June 28, 2014: Op/Ed News: Fred Karger Is STILL a Republican. Why?
He was interviewed last week, and Brad Friedman asked him this very question. His answer is longer than I would care to write, so you can listen to the interview if you want. 
ON THE RECORD: Feb 8, 2014: Ernest A. Canning (The Brad Blog) reports "Federal Lawsuit Filed Against FEC Seeks to Shed Light on Karl Rove's 'Dark Money' Donors" Karl Rove had been under investigation by the Federal Election Commission for federal campaign finance violations by his Crossroads GPS organization, which the FEC had cleared him of (by a 3 to 3 deadlock). Crossroads GPS, however, "filed a federal lawsuit [PDF] against the FEC in hopes of forcing the agency to reverse its ruling, revisit the complaint against his group's 2010 electioneering, and to enforce federal campaign finance rules as specified by law. Late last Friday, Attorneys from the non-partisan Campaign Legal Center and the Public Citizen Litigation Group filed a civil complaint against the FEC in U.S. District Court in Washington D.C. The suit seeks to reverse what the plaintiffs describe as an "arbitrary" and "capricious" decision by the three Republican FEC Commissioners, in contradiction of the advice of their own staff attorneys, to dismiss the administrative complaint the groups had filed against Rove's organization. That administrative complaint charged that Rove's group violated federal campaign finance law during the 2010 election cycle." Canning summarizes that if "the case is successful, the FEC will be forced to reopen the investigation into campaign finance violations by Rove's "social welfare" organization. If that happens, Rove and his massive "dark money" scheme, as well as others like it which have sprung up in its wide, dark shadow, may be in danger of finally being forced into the light of day."

Dec 9, 2013: Progressive Radio Network: BRAD FRIEDMAN – Clear Channel to Remove L.A. and San Francisco’s Only Commercial Progressive Talk Radio Stations, Replace Them with More Rightwing Talk
The BRAD BLOG has long argued that the outsized control of our public airwaves enjoyed by Clear Channel/Premiere and a handful of other conglomerates — including their ability to leverage our public airwaves (licensed from we, the people, in exchange only for their promise to serve the public interest) to distribute their own syndicator’s shows — is a likely violation of U.S. v. Paramount, the 1948 anti-trust Supreme Court decision which found that the major movie studios could not also control the means of distribution by owning the nation’s largest theater chains at the same time.

In short, Brad Friedman of Bradblog is a piece of s***. Not everyone is a good person. That dude knowingly outed me to a cyberstalker. I've posted the proof. Friedman is the one who originally outed my real name and an email address. Too bad the Johnny Cash middle finger has been retired.

Brad Friedman is the co-founder of the group VelvetRevolution.us, which created StopTheChamber.com, which is unaffiliated to the union-led US Chamber Watch effort. He was actually subbing for Mike Malloy on his national radio show last night when he heard the news. “I learned just before showtime about the attacks on my organization, but during the show I found out they had targeted me and my family,” Friedman said in an interview. “I used it to help explain how appalling and disgusting and anti-American these creeps are at US Chamber of Commerce.”

Bradley Louis "Brad" Friedman (born July 19, 1966) is an American blogger, journalist, actor, radio broadcaster, director and software programmer, most known for his criticism of election integrity issues in the USA. Friedman graduated from Interlochen Arts Academy in 1983 and received a BFA from New York University's (NYU) Tisch School of the Arts in 1988.
Friedman's blog covers voting rights and election integrity issues in the USA, and a number of other subjects related to media reform and political corruption from a progressive standpoint. His blog site is generally critical of Premier Election Solutions (formerly Diebold Election Systems), ES&S, Sequoia Voting Systems and electronic voting in general. Based on his advocacy at The BRAD BLOG and in other publications, he was invited to testify at the Election Assistance Commission's Voting Advocate Roundtable Discussion. Friedman is a noted advocate of a return to paper balloting and of the role of bloggers as journalists. He has been described in the New York Times as "perhaps the most dogged critic of electronic voting machine technology in the blogosphere"
