's SDS.

If you're unfamiliar with it, SDS is a Marxist organization bent on the "revolutionary transformation" of American culture and ending capitalism because it is the root cause of "racism and white supremacy,... patriarchy, heterosexism and transphobia, authoritarianism and imperialism."

If the best candidate the Democrats can come up with is a Marxist that thinks that the people she hopes to represent are racist, sexist, homophobic, and ignorant then they are in for a rude awakening this November.
