Earlier this year, we, the GOP base, were told that the 6th Congressional District was a cesspool of filth and corruption. We were told that the previous Chairman had ruined our party and divided the party to suit his own purposes. And that all conservatives needed was Jennifer Brown in the chairman’s seat to lead us back into the promised land.
Well, We the Conservatives of the Shenandoah Valley, Roanoke Valley, and Lynchburg did our part. We tossed Scott Sayre out and put in Jennifer Brown by a landslide. However we did keep Constitutional Conservatives in place in most of the Units so that the GOP Establishment could not take over again. We were told that there would be harmony and civil discourse. What have we gotten for our time whipping our friends to vote for Jennifer Brown?
We have gotten nothing but drama and discord. We have seen our friends insulted and degraded. We have seen Alinsky like tactics by those closest to Jennifer Brown. We have seen fellow Republicans forced to endure racial, homophobic, and sexist slurs from Jennifer’s fiancée Roger Jarrell. Mr. Jarrell has called anyone who supported Sayre and Dunbar “homos”. Mr. Jarrell has called a well known and respected woman who he disagrees with a “hag” and “bi00h” on social media (Shenandoah County GOP Women’s Chair Dianne Wyss). Mr. Jarrell has made ethnic slurs towards Mr. John Massoud, the Vice Chair of the 6th District Congressional Committee – stating that with his last name, Mr. Massoud would be better off in Baghdad than in the 6th Congressional District. Mr. Jarrell has also stated that Freddy Burgos would not be welcome in the Shenandoah Valley because of his last name.
Even worse, Jennifer Brown and her fiancée have resorted to attacking their own supporters on social media if they deviate one iota off the thought police plantation. Just this past weekend, one Brown/Cline supporter (Nick Collette) was viciously attacked by both Jennifer Brown and Roger Jarrell because he was upset about the latest controversy coming out of the Corey Stewart campaign. The verbal barrage went so far as for Mr. Jarrell to threaten to punch out Mr. Collette (remember that Mr. Collette supported both Jennifer Brown and Ben Cline in the convention process and has a passionate disgust of the Sayre/Dunbar crowd). Shortly afterward, Mr. Jarrell suggested that we need to bring back legalized dueling to settle our disputes. They have attacked respected Republican statesmen such as former Senator Steve Martin – their lunacy knows no bounds.
Normally after nomination campaigns, the winners celebrate (often a bit too much) and the losers get upset, and after a few days, all is well. But not in Jennie and Roger’s World. In Jennie and Roger’s World those who lose are horrible people who should not be allowed into their precious Republican party. Anyone who voted against precious Jennie is a heretic who needs to be excommunicated from the party. Anyone who disagrees with precious Jennie needs to be stamped out or sent to a re-education center. These 2 sociopaths are turning the 6th Congressional District into their own playground where they are the Queen and Consort, and we all must obey them or else be excommunicated from the party.
So as we can plainly see, it was not the Sayre Dunbar conservatives who are dividing and destroying the party. It is the GOP Establishment, those who are addicted to power and to seeing their names in the newspapers. It is them who inflicted their precious Jennie on us.
So thank you Wendell Walker. Thank you Kenny Klinge. Thank you Georgia Long. Thank you Craig Storrs. Thank you GOP Establishment – you gave us a monster in high heels to be our chair for the next 2 years.

Mister Posner, I do agree you need to attend a reeducation camp. Let me remind you that Jennifer ran on the basis of broadening the base and instituting digital communications. What is your complaint? Please look into the Harrisonburg-Rockingham groups. Quite self destructive.

Jarrell has been sued repeatedly in general district and circuit in rockbridge, including judgements and garnishment. Some lawyer.
The rumor is that Jennifer has appointed him 6th District Committee counsel. What a professional twosome they are.
He ain’t licensed.
Given this discourse by Jennifer and Roger, who could trust either one to handle their case in an unbiased manner?
Not given, anonymous partisan shilling.
