KERRY CAMPAIGN EMPLOYEES ARRESTED

Democratic Party of Wisconsin spokesman Seth Boffeli said the five were paid employees of Kerry's campaign,

Vans, Voters Struggled Against by Democratic Party Activists
Speaking of Fox News, today came the heart-warming story about Democratic "activists" (they are all "activists" in the Democratic Party; only the Republicans have "extremists") committing crimes to prevent people from exercising the franchise. We know the Democratic Party has a long, distinguished history of stopping people from voting (see "Slavery, Party of" or "Jim Crow, Party of" in any old encyclopedia), but this must have been a dissuaded voter too far.

It's about time the authorities did something about the lawlessness in the liberal camp. What began as rumors and worries on the Internet of Republican supporters having their cars vandalized, being attacked or even shot at gradually grew into a loud chorus as many people began telling their stories. Surprisingly, despite all the claims from the Democratic side of Republican "intimidation" and "scare tactics," no similar group of Republicans have been arrested like those detained today in Wisconsin.

Fox News picks up the story:

MILWAUKEE The sons of a first-term congresswoman and Milwaukee's former acting mayor were among five Democratic activists charged Monday with slashing the tires of vans rented by Republicans to drive voters and monitors to the polls on Election Day.

Sowande Omokunde, son of Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Wis., and Michael Pratt, the son of former Milwaukee acting mayor Marvin Pratt, were among those charged with criminal damage to property, a felony that carries a maximum punishment of 3 1/2 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

"Sowande Omokunde" is, of course, an African name which loosely translated means "He Who Employs Thuggery to Keep the Family in Power." Rep. Gwen Moore, a proud new member of the Congressional Black Caucus (motto: If You're Not Liberal, You're Not Black!) (alternative motto: We Hate, Hate, Hate You, Clarence Thomas!) is the first Black ever to represent Wisconsin in Congress. It's heartwarming to see that her family has acted with such honor and grace in fulfilling that solemn charge. We cannot wait to hear Rep. Moore on the floor of the House accusing Republicans of stopping people from voting. Don't think this little incident will stop her!

The activists are accused of flattening the tires on 25 vehicles rented by the state Republican Party to get out the vote and deliver poll watchers Nov. 2.

Wow. 25 vehicles, huh? This was no little prank; it was an organized criminal conspiracy to prevent people from voting. And why? Because Republicans are bad people, silly! They don't deserve to vote. This incident brings to mind the old adage about why the Democrats think they are morally entitled to engage in dishonesty and crime to win: because Republicans think Democrats are wrong, while the Democrats think Republicans are evil. (Except for our girl Ann Coulter. We're pretty sure she thinks Democrats are evil, and not a necessary one at that).

The GOP rented more than 100 vehicles that were parked in a lot adjacent to a Bush campaign office. The party planned to drive poll watchers to polling places by 7 a.m. and deliver any voters who didn't have a ride.

A criminal complaint said the defendants originally planned to put up Democratic yard signs, placards and bumper stickers at the Republican office in a scheme they called "Operation Elephant Takeover." But the plan was dropped when they learned a security guard was posted at the GOP office, the complaint said.

More Republican intimidation tactics! Whatever you try to do or wherever you try to do it, the R's have some guy in a badge putting a scare into you. Fascists.

One witness told investigators the five defendants, dressed in "Mission Impossible" type gear, black outfits and knit caps, left the Democratic Party headquarters at about 3 a.m. on Nov. 2, and returned about 20 minutes later, extremely excited and talking about how they had slashed the tires.

Hey, dudes, let's break out that Ninja gear we've been itching to wear and use it to deny people's most cherished and fundamental right!

Democratic Party of Wisconsin spokesman Seth Boffeli said the five were paid employees of Kerry's campaign, but were not acting on behalf of the campaign or party.

Get that? They are all paid employees of Sen. Kerry, were acting to gain their employer an advantage, but they had nothing whatsoever to do with the Senator's Campaign or Party. This sounds like a job for respondeat superior.

And, just for the record, we're sure the MSM would accept a Republican Party's spokesperson's similar assurances had the criminals been slashing the tires of black voters and working for Karl Rove.

"This is not something we engage in, or encourage. We had to make it clear that this is something these individuals were doing on their own," Boffeli said.

Rick Wiley, state GOP executive director, discovered the vandalism on the morning of Election Day.

"It was unbelievable that people could stoop this low in a political campaign," he said. "I figured it had to be someone from the opposition. But I didn't think someone on the paid Kerry campaign would do this."

Think again, Wiley. The same impulse that led sophisticated legal experts in Washington State to steal the gubernatorial election motivated these young men here: a blind sense of self-righteousness. In fact, if we had to pick one character trait that features most prominently among Democratic "activists," that would be it.

Fortunately for the rest of us, it is also the one trait that loses them election after election.

Those weren't Kerry employees, you liar. Why do you openly lie like that? Kerry has zero scandals of any kind. If anyone in Kerry's employ did anything even remotely unethical he would be fired immediately. Compare to Bush who promotes people for cheating and lying.

Smear boat liar gets caught ...

There is a special election in Ohio for a seat in Congress. This area is 70% GOP, so its not a real contest, but wait ...

A Iraq war veteran is running as the Democrat...So what does the GOP do? Bring out the Smear Boat liars:

A GOP campaign consultant Eric Minamyer on Hackett (the DEM):
"I understand that Hackett did not participate in combat at all. ... Let's just not act as though we led marines in combat if we did not, okay."

But give Minamyer some credit. He was caught and admits he was wrong:
ericminamyer.myblogsite.com

"Did Paul Hackett lead marines in combat?

Yes on October 21, 2004.

Did Paul Hackett command marines at all, if so who?

Yes, at least on that date. The marines are in a picture he shows on the news report.

Was Paul Hackett in combat?

Yes, on October 21, 2004 traveling from Ramadi to Fallujah."
