'Freeper' sued
President Bush's 60-million-vote re-election triumph might have helped Inside the Beltway readers forget those 36 days in late 2000, when it seemed that Al Gore's squads of lawyers might deprive Mr. Bush of his narrow victory in Florida. Providing moral support for Mr. Bush during the Florida recount nightmare were members of FreeRepublic.com.
The "Freepers," as they call themselves, staged pro-Bush demonstrations across the country, from Palm Beach County to Washington, D.C., — where their chants of "Get out of Cheney's house" reportedly were loud enough to rattle Mr. Gore's nerves inside the vice presidential residence at the Naval Observatory.
Now, four years later, a Freeper says he is being bankrupted by a Democrat's lawsuit over a Dec. 2, 2000, protest in Connecticut.
"I am broke and thousands of dollars in debt," writes Jim Bancroft, who led a pro-Bush rally in front of the New Haven, Conn., home of Democratic vice-presidential candidate Sen. Joe Lieberman.
At the 2000 rally, Mr. Bancroft explains, he intervened when the leader of a Democratic counterprotest rushed toward former state Sen. Tom Scott, who was speaking from the back of Mr. Bancroft's truck.
"I thought he was going to attack someone on the truck: either me or Tom," says Mr. Bancroft. He stopped the Democratic protester, who was then hustled away by police.
"Tom and I decided not to press charges for assault or trespass on my truck, and let him go. Nine months later, the man filed suit against me for assault. I am not joking — nine months later."
The result: Thousands of dollars in legal bills for Mr. Bancroft, who has been working temporary jobs since he was laid off during the telecommunications industry meltdown of 2001...

Yes, I did get that one! You only wrote your name in the return address, your screen name only!
Sounds like a cause for Mr. Richard Mellon Scaife, if he's listening.
I read a link you posted on the doings of your persecutor, and there is no doubt that he is a politically connected cockroach of the second order, an Al Sharpton wannabe.
It would take serious money and effort, but smearing this guy over the landscape and shining a strong searchlight on the corrupt New Haven political scene (I read several of the articles) could have a cleansing effect on local politics. What I see is the biggest impediment is the cynicism of the newsies filing the stories, and their baneful attitude toward Republicans, who seem to be dominated by the local Yale-connected country-club mafia. The newsies seem to be languid in their contempt for both the machine Democratic chiselers and grafters, on the one hand, and the well-to-do Republicans on the other.
Not that the entry of Scaife into the arena would do much to help, but it seems there is a real lack of grassroots, down-to-earth, conservative Republicans in Connecticut, or that they are all stigmatized somehow as mere UConn graduates or something -- not real Republicans, who all go to Yale.
Or is my radar picture off?

he he he! Enjoy and good luck!
Check with these Conservative/Pro-Family pro-bono type legal groups: The Rutherford Institute, American Center for Law and Justice (greater D.C. area) and Pacific Justice Institute (Sacramento CA area). If they can't help, ask for referrals, there are others. Attn. all: The above ones are definitely worthy of writing a check to, true Freepers in spirit if not here online....
If they did then there would be a 400 post thread on the "jack booted thugs" killing an innocent man.
I make occasional "nature noises" myself.....
Outrageous Freeper ping
