Who is Brett Kimberlin?

The answer to this question is definitely not a simple one, but it is a question which we will be answering before the end of the week.  He is known as the "Speedway Bomber" for a series of eight bombs that he built and detonated in the late 70s in a town called Speedway, Indiana.  (We will look deeper into his past in a future post)  After being released from federal prison, Kimberlin has become a serial litigious bully, filing more than 100 separate lawsuits against those who even made a mere mention of his past or the fact that he is a convicted felon.  This man will stop at nothing in his attacks on free speech.  His current target, Stacy McCain ("The Other McCain"), has left his home and is an undisclosed location to protect his wife and children.  Family members and even employers are not off-limits to Kimberlin when he has focused his attacks on someone.  About six months ago, Andrew Breitbart suggested that we do some homework on the convicted felon and some of his associates.  Lee Stranahan, who was a close associate of Breitbart's, wrote a blog post the other day declaring this Friday May, 25th to be "Everybody Blog About Brett Kimberlin Day" and provided us with a few guidelines:

Research Brett Kimberlin on your own. Don’t trust secondary sources; look for the original articles articles published about him, too.

On Friday, May 25th — write an honest, factually accurate post about what you learned and what your OPINION is. Brett may try and sue you, so be accurate, factual and separate fact from opinion.

The post doesn’t have to be long — ANYTHING helps.

After you post, Tweet, share, whatever — get the post out there.

Remember how powerful anchor text can be when paired with the right factual article inside a blog post.

Well troops, it seems as though we have been given our mission and it is time to get to work!!  One more thing, the following video is a short summation that provides us with a glimpse into the life of Brett Kimberlin and was created by Lee Stranahan.
