Blois Olson, a Democratic public relations exec, is suing blogger and former Minnesota GOP employee Michael Brodkorb for $50,000 and removal of a blog post about Olson and his PR firm.
In the Dec. 28 item, Brodkorb suggested that Olson had publicly criticized former FBI agent Coleen Rowley's campaign for Congress because Rowley's campaign staff last summer refused to hire Olson's firm, New School Communications. Olson insists the item was a fabrication; Brodkorb says he's confident it was true.
"Here's an anonymous blogger that wasn't willing to retract something that could damage my reputation and my business – and that's false," Olson said Wednesday. Brodkorb said, "It's as simple as a Democratic operative trying to silence a Republican operative's blog. He's going to proceed with this through the courts, and I will, too."
