Jeff Kropf of Americans For Prosperity: Asshole of the Week

June 3, 2011 by Ken White

When Debbie Lee Higbee, a 54-year-old hairdresser in Gladstone, Oregon was murdered, many people thought it was sad. No doubt one of the most devastated was her long-term partner, Gladstone police sergeant Lynne Benton.

Jeff Kropf, former Oregon state representative and Oregon director for the group Americans for prosperity, thought this story was sad, too.

It's possible Jeff Kropf doesn't think that it's sad for the same reasons you do, though.

Now, anyone can express themselves poorly, particularly on Facebook. Maybe Jeff Kropf garbled what he meant to say and cleared it up when he had a chance, right?

Right?

Oh. Wow.

Jeff Kropf, you are our asshole of the week, beating out vexatious litigants, anti-Semites, and career white supremacists. Congratulations.

Jeff, to put it in terms you are familiar with: you are a sick, amoral freak.

(hat tip to Walter Olson)

    No, the anti-circumcision tract is worse, but not by a lot. Mr Kropf is a douche who is amoral and anti-gay, I suspect because it interferes with his blowing bulldogs somehow.

    Wow.

    Are we sure this guy isn't some kind of plant for the other side?

    So, can some of those commenters get runner-up asshole-of-the-week status? Cause, like, wow.

    Yeah, but they reflect assholeness back onto their Facebook friend Jeff Kropf. Just like when you accepted my friend request on Facebook.

    There's like a million Scott Jacobs on Facebook. The ones I saw all looked . . normal.

    I photo-shopped the skin so it wasn't all green and scaly…

    Look for the one with "Jr" after his name. :)

    I quite agree that Kropf is a major asshole (and stupid to boot), but he can't get the top AH spot when there is an actual murderer in the story. Susan Ellen Campbell has been arrested, not convicted, so I can't put her name in, but whoever put a bullet into Debbie Lee Higbee is miles ahead (asshole-wise) than anyone who just throws words around.

    Is it too late to make a nomination?

    Mark,

    Who are you nominating from that story? I count three individuals worthy of the title: the father, the mother, and the father's attorney. Nuke 'em from orbit; it's the only way!
