Senate candidate tells blogger to 'go f**k yourself,' and he means it

8/23/2012

You can call it refreshing or just plain rude, but Senate candidate Mike Baumgartner of Washington state is unrepentant about telling blogger Josh Feit to “go f**k yourself.” In an interview, Feit questioned him on rape, abortion and Todd Akin (whom Baumgartner has called “ignorant” and “offensive”) while Baumgartner tried to discuss ending the Afghan war. After the interview, Baumgartner emailed the reporter a picture of himself with a Navy SEAL who died in Afghanistan, with a message telling him to “take a good look and then go f**k yourself.” Feit published the email and the politician’s staff hurried to apologize, but Baumgartner insisted the apology be retracted. When this guy tells you to f**k off, he means it. [Source]
