Is this guy for real?

https://twitter.com/#!/ToddKincannon

I have trouble telling satire from the real thing these days, what do you think?

http://www.thekincannonfirm.com/todd

"Todd has served as General Counsel and Executive Director of the South Carolina Republican Party and has represented campaigns and other political groups at all levels. Todd has represented candidates for president, city council, and most everything in between. In addition, Todd has previously served as a member of the Republican National Committee by proxy, as Chairman of the Simpsonville Election Commission, and has held a variety of other public and private offices."

The guy is RW asshole. From his self-promo:

"South Carolina lawyer handling civil litigation, the occasional criminal case, and election law on the GOP side."

From Santorum to Limbaugh, the pattern of hate and venom is pretty clear. O'Reilly, Hannity, Beck…yeah, it seems to work.

I argued with him this morning after he called a private citizen a "fat cunt". I have screen shots!

He's a real piece of work. I've sent an email to the South Carolina Bar and am working on the other places he's connected to too.

after I told him that I've taken screenshots of what he's said on his Twitter page. I also told him I've emailed the South Carolina Bar. An interesting note: a search of his name does not show him on there. Hmmmmmmm....
