What's this about Luther Olsen being a daddy?

I've heard rumors that Olsen fathered a child by one of his household help years ago. Anyone know any thing about this?

1. Another Schwarzenegger's love child story?

I have not heard anything about Olsen but then anything is possible with these NEOCON slugs

2. Here's a link to a story about it.

At this point it's still a rumor, but it seems everyone in the home town knew/heard about it as if it were fact. As far as I can tell, Olsen hasn't confirmed or denied that he got a teenage babysitter pregnant and then paid off her parents to keep quiet.

Very creepy.

3. Politiscoop

found and article in Politiscoop. Saw him being interviewed and when asked about the baby he supposedly had with his teen aged baby sitter he wouldn't answer and walked away. His wife is very protective of him during interviews.

6. You're right, ewagner

But I think some really deep investigation is called for and quickly.

7. What do you mean it can only hurt us?

Could you clarify your statement because if the shoe was on the other foot the NEOCONS would crucify us with sort of thing! Your statement implies you know something about this incident.

8. In this way...

If we don't have a smoking gun, it will be played by the other party as "going negative" or "dirty politics".

Olson can then become the victim rather than the villain...and we get smeared for spreading false stories...

They will go for the sympathy vote in a close race...we can't take that chance..his record of supporting Walker is damaging enough.

You're right the Rethugs would run with it as "we can't vouch for this but SOME SAY....." We're not real good at playing victim like they are....

11. I believe the Olson indiscretion with a teenage babysitter should be announced from every rooftop

I do not know if the story is true. Do we want assemblyman Fred Clark to win the election? As I write this a clearly racist commercial is on the air for Luther Olson. Individuals voting for Olson will vote for him, unless the story about his baby with the teenage baby sitter is introduced loudly and could be true. Let's strongly get the word out on this and then wait for him to forcefully deny the allegation. I doubt that Olson will answer the inquiries on the matter. Please, don't use the Marquis of Queensbury rules again, while the Repukes are kicking us in the you know wheres.

13. Now that Olsen won his election by the skinny skin of his teeth

Using of this information certainly can't backfire on the democrat candidate now? The least the Democratic Party can do is call for an investigation.
