The DNC has issued a long statement, mostly accusing "For decades, Republicans have engaged in systematic voter suppression and intimidation, from throwing minorities off the voter rolls to ripping up Democratic voter registrations. We make no apologies for fighting these tactics by exposing the dirty tricks when they happen, and helping educate local officials and activists about past Republican tactics so they can prevent them from occurring this year."
They also list what the DNC insists is the complete "section of their field manual titled "How to Organize to Prevent and Combat Voter Intimidation" referred to on the Drudge Report, which focuses on how to detect, prevent, and combat voter intimidation practices."
But the lines are still in there: "2. If no signs of intimidation techniques have emerged yet, launch a "pre-emptive strike" (particularly well-suited to states in which there techniques have been tried in the past)."
Most people would say, "if no signs of intimidation techniques have emerged yet... then maybe intimidation isn't going on." But to the DNC, it's just a sign that it hasn't happened yet. And it is an opportunity to "launch a pre-emptive strike," complaining of voter intimidation. Folks, this is the boy who cried wolf.
Apparently there need not be evidence of wrongdoing for these folks to accuse others of wrongdoing.
WHAT A CROCK OF LYING SOB's
When and where have republicans EVER engaged in voter intimidation? Prove It! Empty rhetoric is just that, empty rhetoric.
Nasty, evil Democrats. Next thing you know they'll start accusing Republicans of killing their babies.
You mean killing and eating.
They cease to amaze me.
Yesterday Reports surfaced in Nevada, Oregon and potentially other states of the RNC paying half a million dollars to a company who was ripping up democratic voter registration forms. These activities are currently under investigation.
Last week A former Republican Party executive filed a bogus lawsuit, which was dismissed, trying to knock 17,000 Democratic voters off the voter rolls in Nevada. He told the Las Vegas Review Journal – "I am looking to take Democrats off the voter rolls."
July Republican official John Pappageorge told the Detroit Free Press, "If we do not suppress the Detroit vote we’re going to have a tough time in this election cycle."
Anyone know if this stuff is true?
The DNC is nothing but a bunch of gangsters who are malignant narcissists.

we are waiting....
I doubt it, Jim, Democrats don't consider baby killing any big deal.
They NEVER cease to amze me....obviously
Which explains why it was Democrats who blocked minority voting rights for decades and counts among their faithful a former Grand Kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan.
Sorry, DNC pitch-boys. We ain't buyin' your claptrap.
Standard DNC practice - accuse your opponent of the criminal activity you're about to engage in.
How about if we change voting rights in this country to be like in the book/movie Starship Troopers (I think that's the name, the movie about space Marines fighting alien 'bugs'). Only folks who have honorably completed public service, such as military service, earn the right to vote.
Interesting idea...
That would be NEVER cease to amase me (can't type today).
They're busy accusing Republicans of exactly what they (Dems/Libs) are planning...it'll help take the heat off later.
Anyone else like how they spelled SHAMEFUL as SAMEFUL?
What a bunch of idiots.
I've been intimidated at the polls by union thugs after I turned down their literature.
Does that count?
Time for the RICO Statute to be applied to the DNC.
