Melanie Sloane’s political slashing machine, CREW (the so-called “Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington” group the lawyer heads up) has been using the Federal system to fund her illicit organization, trumping up charges against those who oppose the progressive agenda one of her key financiers, George Soros, pushes. THE FREEDOMIST has acquired an email from Melanie Sloan to her CREW members, directly connecting the trumped up complaint her political assassination machine issued against Christine O’Donnell (using Melanie Sloan’s father and a low-level fundraising advisor who claimed to be a key financial advisor to the campaign) to getting her members...

One of the more amusing examples of Left wing's hysteria over Christine O'Donnell is her January 28, 2009, meeting with a potential donor at Lone Star Steakhouse at 307 Rocky Run Parkway, Wilmington, Delaware, where the bill totalled $22.16. For some reason, this one trivial expense has tongues flapping. For liberal elitist expense accounts from New York City and Inside-the-Beltway, $22.16 is not enough for two people to eat. Therefore -- they wildly speculate without foundation -- O'Donnell had to be eating alone, not meeting with a potential donor as a "fund-raising expense." (Of course, not everyone present at a...

A great deal has been written about Saul Alinsky’s book “Rules for Radicals.” Much of it tends to ignore the rules and focus on other things, like whether Alinsky was a communist. I think that knowing and understanding the rules is very helpful to those of us who participate in the fight for freedom. I came by my knowledge of Brother Saul and the “Rules” over a lifetime of work fighting labor unions, particularly public sector labor unions. Alinsky’s teachings have a tremendous impact on the tactics of public sector unions, like the National Education Association. Over the years I...

Nets Bolster Accusers of Christine O'Donnell, Ignore Liberal Nature of Watchdog CREW By: Brad Wilmouth Friday, December 31, 2010 As the broadcast network morning newscasts on Thursday each interviewed former Delaware Republican Senate nominee Christine O’Donnell regarding allegations that she misused campaign money, in the setup piece on each network, the correspondent failed to inform viewers of credibility weaknesses on the part of O’Donnell’s accusers and omitted O’Donnell’s contention that she did not use campaign money to pay for rent on her home. Additionally, only CBS’s Jan Crawford informed viewers that the group pushing for an investigation - the Center...

Proving allegations against O'Donnell false, on March 20, 2009, Christine O'Donnell filed with the Federal Election Commission as a candidate for the US Senate race in 2010. Filling up a slow news week with fake news, the mainstream media fabricated a story about an unconfirmed supposed investigation of Christine O'Donnell's campaign finances. While one anonymous person claims to have been interviewed, other key (likely) witnesses deny having been contacted and official agencies refused to comment. The accusations were brought by the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (C.R.E.W.). CNN reported on December 30, 2010, that for the first time...

RINO conspiracy? Federal authorities have opened a criminal investigation of Delaware Republican Christine O’Donnell to determine if the former Senate candidate broke the law by using campaign money to pay personal expenses, according to a person with knowledge of the investigation.The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to protect the identity of a client who has been questioned as part of the probe. The case, which has been assigned to two federal prosecutors and two FBI agents in Delaware, has not been brought before a grand jury…At least two former campaign workers have alleged that she...

Another "slow news day" fake news story about Christine O'Donnell was generated from a non-event on Wednesday, December 30. What do journalists do when there isn't any news? MAKE IT UP! The Associated Press reported that a single person was interviewed in the routine handling of the September 21, 2010 complaint by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW). That is exactly what is expected, nothing new, and does not indicate that anything new has happened. In response to a September 2010, complaints by the left-wing Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (C.R.E.W.) and Delaware Republican Chair Tom...

Of course, they had to use an unflattering photo of conservative Christine O’Donnell for their report. Friends of Christine O’Donnell released this statement tonight. Christine O’Donnell’s campaign released the following statement in response to rumors of a legal investigation. The O’Donnell campaign revealed that prior to today Democrat insiders had warned her that the “Establishment” were planning to use phony investigations to end her political career. Campaign Manager Matt Moran responded to the rumor of a criminal investigation, “We have heard absolutely nothing other than the same unsubstantiated allegations and rumors that have been circulating in the press for months....

Slate’s David Weigel has complied his list of the five biggest political gaffes of 2010 that weren’t really gaffes. But before we get to Weigel’s gaffes, I want to highlight his lead, which lays out well the forever-changed media landscape: The 2010 midterms marked the final handover of political news judgment from the professionals to the amateurs and operatives. Consider: Four years ago, when then-Sen. George Allen of Virginia, then running for re-election, called a Democratic video tracker “Macaca,” you could not see the video on your phone. You couldn’t tweet it. It was largely up to news organizations whether...

BALTIMORE (AP) -- A person with knowledge of a federal campaign-finance investigation says a criminal probe has been opened into whether Delaware Republican Christine O'Donnell broke the law by using campaign money to pay personal expenses. The person spoke on condition of anonymity to protect the identity of a client who has been questioned in the probe.

Delaware's Republican Party Chair Tom Ross called it "A VERY UGLY TURN" when the Tea Party Express chose to support a conservative challenger to Sore Loser Republican Mike Castle. Tom Ross said on National Public Radio on September 8, 2010, TALK OF THE NATION: "Tea Party Sets Sights On Delaware" with JENNIFER LUDDEN, host: QUOTE: "But the campaign kind of took a very ugly turn about a week ago, when all of a sudden the Tea Party Express announced that they were going to get involved" UNQUOTE. Ross then quickly sought to intentionally blur the involvement of the Tea Party...

Democrats were apparently under-represented in Delaware’s US Senate race on November 2, 2010, according to CNN exit polls taken on election night. Voter registration for Delaware’s 2010 election totaled Democrats: 47 %. Republicans: 29.4%. “Other” & Independents: 23.5% (Voter registration closed on October 9, 2010.

Mike Castle would have lost the US Senate race in Delaware to Democrat Chris Coons, according to surprising exit polls by CNN in Delaware on election day, November 2, 2010. Contradicting theories advanced by Delaware Republican insiders, voters in Delaware on November 2 would have elected Democrat Chris Coons regardless of whether the Republican nominee were Mike Castle or Christine O’Donnell. The analysis places the focus on calls for systemic reforms of the Republican Party of Delaware. According to CNN: “despite pre-election polls that showed longtime Republican Rep. Mike Castle handily beating Coons in a hypothetical match-up, the voters who...

It probably wasn't an endorsement Hillary Clinton welcomed. One of the wilder members of the Tea Party movement hopes the US Secretary of State will run against President Barack Obama in the 2012 Democratic primaries. "I would love to see her take out Obama," said Christine O'Donnell, the Delaware conservative who made headlines during this year's mid-term elections by denying she was a witch.

Well. We've just seen, the fruits of our corrupt, lame, spineless and wimpy "Republicans" idea of how to deal with democrats: Surrender. Abject surrender. How deeply disappointing this month has been.

The Delaware News Journal retroactively promoted quixotic gadfly David Keegan to Christine O'Donnell's "CAMPAIGN MANAGER" -- continuing the News Journal's perfect record of inaccuracies, falsehoods, and sloppy reporting. In a "We're on vacation and have nothing new to report on" RETREAD story, the News Journal repeated an old attack from the George Soros-funded Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) against Christine O'Donnell on December 22, 2010. But the News Journal added one new bit of false nonsense: The News Journal falsely reported that David Keegan was "campaign manager" for Christine O'Donnell's 2008 US Senate campaign, in the process...
