WASHINGTON — The political site Popular Information has traced a history of racist, sexist, and homophobic screeds by Rep. Jim Hagedorn, R-Minn., going back decades. Editor Judd Legum cited Hagedorn’s now-deleted blog Mr. Conservative, which had alleged falsely that Democrats had committed voter fraud with Indigenous populations. Hagedorn claimed “many of the voters registered for absentee ballots were found to be chiefs and squaws who had returned to the spirit world many moons ago.” On the blog Hagedorn added: “Leave it to liberals to ruin John Wayne’s wisdom of the only good Indian being a dead Indian.” In 2008 Hagedorn said that Obama, if elected, would turn America into a “low-budget remake of Eddie Murphy’s movie Coming to America.” There also have been vulgar sexist and homophobic remarks, Legum said. He noted that Hagedorn called the nomination of Harriet Miers to the U.S. Supreme Court as an attempt “to fill the bra of Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.” Before that, Hagedorn called Washington Senators Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray “undeserving bimbos in tennis shoes.” In response to a homophobic ad against GOP candidate Mike Taylor, Hagedorn write that the ad “really bent Taylor over with rage and caused him to go straight to the bar and get lubricated.” Hagedorn derided the Supreme Court decision that invalidated laws making sex between consenting adults illegal as “Lone Star Sodomites v. God and Country.”
