Mike Doogan (AK Dem) equates "anonymous bloggers" with the KKK
http://shannynmoore.wordpress.com/2009/03/27/my-friend-mudflats/



“Democrat” Representative Mike Doogan just used his constituent email list and a state paid-for “newsletter” from his “Representative_Mike_Doogan@legis.state.ak.us” state paid-for email address to out the identity of Mudflats. Frankly, I would expect this from Meg Stapeton or Bill McCallister, not someone who claims to be a progressive. Mike Doogan has been a wanna-be Dave Barry for years. He mocks election integrity and community involvement. His schmarmy style has been described by his democratic colleagues as “impossible.”

(From the comment section, here is the email that he sent to a constituent who wrote to him):


Rep. Doogan,

My name is David Turnbull, and I am a constituent of yours. I just got your latest email newsletter and have to question your choice of revealing the name of the Mudflats blogger. What was the motivation behind it? Was it the stories she did on your emails a few months ago? Was it some sense of duty? I just don’t get it.

And my future vote does depend on your answer.

Thanks,
David Turnbull

My motivation is: I think the public should know who its is tearing strips off Sarah Palin every day. Not because I’m a big fan of Sarah Palin, but because I don’t believe in anonymity in the political area. It’s too much like people wearing sheets and hoods for my taste.
