Clueless Arizona GOP Heavies Demonizing Bloggers?

My friend Ken Marrero over at Blue Collar Muse has posted an interesting if not entirely infuriating story about GOP officials coming down on other officials and certain county employees for having the gall to talk to those eeeevil Arizona bloggers that have been doggedly reporting the corruption stories of county officials.

GOP officials of Maricopa County have been in a bit of trouble recently having been accused of wasteful spending, power grabs and criminal investigations. Marrero even notes that there is a Twitter feed used to needle these officials called CorruptAZSupes.

The barbs have been coming fast and furious and County Manager David Smith has decided to try and stop the bleeding. So, did Smith decide to clean up the Supervisor's office? Nope. He's decided to attack Republicans that have talked to the press and the bloggers. Classic shooting the messenger mistake.

Here’s a radical idea:

It’s easy to not hear all stories about how corrupt, power hungry and borderline evil you’re acting....don’t act that way.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant and as usual the people upon which it is shone react wrongly.
