Dem treasurer says that Columbia County Fair attracts “lowlife”

"Just as the Columbia County Fair was about to open, a top local Democratic official stated on Tuesday in the midst of a testy email exchange that the popular event “always attracts lowlife.” The wrangle began as a simple request from Ghent committee members Patti Matheney and Judy Rusk, urging the County Democrats to join others assisting the family of a local child who has been diagnosed with a very rare form of the disease.

Matheney had been informed by the child’s parent at an August 29th meatball fundraiser at the Chatham firehouse that the County Republicans were planning to put out a collection plate at the Fair. (The GOP effort was reported spearheaded by County Clerk Holly Tanner.) The child’s parent, said to be quite liberal, wondered if the Democrats might do the same.

Within minutes of Rusk’s proposal to the Democratic officers early Tuesday morning, Shakotko shot back via email that:

“there are so many worthy causes and we have not vetted them all. It could very well be there are other more worthy causes we should showcase in our booth. We ought to think carefully about this [...] We would also need someone to guard any money collected like a hawk as the fair always attracts lowlife.”

This is a rural community about 120 miles north of NYC. The annual fair is an agricultural event - in its 176th year. The progressive, mostly downstate, Democrats hold the locals in great contempt. Sam Pratt runs a website that is normally left wing. Apparently even he is getting sick of the Democrat infighting.

I guess they, (the Dems), consider farmers and other productive members of society to be some kind of strange, lower form of life.