Correction: Jennifer Brown did not file any FEC complaints and she is a very upstanding individual. How ridiculous that people comment about her supposed world view, her love life, and ambitions, when they clearly don’t know her, based on the misconstrued information. It is time for our GOP candidates to win in November, and for us to put all of our support behind them…. and not regurgitate this foolishness.
True – Jennifer’s cohorts filed the FEC Complaints. She supported their efforts. She is complicit and clearly supportive of the complaints.
Cohorts? Um.. No. The FEC complaints are totally valid and have standing. They are serious infractions and it is a matter of checks and balances and True Free Speech. Pardon the pun. Just like Dunbar’s loyal supporters should have been abhorred by her marrying a law student at Liberty and getting kicked out from the faculty. This young man even took Dunbar’s ex-husband’s last name. I think that poses a far more serious problem than the whining on this blog. If people are not voting for Corey and supporting GOP efforts, then they are helping Tim Kaine. That would go for Nick and any other turncoat.
The fact that the faction leadership is just plain weird should not enter into it. The era of Republican when convenient is over.
Are these complaints valid or not? Lots of flak indicates over target.
Entirely valid.
The complaints were excellent use of lawfare. The complaints were strategically filed within two weeks of the election and are unraveling. As Obama had the IRS go after the Tea Party groups before the 2012 election. This is an effective way to discourage people from political participation. Jennifer is caught up as the messenger from the Establishment to the Grass Roots and she lacks the political skills to pull it off as she is defensive and unpolished in her commentary.
LOL. Remember Steve Troxel, the SCC rep from Lynchburg, a Sayre guy? Tonight his Lynchburg City Republican Committee voted to censor him for his vote on 6th District to spend $30,000. FYI. And he is not the last by any means. As far as Jennifer, she has her act together and represents the majority of voters in the 6th District who elected her. The previous 6th District chair was totally corrupt and so are his minions. Deal with it.
Doc should wear it as a badge of honor! Jennifer is the Obama-like puppet of the Wendell Walker and Roanoke GOP contingent. There is much buyers remorse out there from people who voted for her and find her social media comments unprofessional.
Jennifer is nobody’s puppet and the only people who may not like her, never voted for her in the first place…and preferred Sayre, the sleeze. And speaking of Obama, there is no valid exchange of ideas with Sayre/Dunbar holdouts… it’s like talking to a Democrat. Closed minded and illogical.
Because slimy anon hit piece partisan faction blackmailing party and holding party treasury hostage for ransom.
Runs here because it’s anti-Corey.
The various chairmen of localities in the 6th who supported the underhanded Sayre and Dunbar voted to take the treasury hostage as a method of retaliation. This will be overturned by RPV, indeed. To your point, they need to support Corey and win elections for candidates, not misdirect funds to address old baggage which is the responsibility of the persons who were out of compliance.
Good luck getting the money back — Ask Fred county how much they got back from their ‘Liberty-minded’ adventure.
Nixonante – this coming from the guy who refuses to divulge his name? Tsk tsk tsk Nixonante.
My relative anonymity allows me access and the ability to cross internecine political borders.
You know from my posting history, positions, incredible wisdom, and devastating witty repartee where I stand and how I roll.
Posner’s mean girl misogyny and digital bullying illustrates the true colors of the “liberty-minded” and his yankee decorum.
Well I know we both voted for Corey Stewart in the primary. As for the rest, I actually do not know if you are a moderate Republican, conservative Republican, Libertarian Republican, Tea Party Republican (that term has different meanings for different people. I do know you’re not a member of the “liberty wing” of the party.
Regarding your incredible wisdom and devastating witty repartee – I must finally ask – assuming you know what the term Rocinante means (for those of you who do not know what Rocinante means – Rocinante was the nag horse that Don Quixote rode in the novel written by Miguel Certantes in the 1600’s – the term means “old nag”) now why would you call yourself “old nag” – other than you have a rather sarcastic self deprecating sense of humor similar to mine?
