Democrats Intimidate Voters with Baseball Bats, Republicans with Voter Guides

Monday, November 7, 2016

Every cycle the Democrats and their allies on the left make unfounded allegations of intimidation against Republicans, yet they remain silent on actual intimidation.

The strongest example yet of the hypocrisy is in North Carolina where Democrats were mad about a Republican voter guide being passed out. The response to a perfectly legal voter guide by one North Carolina Democrat official is to call it a (bold emphasis added):

“cheap psychology is being used and some voters don’t know any better and think the culprit is being sincere. We need enough volunteers at both sites and also on Election day to NIP THIS IN THE BUD even if a baseball bat is necessary.”

This is clear intimidation. Under pressure from the North Carolina GOP, the Democrat Party official retracted this. To their credit, the Democrat Party of North Carolina condemned it as well.

However, while RNLA condemned reports of alleged anonymous supporters of Mr. Trump discussing intimidation, no national figure or group on the left has even commented on the actual calls for intimidation by a North Carolina Democrat official.

Why? It certainly leads credibility to those who say:

Democrats have little concrete to show for a week of legal battles charging Donald Trump and his allies with a sweeping voter intimidation campaign, but the effort may pay off politically for Hillary Clinton by energizing her backers to get to the polls to stop a real or imagined GOP onslaught.

No one should forget the actual intimidation that has taken place in North Carolina with the firebombing of a North Carolina GOP headquarters and political vandalism. This make the comments even more troubling.

some voters don’t know any better

Then they should stay at home.

So just a string of tweets complaining.

Not one tweet about them stopping it.

Easier said then done I would imagine. The whole machine set in place there is tight as a drum.

I talked to my daughter this morning. She lives in Raleigh and her voting precinct is in a heavy student area, although she is not a student.

She told me that while standing in line, there were several Democrat operatives handing out "sample' ballots with only Democrat names on them, complete with the Wake County Board of Elections Logo on them. There was no similar effort by the Republican side.

These people know how they operate, and have for years.

Instead of just showing up like they are from Podunkland, they should have had officials with them, and a sheriff if necessary.

I always tell voters to throw any Democrat crap on the ground after being handed that crap from an operative.

That way, it is the Democrat stooge problem and they will have to pick up the litter.

You could also accidentally have to step on that trash so you can safely get on your way into the polling place.

One of the twitter (whatever they are called) says this:

UPDATE: Ward 13-14 -- Won't allow our Minority Inspector in, threatened to call police. GO AHEAD.

Another one says:

UPDATE: Ward 37-15 -- Poll Watcher certificate has been stolen by somebody in polling place & torn up.

Yet another:

UPDATE: Ward 6-2 (West Philly) -- Reports that JUDGE OF ELECTIONS is entering polling place to "help voters

One last one:

Ward 8-10 -- 17th & SPRING GARDEN: court-appointed Minority Inspector refused entry. @PhillyPolice have been called.

Our military heroes have faced our enemies since 1776 and every day since as did the heroes in Benghazi!! Voters MUST have the gonads to face Liberal vermin at the polls! It’s our country, our freedom, and our future we’re fighting for now. Go Trump!!!

Let’s Roll!!

The only way any of those listed above would fail to vote is if we left in a pine box : )
