Hatch caught in embarrassing online tryst with publisher of stolen Democratic documents
Twice in the days before right wing activist Kay Daly published stolen Democratic documents on her website, Senator Orrin Hatch appeared on fringe internet radio shows with her.
On Oct. 29, 2003, he appeared on her Free Republic radio "Daly Show" and on Nov. 11, 2003, he appeared on another Free Republic radio show with her. Manuel Miranda appeared on Ms. Daly's radio show just two weeks earlier.
Kay Daly was the first person to publish complete versions of the stolen documents. Miranda still denies leaking the stolen documents.
Orrin Hatch denies having any knowledge of the stolen documents. Their appearances on the internet-broadcast radio shows days before she obtained the documents calls into question their denials.
It is highly unusual that a sitting United States Senator, the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, would appear on two fringe internet radio broadcasts in two weeks. The same could be said for a top staffer in the Senate Leader's office, especially in the busy days leading up to the Republicans' faux filibuster.
For reasonable observers, it is hard to believe that the timing of these events is purely coincidental. This is one reason a criminal investigation is absolutely necessary.

Saw this little ditty while doing a Google search on Otero Mesa oil and gas drilling and thought I'd post it. Check out the link -- this obscure local NM publication has bought into both MoveOn.org and PeacefulTomorrows.org propaganda, and underscores how hard we have to work to overcome the problems President Bush will have in winning a second term.
Define fringe. Maxine Waters appeared on Amy Goodman's "Democracy Now" (on the socialist/progressive Pacfica Network) recently when Aristide left Haiti and it was excerpted by SeeBS News without any damning qualifier to the type of program she appeared on.
The crew at Pacifica tried to mobilize a movement in the streets to push for President Bush's impeachment over Aristide.
With a mainstream media that serves such a radical agenda (complicant with a network of low power stations in a handful of cities), it is no wonder that in Bush Country Americans are turning to other avenues for information.
MoveOn.org is never identified as a partisan PAC.