And for the record, it’s more likely that your “relative anonymity” means you can troll people without getting into any trouble, provided no one ever figures out who you are. Just a thought my dear “Old Nag”?
He actually got it from the novel “Leviathan Wakes”, which inspired the SyFy series “The Expanse”, and thinks he’s clever. Politically, my read is that’s he some 10th CD establishment Republican that likes to think of himself as a ‘rebel’, but always falls in line.
Thanks – had never heard of Leviathan Wakes, but tried to read Don Quixote as a kid – hence my thinking that he got the name Rocinante from that book. Let’s take your word on his political leanings as you know our dear Rocinante better than do I. Actually Rocinante is quite clever. And even when we disagree (which is quite often) one must love how he phrases things and he makes the blogs quite entertaining to read.
Thanks and keep it real.
Never heard of it but I’ll add it to my reading list — I like the Expanse show.
I *know* I’m clever and the best way to conquer the establishment is to supplant the establishment.
(Think facehugging on the Nostromo.)
Gobble, gobble, one of us.
Not trolling, online dueling 😉
Mostly I value my privacy and we got industrial drums of cra-cra all over the party — you’ve been to party events, you know how tightly wound some of these people are.
Given the fact that most of the GOP/E in Shenandoah County hates my guts and wishes I’d be killed in a major automobile accident – yes I’m aware of how tightly wound some people can be. Quite frankly, I find the anger sad yet comical at the same time. Not all of them mind you – just the majority.
I figured your Bush ties would get you the Moderate Immunity Cloak.
Well I met GW 3x. And how did you know this?
It was in the file.
Apparently I missed this comment string…
Another translation for Rocinante is worthless hack. So yeah, blue check mark for twisted sense of humor.
Oh my dear Rocinante – you are not a worthless hack. You are a hack of esteemed value.
A comment was deleted from an anonymous poster using a racial slur to denigrate one of our writers. We don’t tolerate that.
Thank you for that. Will you be addressing the slurs and misogyny of the anonymous Mr. Posner?
I hear the crickets chirping.
Sounds like a whiner that is complaining about someone else’s social media comments. And doesn’t post the ones from the chair because, conveniently, has none to prove his point.
So literally fake news. The kind that says, but has no corroboration.
Well done. You posted fake news. The only difference between you and Huffington post is that they are succesful. And that Ahmed Massoud guy is quite an ass, judging by his commentary right here and on your site. Not related, thank God.
Same thing happened to me from that crew and I don’t even live in the 6th. I can’t imagine Corey putting up with that when so much is at stake.
Someone needs to step in and take care of this.
Or we could just fan the flames with articles and pictures of Corey.
Neither did one of the candidates.
Virginia GOP coming apart at the seams. Why? Because people can’t be civil. People can’t have adult debates. People are obsessed with their own power and position. People demand mindless obedience instead of building a big tent capable of mutual respect and civil discourse. Folks need to understand that when folks behave this way, it ruins them and their candidates. Folks need to understand that there are lot of ideas, philosophies, and values out there in the American Public and only two political parties in power. If Republicans want to win, we need a big tent of thick-skinned, well-reasoned, respectful, thoughtful, compassionate people looking to work together for the common good! We need good, solid human beings as the face of the Republican Party.
I used to think that way but got tired of losing. Let me put it this way, almost any republican is better than a democrat when it comes to good and solid. Mad Maxine has threatened every republican with violence, so maybe we had best understand the context for this disagreement before we jump from the frying pan into the PC fire.
So you now agree that we shouldn’t be trying to drive what you call “populists” from the Republican party? Does a big tent include all those unsavory populists? Or are you saying that populists should be excluded because they are not good solid human beings? I might actually agree with your statement, if I understood who passes your test of being “well-reasoned, thoughtful, compassionate”.
From my point of view, the GOP is not coming apart at the seams at all. There have always been extremely bitter contests inside both political parties. Of course we should call out bad behavior when it happens, but we should be very careful about banning people, and especially careful about banning factions of people, because a winning big tent will necessarily include some people we really don’t like very much.
