Internet Scumbags Attack Eckersley, Try to Intimidate the Media

This is how the GOP slime machine works.  It's taken little more than 24 hours for the Blunt regime's paid lackeys to begin using their blogs to launch uncorroborated personal attacks against a man whose sin was to bring public attention to lawbreaking done by the governor's office.

It seems that Scott Eckersley had what was a really bad reaction to the end of his last relationship. His work deteriorated. He became combative. His focus was gone. He started making bad life choices in drinking and pornography. In fact, The Source has learned that Eckersley has a warrant out for his arrest. He may have seen these lies as his only way out.

And from the MOGOP-funded MissouriPulse comes this delightful bit of invented history from John Hancock (from a post which I commented on here):

Scott Eckersley, a former state employee, was fired for a litany of problems that included: poor performance, habitual tardiness, insubordination, threatening his supervisor, using state resources to do significant private work on state time, and using his state email account to access an adult website.

For these paid GOP operatives it's not enough that Eckersley has already lost his job and suffered needless humiliation for having the backbone to stand up for what's right.  They want to make sure they throw every imaginable slur and accusation at the young man in order to scare him from proceeding any further and to try to scare the media into ignoring the very important story of Matt Blunt's misdeeds.

If I were one of the handful of not-yet-fired Blunt administration staffers who are hiding some very ugly personal secrets of their own, I'd be more than a bit leery of my colleagues and political allies starting public smear campaigns about alleged sexual and behavioral indiscretions.  The road down which Roe and Hancock are headed is one on which it isn't easy to backtrack.
