North Carolina State Rep. Larry Brown from Kernersville sent a cute little email to Anglico of Blue NC. Blue NC is a site for NC Democrats and Rep. Brown is decidedly Republican so you it isn’t surprising that they don’t see eye to eye, but the Representative’s tone is a tad harsh. For those of you who don’t like to follow links here’s what Anglico wrote, followed by the Rep.’s reply:
Anglico: Dear Hard-Working Representative,
Following the recent convention of the North Carolina GOP in Charlotte, a number of Republican Representatives wrote to me, complaining that the Democrats in North Carolina really aren’t the majority party in the House because their candidates actually received more votes in 2006 than Democrats received. One of my colleagues recently completed an analysis of that talking point, which I am sure you’ll find interesting. Her report is posted here for your easy review.
Rep. Brown: I cannot tell you in a kind way what you liberals can do with all your waste that would make the hog lagoon issue look like a diaper. Enjoy while you can. Post that on your web page and come visit me anytime. Larry Brown
Ed Cone linked to this piece and in the comments of that post Anglico wrote this:
Two comments:
1. Nothing I sent to Larry Brown was disrespectful or rude in any way. I challenged the Republican talking point that they "really won" in 2006 and should be in the majority in the NC House. Mr. Brown apparently has trouble reading, or else he simply objects to anyone taking issue with his point of view.
2. Most offensive of all is Mr. Brown’s blatant and gleeful disregard for anyone in his district who has liberal political leanings. He wrote the following to me:

And this to one of his own constituents:
When you liberals try to send me a bunch of trash I respond. I did not initiate the exchange, but I will not yield one inch. I did not bully anyone or use foul language. You people can wallow in all your " votes for sale " attitude all you want, but I am not a part of your conspiracy to rob the citizens of North Carolina honest service.
All your buddies have not been sentenced yet. If Republicans take money for votes I want them to go to jail too. Get a real life. I am not coddling to a bunch liberal ideas either like lifestyles or sexual orientation. If you do not like it that is too bad. I am sure I will lose a lot of sleep over it.
BlueNC sent me an email and I answered just like I did with yours. If I never hear from you again, you will never hear from me. Have a nice life.
For Mr. Brown, a serious analysis of the facts on the 2006 election apparently qualifies as a "bunch of trash."
Gives new meaning to the term public servant, don’t you think?
In a way it’s kind of refreshing to see a politician not engaging in double talk and fence sitting, but on the other hand I’d kind of hope that a person who can vote on billions of dollars in state spending would be more thoughtful.
