I don’t mind when Aberdeen’s anonymous Muslim-haters club cites me as a reliable journalistic source. I do mind when they misrepresent my political positions.
The “Americans First, Task Force” is using Rapid City PAC-meister Jordan Mason’s deceptive postcard to claim that I am among “some of Brown County’s biggest liberals” in endorsing Sheriff Mark Milbrandt for reëlection:
I will concede that Aberdeen’s crypto-Klan posted this claim on Thursday, the day before I responded to the Mason card by explaining that I have endorsed neither Milbrandt nor his opponent, Dan Kaiser, due to concerns supported by each candidates’ own statements that they are unable to enforce the law fairly on behalf of all Brown County residents. But AF,TF has had three days to read my disavowal of any endorsement and retract its inaccurate statement. Instead of acknowledging my refutation of this deceptive PAC card, AF,TF has left its false claim uncorrected at the top of its news feed.
As is their wont with their anti-Muslim propaganda sessions, the AFfy-TaFfies (shall we?) leap to believe outsiders instead of talking to their own neighbors to find out the truth. By clinging to this outsider falsehood, our local hate group further erodes their tenuous credibility.

What you call misleading, I call a lie
Whatever we call it, the AFTFers need to retract it, since it is false.
Of course it is false. Just like the false anti Muslim line these idiots trot out. They think that no one sees the Muslim support coming from trump, Israel and Wall Street. Israel and Saudi Arabia are joined at the hip with trump and the bankers. How can you be anti-Muslim and be in the republican party? The Sword Dance that trump did, is the calling to Allah by trump. When he grabbed that lighted globe with is Muslims brothers, was the corker. Where did trump go for his first state visit? Muslim Saudi Arabia. Which is where the reached over and grabbed the globe with his Muslim brothers https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/may/22/one-orb-to-rule-them-all-image-of-trump-and-glowing-globe-perplexes-internet This whole thing is just to fleece the goobers with more grift.
So Jordan and J.D. Boss Hogg are just wrong on thinking you support either of them.
How can anyone take an organization seriously that has a comma in the middle of its name?
Mr. H, these crypto-fellows did use a very attractive picture of you in their post cards. I had suggested before that if they were really out to stick it to that Sherriff gentleman they would have used the unibomber-like picture of you, or something less flattering. I know you said you didn’t have a favorite at this time in the County of Brown as the chief elected officer, but I bet if you sat down with both of the law enforcement people running and had a coffee and good breakfast you would find yourself in favor of one or the other.
I was thinking the same thing – that at least they chose a flattering photograph. The thing is – if you’re really trying to understand Muslims and other narrow-minded ideologies then maybe you should consider what free thinkers like Daniel Dennett have to say on the evolution of religion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tSLH345W_0
Flattering may be a relative term, but I’m not one to talk. I am a fan of all of Mr. H’s haircuts.
I am trying to understand why there is such a focus on Muslims in the county of Brown, and seemingly not as much in Pennington and Custer counties.
Liars gotta lie. However hard the Affy-taffies try (I like that Cory), they can’t keep up with pres Animal Sh*thole and his 6.5 lies per day rate. They’d have to talk A Lot more.
Dave, I’ve been laughing at their superfluous punctuation all along, as well as their inability to come up with an original name for anything they do. Every project they’ve launched has involved taking some specious name aping whatever positive community group they are trying to discredit. Of course, from a SEO perspective, they’re pretty smart, horning in on the Google Juice of the good organizations, tricking people into coming to their websites, and thus weakening the brand of the organizations they are attacking.
Still no retraction: the Affy-Taffies still have their false claim about my “endorsement” up as their lead post on their Facebook page. I’d comment there, but they’ve blocked me. So much for being an “educational” organization.
Grudz, the peddlers of these anti-Muslim rallies have found better receptions in smaller rural towns where there are fewer minorities. It could be that xenophobia is most intense in places where the xenos stand out more because they are growing from 0% to some single-digit percent and the community is going through its first real browning pains. Sioux Falls, while far from a paragon of happy pluralism, has already seen its first influx of minority immigrants, has seen that they don’t bring the apocalypse that the Affy-Taffers predict, and thus don’t offer the fearmongers as receptive or generouse audience.
I am not convinced morning coffee would sway me to either candidate’s side. It might only confirm that I want a redo and a chance to recruit another nominee.
