I really don’t care that much about Andy Apilkowski. I hesitated devoting even one post to his racist ramblings, let alone two. But something he wrote yesterday caught my eye.
Fecker emailed me last week asking me to answer questions. I thought it was a joke and shared with some fellow conservative bloggers so we could all have a good giggle. We thought it would be fun to needle this tool. So we came up with a bunch of ridiculous statements even a Strib Editorial boarder would realize was a complete joke and discard. We even threw in a few fabricated rumors to get the ho ho addicted liberal hatchet grinder paid by Soros to make a few calls to confirm and realize he’d wasted his time.
I did alert the proper GOP leaders about the ordeal , and only one person was remotely concerned. A person who gives these hacks too much credit in my opinion.
Is Apilkowski really claiming that he cleared his interview with state Republican leadership? If so, I really would like to know who in the Republican Party thought this was a good idea.
If Andy is telling the truth, then his claims about the incompetence of the state Republican Party are spot on. Anyone who would talk to Andy Apilkowski does not belong in professional politics.

trust me, no one takes Andi seriously. He and his blogging cronies think they are cute…I have heard that Andi is dealing with some mental “issues” — but, still no excuse for his racist tirade.
he is an embarassment to Republicans. No one in GOP circles gives a crap what he thinks….they just laugh at him and shake their heads.
sad, really.
Andy’s claiming he alerted people to this. I do not believe that he got approval - and in a later post he says he didn’t get approval. However, since he is a district chair, I think people in his district should be concerned about this interview.
One of the blogging crownies is Mitch Berg from the NARN and Shot in the Dark owns up to being part of this “prank”. Berg is linked from the State GOP website. http://lloydletta.blogspot.com/2007/05/mitch-berg-helped-develop-aplikowskis.html
Kevin Eckernet - who is a deputy chair of GOP SD 37 also claims to be part of this. Chris Gerlach, the State Senator in that area should be asked to comment. Remember these bloggers are claiming group authorship of these racist rantings, then claiming they were all in fun, and we should lighten up, they were just “punking the soros bloggers”.
Eva,
Why should Chris Gerlach asked about something a volunteer supposedly claims to be a part of? Gerlach didn’t appoint the guy deputy chair. This little game of gotchya is pretty ridiculous.
This guy represents the Republican party in his district. This would be a whole different matter if Triple A and Kevin Eckernet didn’t hold party office at BPOU level.
Eva,
I completely disagree with you. A State Senator is not accountable for a vice chair of some BPOU. In fact, I would say that a State Senator represents the Republican party in his district more than some vice chair/volunteer.
This whole controversy is nothing more than a pissing match between DFL bloggers and GOP bloggers. It’s pretty lame actually.
“punked?”
Are Andi and his blogger buddies in 7th grade? Do they really look up to Ashton Kutcher and that lame show he had on MTV?
More evidence that bloggers are such maladjusted tools who got their asses kicked growing up.
They really “punked” everyone on this one.
The whole thing is pathetic and we should just continue to ignore them all going forward. Andi and his two bit blog will remain irrelevant.
I especially like the part where he jokingly said Norm Coleman is golden, no problem. That should’ve been our first clue the guy wasn’t serious. Anyway, Andy is a rotten fascist turd who the GOP ought to eject like yesterday’s gas station burrito.
Say Richard,
I had one of those gas station burritos yesterday. I must say that I did enjoy it and it has given me endless hours of Republican talking points coming out of my butt too!
“Anyone who would talk to Andy Apilkowski does not belong in professional politics.”
This explains why Jeff Feckless spends his time as a paid sock puppet dribbling out moonbat amphigory for George Soros Enterprises.
It’s not just Andy Aplikowski, it’s Mitch Berg. Berg acknowledged helping Andy come up with this racist “joke” (what’s funny about it)? Aplikowski’s blog doesn’t get linked by the state party. Mitch Berg’s blog does.
What do other NARN radio hosts/bloggers think about Mitch’s actions? I’m talking about folks in NARN like King Banaian, Michael Brodkorb and Captain Ed - all of whom are serious people who don’t engage in stuff like this.
Eva,
I honestly have a hard time figuring out why you are so worked up about this other than you are a blogger and Aplikowski & Berg are bloggers too. I wish you would put half as much energy into outrage over what people elected to political office and running for political office are saying. First, it’s much more offensive and second, those people are actually relevant. Aplikowski is just a volunteer (nobody outside of his area even knows him - you can count on that). I don’t know what Berg does in terms of volunteering for the party so I can’t comment about him. I think this whole controversy is stupid although at the same time I like the fact that MNPublius can’t find anything bad to say about anyone who is actually important in our party and has to get all outraged over someone nobody really knows.
