A rolling tape on an answering machine caught an unsuspecting Rep. Fred Clark, D-Baraboo, saying he wanted to "smack around" a woman from his district after she hung up on him. Clark, who is challenging Sen. Luther Olsen, R-Ripon, in a recall election, was making campaign calls last week when he reached the Baraboo home of Sue and John Stapelman. The answering machine took the call at first, but Sue Stapelman then picked up. The machine's tape kept recording. After Clark introduced himself, he told Sue Stapelman that he was challenging Olsen in the upcoming recall election. Stapelman responded: "Yeah, and isn't that a crime." She then hung up on Clark, but her answering machine kept the line open and continued recording. Clark apparently did not know he was being recorded when, after a short pause, he said to his campaign staffer: "OK. I feel like calling her back and smackin' her around." Clark apologized for the comment Monday. "In a moment of frustration after a discouraging phone conversation last week, I made a clearly inappropriate comment to my campaign staffer after the call," Clark said. "I understand the statement was completely inappropriate under any circumstance and I want to apologize. I am deeply sorry for any distress this incident my have caused for Ms. Stapelman or anyone in her family." Clark said he has called and left a message apologizing to the Stapelmans, and hopes to speak with them in person soon. John Stapelman said Monday he and his wife are not happy about the comment. "I think that was totally inappropriate and my wife thinks it was pretty inappropriate, too," Stapelman said. He said he doesn't think Clark actually was threatening his wife, but the incident does not speak to Clark's character. "We're pretty independent, actually," Stapelman said of he and his wife's political leanings. "I have to say in this current situation, I'm leaning toward the (Republicans) for fiscal responsibility reasons, in addition to what happened here." Clark is challenging Olsen for his Senate seat after 14th District residents signed a petition to recall Olsen for his support of Republican Gov. Scott Walker's bill to restrict collective bargaining for government workers. Stapelman, a nurse anesthetist at St. Clare Hospital, said he spoke with coworkers about the Clark recording and later received a call from the Republican Party of Wisconsin. John Hogan, director of the Committee to Elect a Republican Senate, went to Stapelman's home to verify the recording and make a copy. The Republican Party of Wisconsin issued a press release about the comment Monday and made the recording available on its website. (A copy of the recording also has been posted at www.baraboonewsrepublic.com.) "This disturbing and inappropriate comment gives us an unfortunate glimpse of what Representative Clark is like when he thinks no one is listening," Hogan said in the news release. "Domestic violence is a devastating problem in our state, and abuse is on the rise. To be able to so freely threaten violence against a woman, even in jest, shows a tremendous lack of character." Sue Stapelman said Monday she didn't have much to say about the matter. "I was just pretty much flabbergasted when I heard what he said," Stapelman said. "It kind of speaks to his respect for his constituents. He obviously doesn't have very much respect for the voters." Send email to tdamos@capitalnewspapers.com.

You wouldn't be just another lying libTURD cunt would you weasel fucker? (btw whore, DwarF is 100% your kind of filth!) LOL! Here kitty KITTY ... LOL!
Spoiled, stupid and ignorant, brain dead phuckwads, libTURD fools, tools, and idiots, are the real sickness; the messiah "king" obammy and his regime are only the symptoms.

Yes Steve, we know you are an expert on lying; and resentments. You also are abusive and a control freak who has difficulties with how ineffective your games in forum are. You have trouble understanding you pick your targets poorly. Most here have been tempered by the process of political discourse and have very thick skins politically. If you want targets that will give you the bang for your buck in these games, you are going to have to move south to Anchorage or the lower 48 to find appropriate targets of opportunity. Your online sideshow entertains me. Nothing about it touches me as you wish it would. Better yet, were you to be here and working the other side of the political fence locally, I would easily make you my bitch if you did a face to face politically with me. Though I would probably have to take a number to do so; because I imagine you know how to make yourself a popular chew toy when you run with other political dogs. Face it Steve, you are an old has been destined to grow older and sicker until you die in rural Alaska. And I can't imagine even you're funeral will get much attendance if you impress people locally as little as you do here. Thanks for sharing and by all meanm never stop posting to me. I like watching you chase and bark at your tail.

Stevie, my favorite mouth breather. Nice of you to post again today. Thanks. Tour propensity to spambo out shows you have more balls then brains, and little of each item. Nice to see I am in your head. ;-)

Tim Burton does Dr. Seuss, that's what this post reminds me of. Tell you what Steve, frame out a story and prose it out in that style, and sell it to people as sick on you on the Internet. You should make enough from that to buy and crew a fishing boat of your own. You could even captain it yourself. I bet you would make a great Captain William Bligh.
