Dean's minions received a less than friendly welcome at a Florida gas station earlier this month.

Bradlee Dean and his You Can Run But You Cannot Hide "ministry" landed in hot water last summer for conducting shady fundraising at an Iowa Hy-Vee store.

A year later, members of Dean's troupe are hanging out at gas stations in Florida, again trying to raise funds so Bradlee can disseminate his message of antipathy for homosexuals, Muslims, and liberals. And at least one woman is very unhappy to see them there.

Who's up for a road trip down to Florida!?

Michele Bachmann and Bradlee Dean go way back. For instance, when Bradlee found himself taking heat for an anti-gay prayer he delivered before the Legislature back in 2011, Michele came to his aid with a prayer of her own where she professed support for Bradlee and asked God to transform Minnesota into a "sweet-smelling incense of praise and sacrifice."

Sure, Dean threw his prayer-pal under the bus a few months later, but in two weeks, Minnesota's most notorious right-wing nutjobs will be back together again.

Dean's latest ridiculous media beef is with Wonkette.

As we've chronicled in painstaking detail, the defamation lawsuit Bradlee Dean filed against Rachel Maddow was so preposterous, a judge ended up ordering Dean to pay thousands and thousands of dollars to cover her legal fees.

You'd think Dean might learn from his mistakes, right? Wrong. Because as Wonkette reveals today, Dean recently sent them a letter threatening another defamation lawsuit, this one against them. And suffice it to say the good folks at Wonkette aren't exactly shaking in their left-leaning shoes.

Dean delivers his ditch-side speech in Florida on Wednesday.

We've been intentionally ignoring Bradlee Dean for months -- after all, America's foremost tracksuit-wearing homophobe just doesn't have the juice he did during the MNGOP's most recent heyday -- but this video is just too good to pass over.

WHAT DEAN TALKS ABOUT DURING HIS SCHOOL SPEECHES: Bradlee Dean's troupe to Iowa public school: Homosexual lifestyle 'literally kills' gays [VIDEO]

Dean is in the southeast for a tour of some sort, and his agenda included a Wednesday stop to spread his version of conspiracy-mongering intolerance at Spanish River High in Boca Raton, Florida. But when Dean showed up, the principal booted him off school grounds, so Bradlee opted for a symbolically-powerful plan B -- giving his prepared talk on the edge of the nearest ditch he could find.

Who needs real George Washington quotes when fake ones better serve your purpose?

Bradlee Dean often invokes the Founding Fathers' words as justification for his unique brand of tracksuit-adorned crazy. But if civil libertarian blogger Ed Brayton can be believed, Bradlee isn't above pulling words from his you-know-where and putting them in Father George Washington's mouth.

In his latest column -- provocatively and no doubt accurately entitled "56 Million Dead Thanks to Gov't Gun Control" -- Dean kicks things off with the following quote from our first president: "Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth." According to Brayton, this isn't just a fake quote -- it's a "bastardized version of a much longer fake quote that often makes the rounds in those idiotic emails you get forwarded by your ignorant uncle."

Despite a judge's order, Dean still refuses to make Maddow whole.

Last week, judge Joan Zeldon ordered Bradlee Dean to pay Rachel Maddow and the now-defunct Minnesota Independent the $24,625 in legal fees he owes them by this Tuesday.

Well, Tuesday came and went without Dean paying up. So what's Dean's plan? It appears he and his attorney, Larry Klayman -- who has legal problems of his own involving an allegation he sexually abused his own children -- are arguing that Judge Zeldon should be removed from Dean's case because she's a supporter of "leftist ideology."

A D.C. judge ordered Dean to pony up.

Since late June, Bradlee Dean has owed Rachel Maddow and the now-defunct Minnesota Independent $24,625 in legal fees stemming from a ridiculous defamation lawsuit he failed against them.

In the meantime, America's most notorious gay-unfriendly tracksuit-wearing preacher has found himself in hot water with the IRS thanks to his deceptive fundraising practices, and he's also found time to make fun of Maddow's looks on Facebook. But now, the joke is on Dean, as Monday a D.C. judge ordered Dean and his legally troubled representation to cough up the $25k by next week.

Dean thinks Obama is going to take away everyone's guns if he's reelected.

Bradlee Dean thinks President Obama is coming for your guns. And he's worried about the possibility of a Soviet-style, Obama administration-led mass execution of unarmed Americans after our firearms are taken away.

Given his well-documented history of crazy, it seems strange to say this, but the country's foremost tracksuit-wearing homophobe preacher might be losing his mind.

The irony is, we'd venture to guess 99 people out of 100 find Maddow to be more attractive than Dean.

Bradlee Dean took to Facebook on Tuesday to take a cheap shot at one of his longtime rivals, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow.

But instead of blasting Maddow for her lefty politics or support for "the radical homosexual agenda," Dean contented himself with making fun of her looks. Stay classy, Bradlee.

Jim Graves says he has no personal beef with Michele Bachmann. In fact, in his eyes, she's wonderful.

Talk about an odd couple -- yesterday, Jim Graves called in to Bradlee Dean's radio show and did a fairly lengthy interview with Minnesota's most notorious tracksuit-wearing homophobe.

The banter between Dean, Dean's sidekick Jake 'homosexual lifestyle literally kills gays' Macaulay, and Graves was surprisingly genial, but the interview was less than revealing, as Dean and Macaulay seemed more intent on taking shots at Graves' pro-choice and pro-gay stances than they were in actually asking the congressional candidate questions.
