ANOTHER ONE wants to fight. (*SIGH* *SMH*)
This site is a wee bit opinionated. We don’t mince words. We don’t sugar-coat. As a result, some folks tend to get upset with us. Some folks say ugly things in public forums. Some people challenge us to fights. Here’s the latest, um, “love note” from one of Dallas Woodhouse’s “warm bodies” — Mecklenburg County NC House candidate Ty Turner (R):
*Isn’t that special?* Of course he transitions from that vulgar invitation right into talking about what a good Christian he is. Shades of Bob Steinburg.
The whole telling-me-how-big-he-is sure sounds like an attempt at physical intimidation. (For what it’s worth, someone standing 6’1” would STILL have to LOOK UP to make eye contact with me.)
In the Facebook video, ol’ Ty says we tried to “smear” him — and says we need to talk less about his past and more about what he’s doing in the future. (How we’re supposed to know what he’s doing in the future, I don’t know.)
We found only one previous mention of Turner on our site. We mentioned his recent past as: (1) a Democrat Party official, (2) a Democrat legislative candidate, (3) an employee of Planned Parenthood, and (4) an LGBTQ activist. (Turner even refers to himself as a “queservative.”)
Later in the video, Turner admits everything we said was TRUE. (So, where’s the “smear”?)
NCGA Republican “special counsel” Brent Woodcox tried something similar. Except — we hadn’t ever even mentioned him prior to his offer to fight us issued via Twitter. I guess coming after The Haymaker is a great way to get yourself some publicity when your political ambitions are circling the toilet bowl.
Ol’ Ty’s campaign website is “expired.” *Soooooooo — it looks like things are going well for him.*
Turner was recruited by Woodhouse — who Turner refers to repeatedly in his video as “Newhouse” — to run against Democrat incumbent Mary Belk. Sadly, Turner has spent more time attacking his fellow Republicans on social media than he has criticizing his opponent or promoting his platform.
Here Turner is attacking the black Republican activist who got threatened verbally while working the polls in Charlotte the other day:
Let’s see. Derek Partee was approached at a polling place by at least three people — at least one brandishing a weapon — who allegedly repeatedly subjected him to the nasty n-word and other epithets and threats. The incident was caught on video and the culprits were arrested.
Here’s a picture of one of the goons who allegedly came after Partee:
There is no doubt about it, the North Carolina Republican Party has been filled to the brim with nuts and dolts. The Woodhouse era is perhaps the most embarrassing period in the NCGOP’s modern history. Hayes, Woodhouse, and the accompanying cabal have sold out the traditional conservative values in exchange for flashy and unsubstantive gloating. Not even the Democrats could produce this kind of a circus show.
Gee, what do you not like about the gay-boy candidates I recruit? Or the homosexual conferences I set up at state party headquarters? Next up, we will put the Log Cabin Republicans on the State Central Committee. We will have a gay ole party! Keep me and my figurehead, Robin, in power and you will see.
So it appears Dallas is working for the Democrats now if he encouraged this goon to run.
Lessee … how do you spell Constitution Party?
