R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Kevin Fischer is truly the epitome of hypocrisy.

For example, when Fischer decides to spout off on the CRG's attempt at attention seeking by calling for a recall of Governor Doyle, he adds this little line at the end (emphasis mine):

Conservatives can politely, respectfully disagree on a recall, but they are in unison that Doyle has to go, whether it is now or next year. I prefer sooner than later.

This one sentence pegs the hypocrisy meter, since ol' Fischer knows nothing about the words respect.

Just in the comment thread in this section, he belittles fellow conservative, and fellow Franklinite, Fred Keller.

Then in the comment section of another post, he insults both his former friend Keller, but also on his nemesis, Greg Kowalkski:

Fred:

I'm merely providing a public service, posting an informative article about how unsafe some dog leashes are.

I see you graduated from the Greg Kowalski School of Spelling.

It is even more ironic when one considers the fact that Fischer is a master of the copy and paste himself.

Unfortunately for Fischer, Keller is not one to take it laying down, but takes it to Fischer with a post of his own, calling for Fischer's job:

As a constituent of State Sen. Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin), I call upon her to fire her Legislative Aide Kevin Fischer.

Like all who live in this great country of ours, Kevin Fischer has the right to free speech and – like me – should not be bashful about exercising this Constitutional right. However, when exercising this right, one should be prepared to take responsibility for one’s speech.

[...]

Kevin Fischer has a very long and well-documented history of showing utter contempt and outright disrespect for Sen. Lazich’s constituents in Franklin. For her part, Sen. Lazich seems incapable of, or simply unwilling to, appropriately deal with her underling’s immature behavior and caustic personal attacks on constituents in Franklin.

Franklin voters need to hold Sen. Lazich accountable for Fischer’s vitriol – on and off “the clock.”

Frequent readers of FranklinNOW are all too familiar with the venom Fischer regularly spews forth on his firebrand blog “This Just In…” It’s time for Sen. Lazich to send Kevin Fischer packing. If she chooses not to, then come election time, voters should send Mary Lazich packing.

As far as I am concerned, let Lazich keep Fischer. He does have the right to say what he wants, how he wants, when it is on his own time. But given the fact that Lazich has admitted that Fischer writers her blogspots for her, as well as his own, let her receive whatever consequences she gets for keeping him on.

It's not the first time I've heard of conservatives in Franklin also calling for her ouster. The longer she keeps him on board, and keeps him so closely tied to her, the more likely her ouster will be.
