Thanks to the good people over at Swing State Project and The News Blog for this hypocritical gem. Republican Jean Schmidt is defending her House seat against Iraqi War veteran Raul Hackett. It's no surprise that the Schmidt campaign has decided to "swift boat" yet another veteran by questioning his patriotism, if he ever really fought in combat, and not knowing what's going on "over here." However, the campaign manager for Schmidt, Joe Braun has made her situation a little "hairy" by being linked to a S&M (Yes, I had to look this up too) website. Here is his profile "deanofcorn" from CallerMe.com, a BDSM (Bondage Discipline Sadism Masochism) personals and chat website:
"
...he is experienced with staging medical / gynecological exams."
Schmidt has focused her campaign on family values, but now it looks like her Campaign Manager may have used the internet to satisfy his bizarre sexual fetishes. If this is true, it is the ultimate in hypocrisy.
Here's how this whole thing came about. People who emailed the Schmidt campaign had their email's bounce back. The details of the bounce back showed that the email joe@jeanschmidt.com actually went to deanofcorn@aol.com . This is important because it shows that Schmidt Campaign Manager Joe Braun was using his AOL account for campaign purposes.
Here is a screenshot of the same profile name "deanofcorn," the same email address, and on Ohio Republican website Scioto County GOP (www.sciotogop.org):
