Tom Reynolds, Xoff, and The Whole Mishpoche*

Last week Wisconsin State Senator Tom Reynolds imploded, cowardly running from a public debate .

Today Xoff launched a clever post catching the very essence of the crusader against both HomoFascism and IslamoFacism. Bill captured a summary of all the other lads and lasses who took up the challenge of exposing the self-righteous Reynolds who asks prospective employees questions usually reserved for lecherous internet chat sessions:

Reynold's bomb-throwing Fruitcake Brigade

State Sen. Tom Reynolds and his band of merry henchmen continue to spread wild charges about everyone in Wauwatosa in hopes of confusing and obscuring the real issue in Reynolds' reelection campaign.

Reynolds and his brain trust -- to use the term very loosely -- would like it to be a referendum on IslamoFascism in Wauwatosa, or something of the sort. But the questions before the voters in November are simple ones:

Does Tom Reynolds deserve to be reelected? Is he competent to serve? Does he represent your opinions?

There is a lot of evidence to the contrary, some of which is listed by Carrie Lynch at What's Left. She wonders whether he is even competent to vote, let alone hold office.

Gretchen Schuldt wishes he would just go away.

A lot of reasonable conservatives do, too.

Reynolds is an embarrassment to the Republican Party and the conservative movement in Wisconsin. Even Republican radio host Charlie Sykes has publicly taken him to task for his association with anti-Catholic bigots.
