I spent months telling you all about Bob “Crooksy” Brooks. I told you how he stiffed his mother-in-law. I told you how he’s a religious radical and gun nut. I told you how he hates Barack Obama. I told you he’s a racist. I told you recently how his camp is getting aggressive lately with people. I’m going to be honest, this guy is by far the worst of the four people running. There were some people who said I was making things up or embellishing them. The truth was that I did neither.

Now the media is covering it too. MSN covered him being sued by his mother-in-law. Now the Washington Post is covering his racism and cultural radicalism. Last week, PoliticsPA covered how his campaign is hiding him because of his poor performances. Frankly, this should have happened months ago, but I’m glad they’re covering this.

There is a strain of thought that no one should say anything negative in a primary campaign. That’s stupid. There will be lots of negatives in a general election, regardless of how badly you don’t like that. It is better that these things reach the public early and are known ahead of nominating someone. If Bob wasn’t a candidate, none of this stuff would be relevant to public discussion. It’s relevant because he, and a few cynical folks who wanted him to run, got himself into this race. That was a mistake, and we need to make sure the public continues to hear about this information and knows it completely.