Undocumented Republicans are worthy and deserving of the banhammer, and Libertarians have their own sandbox to play in outside of the GOP — we just need to just help them find their way home.
SBT has trolled us relentlessly with anti-Trump and anti-Stewart screeds, but I still have hope for his ultimate redemption. The Republican party is the only viable roadblock to insane leftists wreaking havoc on what the founders created.
The Nevers sadly are useless Republicans, but at least they are outnumbered by real Republicans who continue to fight, while the Nevers are busy preserving their principles. Many have come around already, so there is hope for SBT.
The vast majority of the nasty folks come from a single camp. Though, a hundred bad apples doesn’t spoil an orchard. I’m happy to disagree with populists as much as I disagree with moderates and libertarians. Disagreement is fine. Leaving a trail of disastrous campaigns and silencing everyone not in your own camp, well, that’s just stupid and it hurts the whole party.
Yes, that’s why RINO’s, #nevers, and fringes are being freed up for other happiness pursuits.
Add up your Anti-Corey, Never Trump and badmouthing of populists and this is what you get.
Running concern-trolling tabloid gossip is on your Cruzcinelli side.
Better call Jack. He should be able to fix it.
Will there be a rebuttal article?
Sure, if someone writes it and sends it to us.
I guess I am anticipating. This sounds just too polemic, and I get a bit antsy when I read something like this. After all the anti-trump rhetoric by our own GOP folk, I wait a week before I conclude anything. What has amazed me about President Trump is he is often proven right after being condemned for being wrong. Am not saying that is the case here but ——
Jeanine, I appreciate that. You’ll have my rebuttal hopefully within a day or two. As much as I do appreciate nom-de-plumes and the ability to remain anonymous, mine will be out there for everyone to know who it came from.
Be sure your forthcoming rebuttal addresses each specific reference to comments made by Roger Jarrell. A blanket rebuttal is not sufficient. If he said even one of the things this article cites, he needs to be removed from any place of influence…and so do those who defend him.
I didn’t see anything cited, I saw an anonymous hit piece much like the ones that went out against Bryce Reeves and Corey Stewart.
Separatists gotta separate.
We have seen screen shots of him saying these things on Facebook.
Have these been posted anywhere publicly? And if so, can you provide a link?
Matt – would you like to see the screen shots that are referred to above? Message me and I’ll be more than glad to share with you.
John – Sure. But is there no way for these to be publicly available? With all the infighting embarrassing the district, the more that is in the public eye and incontrovertible, the better.
Uh, talk to TBE about that one. Which do you want me to send to you, Roger Jarrell saying I belong in Baghdad because of my name, Jarrell calling everyone who voted for either Scott Sayre or Cynthia Dunbar a crude form of homosexual, or Jarrell calling someone you know personally the B word and a “hag”? Or do you want all of them?
Check your FB messages – and you’ll see the screen shots.
Thanks. This guy is a Grade A creep!
Matthew – did you see the screen shots showing him saying I needed to move to Baghdad because of my name – the screen shots of Roger Jarrell calling anyone who voted for Dunbar or Sayre a crude form of homosexual, and the screen shot of him calling our friend the B word? Can you confirm those here please?
And if anyone wants, I am more than glad to show these screen shots to anyone who messages me on FB.
I received the screen shots John references. Absolutely shameful comments by Mr. Jarrell. Not only are his statements bigoted, but he directs them at some of the hardest working champions of conservatism I know. It’s clear just how small Mr. Jarrell’s concept of the big tent really is.
Really? Have you seen them on Facebook? After articles here disbelieve metadata, hopefully you aren’t being played by sh**posts. Perhaps that’s why Mr. P. didn’t include the graphics?
Yes, I have seen them. I have no idea why the author chose not to use them.
I’m curious as to what makes people playing in politics set themselves on fire with social media.
