Olsen - Anti-Public Participation?

Madison Wisconsin -- Politiscoop received an email today from the Journal Sentinel asking for a comment to Luther Olsens statement of denial to them about the incident and within that statement Olsen suggested he may be contemplating legal action against Politiscoop. It seems to me this is the theme of the Republican Party this year, first play victim then attempt to silence the voices of the people. The action he is considering is what is known as a SLAPP lawsuit. Basically it is something many politicians use to play the victim while bullying the press into remaining silent on a certain subject.
Now we have offered Olsen a voice on the page where the article ran to counter the claims of those who made the allegations. Olsen was also offered the opportunity to defuse the entire situation on camera but decided to walk away. Politiscoop offered him the voice now he may seek to silence ours. (Our invitation remains open to Olsen). Olsen should know that each and every time he is out on the campaign trail he is interviewing for the job for Wisconsin's State Senate and the readers of Politiscoop are his employers and to walk away leaving their questions unanswered is one way of saying they really don't matter. So, why should Olsen have this title as the Senator of the 14th Senate District? Lets look at his history, shall we?
A company he was associated was alleged to have committed bankruptcy fraud. Listen to this here. (A must hear) Read these links here and here
Olsen was accused of having an affair and stealing current wife (Joan Wade) from John Spillner. (Reported by the Journal Sentinel, I wonder if Olsen will SLAPP them)
Olsen has recently been accused of an ethics violation involving his wife Joan Wade and her relationship with CESA schools.
Olsen has been alleged to have aided in the shutting down of a school in his own district. (Again haven't heard about SLAPP yet)
Yesterday Politiscoop ran a piece about Senator Luther Olsen and the talk of Berlin and Poy Sippi that he had impregnated a teenage babysitter at some point in time. Now it is important to understand that the piece didn't get published from a single email to Politiscoop but several, it was published after making contact with several random people in both the Berlin and Poy Sippi area. In other words, this wasn't a group of people with an agenda in mind and had no idea why Politiscoop would be contacting them. We received several emails today in regards to the article, some pointing out this link in March (scroll to the bottom of the page) and then others giving us the names, ages and what seems to be specific details and one correcting us that Olsen hadn't been married twice, but now three times. We apologize for that error and hope that is now cleared up. Now its important to note that we believeĀ there was no abortion to the best of our knowledge judging from the emails we have received.
