This Is Why We Love Tom Mannis
From Chicago News Bench:
On December 7, 2009, I intentionally baited Dan Proft on Twitter (transcript below). He bit, and swallowed. He’s been caught lying, and now he’s frantically denying. His responses to my questions and remarks were undiplomatic, rude and dishonest, and unbefitting a candidate for statewide office. My own remarks, admittedly, are not characteristic of someone you’d vote for for governor. Fortunately for you, I’m not running for governor. Unfortunately, Dan Proft is.
Here are a couple of tasty exchanges with Proft, Republican INO Illinois Gubernatorial hopeful. Mannis is calling out Proft for making “pro-amnesty for illegals” statements that Tom has on AUDIO.
DanProft: @ChiNewsBench one more idea: take a remedial reading comprehension course and then we can debate what I wrote vs. your distortion of it – December 07, 2009, 10:40:04 PM
ChiNewsBench: @DanProft – You’re either a lousy liar or simply deranged. One need not be able to read to hear what you said: http://bit.ly/83JHTH 11:27 PM Dec 7th from web in reply to DanProft
DanProft: @ChiNewsBench Sigh, it is futile to talk to black helicopter folks like you.You hear/read only what you can assimilate-and that ain’t much. – December 07, 2009, 11:38:35 PM
ChiNewsBench: @DanProft – I accept your challenge. Meet me at the end of Navy Pier, 3:00 am, alone. No weapons. Just hand to hand. You on? 11:39 PM Dec 7th from web
ChiNewsBench: @DanProft – Or would you seriously challenge me to a debate? All I have to do is bring an MP3 player and loop your own pro-illegal rant. 11:41 PM Dec 7th from web
DanProft: @TeaTephi Again, I did not write that immigration laws in general are either immoral OR amoral. – December 08, 2009
After reading the above, imagine Proft as governor. Now imagine him responding to really tough questions from big media reporters. Would he accuse them of being “flunkies?” Would he lie about past statements, denying words he wrote and spoke, as he did above?

Is that why they call him Tom “Balls” Mannis?
Sounds like that guy is perfect for Ill. politics. As an old friend of mine used to say “He’s about as crooked as a snakes ass”!

Wow, thanks guys. I’m humbled by and sincerely grateful for your kind words, really. I’m getting all choked up now and a bit misty eyed. Btw, chickenballs Proft has not followed up on his ridiculous challenge to debate me. I’m in Danny Boy, bring it on!
