   This is how democrats act when they know their ship is taking on water. Here is what we know:

   1) Obama is a millstone around the necks of Tennessee Democrats.

   2) Chip Forrester is a fool but a great asset of the Tennessee Republicans effort to permenantly take over Tennessee Politics for the next 50 years.

   3) Tennessee Democrats got their ass kicked in a special house election district 62 by 15% points. They wagered everything in a district that never before had voted for a Republican. They lost the election. They spent a ton of money. They got nothing.

   4) Because of 1,2 and 3 democrats in Tennessee are having great trouble recruiting candidates and raising money.

   5) The democratic party in Tennessee is coming apart at the seams with a hapless chairman who believes that Obama and his politics truely are the answer in Tennessee. Hell most democrats in Tennessee don’t agree with most of Obama’s policies yet the liberal wack jobs are in control of their sinking little ship.

   So this is what you get; a frustrated little punk who is no more than Odoms cabin boy getting mad because in a few months he like his old worn out ideas will be nothing more memory.

   Tennessee Democrats R.I.P.

   Yeah. Campfield can make up stuff about his nemeses dealing drugs and be rude to UT cops, but somebody shoots him a bird and he’s all “OMG- he hates baby Jesus!” What a drama queen. If you can’t take it, don’t dish it out.

   6) OG Ben in act of despiration and to deflect attention away from a state democratic party that has no victories, no money, no prospects will call the conservatives “whiny little bitches”.

   Sounds like OG Boy is doing the whining in keeping with the great liberal tradition of his state party.

   It is pretty funny to watch the most vitriolic of the TNLibs writhe as their party self-destructs. They’re grasping at straws at this point.

   Advice to any Republican candidate who didn’t win a State House or Senate seat last year: Run.

   Advice to anyone who’s thinking about running for a seat currently held by a Democrat: Run.

   It’s going to be a slaughter, ladies and gentleman. Let’s run the Dems out of Tennessee in 2010.

    I do too and don’t disagree, but it doesn’t change the fact that Campfield is ignorant, immature and cares about insulting Democrats more than he does serving the good people of Knox County. They both need to go. I might be able to come up with one or two of the 132 who should stay. Just give me a week or two.

    December 19th, 2009 4:17 pm

    OK, now I’m not from Knoxville and am not that familiar with Stacey Campfield but any 10 year old would see this for the stupidity it is. Stacey puts out a silly little video, then he gets a photo of an aide to Gary Odom flipping the bird to a camera ( very stupid on Cauthorn’s part). Then Campfield claims that it was in response to his little video and somehow connects that to Democrats hating Jesus.

    Is this what Campfield is all about, making baseless personal allegations about those he doesn’t like? TN Republicans have become increasingly partisan and unwilling to work with Democrats on productive legislation. This is an opportunity for Republican office holders to denounce childish actions like this and create an air of cooperation and statesmanship.

    Will y’all take advantage of this opportunity or take politics lower than ever?

    Moderate Democrat is right! I denounce the childish actions of Lonnie “Skip” Cauthron Jr.; Rep. Gary Odom’s right hand man. In accordance with the sober request of Moderate Democrat I demand an apology from Rep. Gary Odom and that Lonnie “Skip” Cauthron be dismissed from his duties immediately.

    How’s that for cooperation and statesmanship?

    Skip’s battling some personal demons about which everyone at the Capitol knows. He used to be a really good writer at the City Paper but working for mike williams and odom have turned his life upside and turned him into a different person. I feel sorry for the guy b/c after 2010 he’ll be out on the street. Best thing that could happen to him.

    3) Whoever took the picture has the other piece to this. I bet skippy remebers the date and time of this occurance.

    Tennessee Democrats are increasingly partisan because they are being held hostage by the liberal wing of their party, the Obamacrats. They are pushing the party to the left leaving no room for moderates in their party. They are the ones it’s hard to work with on important legislation.

    If Stacey boy is elected, he can be roommates with Brian Kelsey. It’s an open secret in Memphis that Brian is gay. Wondering about Stacey. Lessee, 40’s and never been married. Flamboyant.

    OG I have given great consideration to your deep distress. It is with your welfare in mind that I suggest that you concentrate your future efforts in area where you obviously have a great love. You can be the official spell checker for ACK and his blog!

    This will do two things. First, it allows you to put your worthless past behind you. Second, it allows you to focus on something you obviously are very passionate about; spelling!!

    Good luck in your new endeavor!

    December 19th, 2009 5:15 pm

    Smegma…I hadn’t thought about that. I bet this was taken on the night their candidate lost to Pat Marsh. I mean, that district had been in the D column for over 100 years, and the D’s managed to lose it. That top of all the seats they lost last year. Odom and Lonnie headed up their efforts to defend the D seats.

    When different gay guys I know tell me about Kelsey, I would say it’s a pretty certain thing. They are watching him and if he tries to play Mr. anti-gay in the State Senate, they plan to out him. Changing the subject? I think my allegations are more factual than little Stacey’s, that the Odom aide hates Jesus because he made an obscene gesture to someone who took his picture.

    This story has been out big all over the internet and radio all day today. If it were not true I am sure the Democrats would have said something long before now.

    While it’s obvious that this man gave “the bird” to SOMEONE with a camera at SOME point in time, I find it very hard to believe that he added the text and mailed or e-mailed this to Rep. Campfield or anyone else. Nice try. Why would the Rep. make up such a thing?! Not very Christian of him.

    December 20th, 2009 11:24 am

    Oh please.

    Like I spend my time hanging out with “Skippy” while he is drinking or drunk. I took a picture of him flipping me the bird, (I am sure he would be willing to pose for me) then I saved it for months, designed a Christmas card around it (We all know my computer prowess), printed it out and mailed it to myself. All the while exerting my will over “Skippy” and Gary Odem to force their silence to all the media sources reporting this story. Right. I can see that happening. Can’t you?

70. Gavin writes
    December 20th, 2009 1:11 pm

71. Gavin writes

    Based on Campfield’s ridiculous claim that Lonnie “Skip” Cauthron Jr. is the emblem of the liberal wing of Democrats, then Paul “Family Values” Stanley is the symbol of the conservative wing of Republicans.

    Of course, neither claim is true.

    But if Paul Stanley is the face of Republicans, that would explain why Stacey Campfield has taken to wearing masks.
