Expect tire-slashing charges Monday (Milwaukee)

Regardless, change any one element in the story and imagine the hulabaloo in the press. In stead of Conyers and Boxer alone, the Democrats would have walked out on the certification process.

[Cowboy Bob]

Why haven't the Feds gotten involved? This was clearly an effort to supress voting - a violation of the Voting Right Act.

I don't see anything "fair" here. I see a bunch of snickering and sneering at Republicans for having the temerity to press charges. I also see lots of sarcastic little jabs and nothing but "this incident and the people it happened to (Republicans) are so far beneath us" contempt just oozing from every word.

Does anyone doubt that if these had been democrat vans that had had the tires slashed by Republican campaign workers, there would be mass demonstrations in the streets, outraged editorials in every MSM outlet demanding federal charges for this "hate crime", and wall to wall coverage of McCain, Hagel and Lindsey Graham wringing their hands and bemoaning the takeover of the Republican Party by the "extreme religious right"? Or that these two writers would be at the head of that howling pack?

Now I haven't read any of the other stuff these two have written, so maybe it's better than this. But going on this alone, I'd have to conclude that that they're just a couple more leftist hack Kieth Olberman wannabes.

"Isn't this an attempt to interfere with people's right to vote? "

This was my first thought?
the demonRATS charge Pubbies of doing this in Floor-ra-duh; and Ohio...

[SauronOfMordor]

I never thought they would actually file a felony charge.

The locals file a felony charge to preempt the feds doing so, then the local prosecutors throw the case, so the perps walk

Supreme Solar Allah

To paraphrase Dave Barry, it doesn't even sound like a good name for a rock and roll band...

[Graymatter]

This bears repeating:

DEMOCRATS DELIBERATELY DISENFRANCHISED VOTERS ON NOVEMBER 2ND.

I wonder if John Kerry is aware of this. Or Jesse Jackson. They should be notified of a clear case of vote suppression. And whoever decides about federal charges, should certainly have this case put up close to his nose so he can smell it accurately. It is not mere vandalism.

What is it about people named after Allah and Mohammad that makes them such violent types prone to trying to overthrow governments?

Co-inky-dink I am sure.

[abclily]

Violent types adopt the name Allah and Mohammed so they can use Islam as an excuse to do destruction and murder.

MIDI - BRADY BUNCH

Here's the story...Supreme Solar Allah
Friends, I swear to you that is his real name
He had been out playing tricks and slashing tires
That's how he's come to fame

Here's the story...of his mom named Gwen Moore
She had raised him to hate the GOP
She will soon leave to go serve in Congress
Maxine she'll love to see

As we watch this story playing out with interest
We all know just where this thing is gonna go
Supreme Solar Allah was arrested
He's a victim as a black man, don't you know

You ought to know...you ought to know
He's arrested because he's black, you know

[American in Israel]

The excuse to do violence and theft is the core of Islam.

[Knute]

Supreme Solar Allah (AKA Something Umpronouncable) should plead "not guilty by reason of insanity". Anyone who's momma gave him a name like his birth name is likely to be nuttier than a fruitcake.

Momma is now my US Congresscritter, and YES, she is nuttier than a fruitcake. Fruit does not fall far from the tree. Supreme Solar is a product of his liberal upbringing.

[abclily]

Exactly.
