Grothman Plagiarized Anti-Kwanzaa Press Release from Ann Coulter Column

Source: Uppity Wisconsin

On December 26, Ann Coulter wrote an anti-Kwanzaa column, Kwanzaa: Holiday Brought to You by the FBI, that is remarkably similar to the the anti-Kwanzaa press release State Sen. Glenn Grothman sent out two days later.

Coulter starts out by explaining that Kwanzaa is a fraud holiday that was invented by Ron Karenga:

It is a fact that Kwanzaa was invented in 1966 by a black radical FBI stooge, Ron Karenga -- aka Dr. Maulana Karenga -- founder of United Slaves, a violent nationalist rival to the Black Panthers.

...Grothman starts out by explaining that Kwanzaa is a fraud holiday invented by Ron Karenga:

It was invented in 1966 by Ron Karenga, a 1960s radical leader and founder of something called the "US Organization". This group, often referred to as the "United Slaves" is even more radical than the Black Panthers.

histrionics. Everybody knows that it was invented in the 60s. Never in my life have I heard somebody claim that it was some sort of tradition that predated that time.

as do other white rw assholes. or at least they like to pretend that they do. they seem to have a problem with self-determination. they don't like the fact that black people do things without their permission, e.g., changing our descriptions from colored to black to african-american, etc.

Whoopi and Sherri just about lost it. If whoopi had a two by four she would have knocked the hair extensions off coultergist's head for that comment.

Coulter is the world's most successful troll. Her shtick is about baiting liberals into getting upset with her never stream of bullshit (most of which I certain she doesn't really believe). Once a liberal takes the bait and expresses outrage, she starts with the standard diatribe about "playing the victim" and not being able to "handle the truth" and then pivots into the farcical claims that conservatives and white Christian establishment in the U.S. are the
"real victims". Her entire act was stale ten years ago. I can't believe that she's still getting press.

i think gg is as pathetic as they come
heard him on the radio today and he was all about giving ann coulter credit.

i think grothman is all the about the promotion of wacko ideas-no matter how wacky to us
i think he might actually believe them and can not understand why we don't believe them too.

... and called union workers protesting in Madison "thugs" and "slobs".

I'm sad to report that he's the State Senator representing my district, at least he's supposed to do so. He actually represents the interests of the Koch brothers.

He won re-election in November with 70% of the vote. I'm ashamed of my neighbors.
