Jane Fleming Kleeb, shown at Blue Line Coffee during a stop in downtown Omaha this month, runs a “progressive” political website that takes aim at Nebraska's GOP elected officials.


HASTINGS, Neb. — The Nebraska Republican Party evokes her name to demonize all things leftist in Democratic politics.

She is often mentioned — and rarely in a flattering light — on conservative political blogs.

Her name can easily set off the executive director of Nebraska's largest anti-abortion group, who says this particular Democrat, the newest school board member in Hastings, has the ability to rankle.

Jane Fleming Kleeb is fast becoming a favored foil of state Republicans — lambasted as Nebraska's own Nancy Pelosi.

Kleeb's detractors label her an “East Coast liberal” who cares more about self-promotion than a cause. They also resent the idea that Kleeb is a frequent Fox News guest, going on air to discuss everything from younger voters to abortion.

Anybody remember that name?
