Sometimes there's nothing better to say about a news story than "WTF?!" This is one of those times.
This past week, after Colorado racist Republican Tom Tancredo jumped into the CO governor's race (running under the American Constitution Party), Republican candidate Dan Maes reacted by unearthing - gasp - a truly WTF-inspiring smear campaign against Democratic Candidate and current Denver mayor John Hickenlooper.
Maes says that Hickenlooper's support of B-Cycle, a pilot program that provides about 400 bicycles for Denver residents to use for free to travel the city is evidence that he is "converting Denver into a United Nations community," whatever that means. He insists: "This is all very well-disguised, but it will be exposed...This is bigger than it looks on the surface, and it could threaten our personal freedoms."
The Huffington Post says it best: "So, in other words, Dan Maes is deeply, unquenchably crazy."
(going on in Maes' head right now)
Sidenote: Tancredo's entry into the race (which will likely split the conservative vote) combined with Mae's emerging craziness is making things look pretty darn good for Hickenlooper.
there should be a screening for crazy when someone runs for office
