One Really Bad Clean-Up Job

As I keep advising Republicans at all levels of government, remember that Democrats can access the internet too.  Today's violator:  Minnesota State Senate candidate Mike Perry.

Local bloggers are reporting that Minnesota State Senate candidate Mike Parry removed more than 43 racist and homophobic tweets from his Twitter feed after progressives began researching and responding to him. The Minnesota Independent highlights one of Parry’s scrubbed tweets, which was apparently directed at President Barack Obama:
The day after the New York Times published an editorial on the Matthew Shepard Act and a week after it was passed in the House, Parry posted a tweet stating “what’s with Dems and Pedophiles?” After winning the GOP’s endorsement this week, Parry aptly described himself as “pro-life, a Christian, a second amendment rights supporter, a hard worker and not politically correct.”

Not included in that description, the words "technologically savvy", "tactful enough to be in politics" or "even remotely intelligent."

Bonus points:  the GOP is backing Mike Perry anyway.  The Hoffmanization of the GOP continues unabated.