Thank you Craig. One big problem is screen shots of Roger Jarrell writing these things on Facebook. Can’t anyone shut him up?
Maybe some kind of censorship or punishment?
I know, how ‘bout we give him the Fredy treatment, and kick him off state central?
Isn’t that the pattern? Crucify in blogs, rumors, anonymous accusations, then gin up the outrage, call him anti-Semitic, take quotes out of contexts and make up ‘a pattern of misbehaviors.’
Political Correctness comes to the GOP and TBE becomes the home to tabloid blogging.
Posner’s article is crap and clearly indicates RINOs on the right are no different from RINOs on the left — and no different in tactics and approach of the leftist democrat party.
I hope it’s worth it.
Oh alright, I’ll do some in comments, but I try not to overexposed.
What is wrong with you? This “article” makes tabloids look like gospel.
This is what you get when you let ‘Liberty-minded’ into the GOP.
You are reliably pathetic.
Yes, yes I am.
Just what we needed for campaign season. Would someone please stand up and lead the 6th District? Where are the adults?
Spending $30K of donations on shared legal efforts?
Because their now chair, Jennifer Brown, filed SEC complaints.
Incorrect.
only because ill-tempered sorry-a$$ losers brought ridiculous charges against fellow Republicans. Drop the charges and the problem goes away.
I disagree, using power of govt for political tussle is what dems do.
You prove my point that 6th committee is holding party money hostage.
Either the complaints are valid or they are not. The absence of transparency in this matter shows there is indeed fire where smoke has been filed.
Actually Nixonante – all this shows is that some in the GOP are as bad as the liberals when it comes to using government as a club against a political rival. Which is the reason the 6th District is coming apart at the seams.
Or some in the GOP using their position and power to favor their faction at the expense of party. So it goes.
We are here in large numbers and doing our job… the antics relayed in this article do absolutely nothing to win elections. Agree.
Wow! Who would date this bigot, much less agree to marry him?! It doesn’t say much for Jennifer Brown. Is she as bigoted as her financee?
If her anti-semitic comments on facebook count for that level of bigotry, it appears so.
Are there any examples of anti-semitic comments you can share?
Here is one, but I think it is okay because the Bull Elephant folks like him.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-politics/whitbeck-apologizes-for-anti-semitic-joke-at-gop-rally/2013/09/21/519d7c68-22e8-11e3-b73c-aab60bf735d0_story.html?utm_term=.2cd809273c9b
You came here to blast John Whitbeck? How bizarre. He doesn’t live in the 6th district and has nothing to do with this post. Move along.
No, just showing your hypocrisy.
And no one cares. Don’t you hate when that happens?
You cared enough to respond, right?
It’s not that we like him, we fear him — he makes Mike Thomas look like Tickle Me Elmo. I hope Whitbeck takes over the Ginsburg seat quickly and doesn’t instead come back to the RPV to enact corrective measures.
These two need to go. We don’t need bigots like them representing our party.
You preferring other bigots? Which ones?
Plenty to choose from…
Says the woman who supported the anti-Semitic John Whitbeck
You’re gone. Post deleted. John Whitbeck is not anti-Semitic and we don’t tolerate such accusations. Buh-bye
You literally called Roger Jarrell a bigot and then tell anyone who has an opinion about John Whitbeck’s comment – a comment that Ken Cuccinelli said was inappropiate – that you don’t tolerate such “accusations.” You are a hypocrite.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-politics/virginia-gop-candidate-cuccinelli-condemns-anti-semitic-joke-by-gop-activist/2013/09/18/da8a86f2-2062-11e3-8459-657e0c72fec8_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.1e15d1cb58b1
I am not going to argue with you. I’ve known John Whitbeck for years and I know he is not an anti-semite.
That is fine hypocrite.
What level of bigotry is acceptable for you?
Oy vasemear, Jennifer Brown is NOT antisemitic..
Just read the “Article” again. And your comment…
Best cure for the typo, comment, and article would be the Seb Gorka memory hole.
I really thought we were better than that.
