Republican Candidate Calls Bush Administration Nazis Posted by Editor on 2005/6/23 10:37:44
Cary, NC - A candidate for North Carolina Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court has announced on her campaign's blog that she is leaving the Republican Party and denounced the Bush administration's policy on troop withdrawal from Iraq. Rachel Lea Hunter, a Republican and a candidate for Chief Justice, likens Bushs administration to the Nazis and says that all who disagree with the administration are being branded as traitors.
Hunter is an attorney in Durham, NC with the firm of Browne, Flebotte, Wilson, Horn & Webb. Hunters web page says she offers pre-paid legal services. Hunter ran unsuccessfully in 2004 for the North Carolina Appeals Court. She recently announced her intent to run for the Supreme Court.
In her statement, Hunter expresses anger at former Charlotte Mayor Richard Vinroot for unsubscribing to her campaigns email list. Hunter, who is a former volunteer for Vinroots gubernatorial campaign, was angry that Vinroot asked to unsubscribe to her campaigns email list after an announcement that she was recovering from a recent surgery.
Hunter continues her assault on other elected Republicans as well as party leaders. The letter launches criticisms at NCGOP Chairman, Ferrell Blount, for a lawsuit that was brought against the NC Republican party for an illegal contribution it received from a national group. The NC party agreed to pay a $10,000 fine and return the money. The GOP however never spent the money donated because of questions as to whether it was legal.
The statement also alludes to Hunters apparent departure from the Republican Party. She states that: I will unsubscribe from the party. I do not want to be associated with such individuals as these any longer.
The long tirade against Hunters political enemies even includes quotes attributed to her pet. While criticizing the Republicans throughout the state, Hunter says that: Max the dog says, they will be reduced to four people meeting in a phone booth at this rate.
The candidate also takes time to blame COPAM for past criticisms of Hunter. COPAM is an acronym passed along on Internet message boards for a number of Republican leaders and operatives in North Carolina. No such group officially exists but the myth of such an organization has been perpetuated by campaign operatives of Hunters organization.
Hunter does not allude to which party she may join when and if she leaves the Republican Party.

Someone's been spending too much time at cocktail parties in Chapel Hill.

seems stable..
Let me guess...
Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.
No, not all, just the A-holes that keep bringing up this Nazi thing.
Now, go Goose step out of here, your career is over, Rachel.
More reasonable than Reid...
There must be a full moon tonight.
"...she was recovering from a recent surgery."
a lobotomy, no doubt.
hey Rach-don't let the door hit you in your scumbag ass on the way out
That would imply she had a brain.
Ah, I see. So she wishes to lose by more than she did in 2004?
Can someone educate when last the Bush administration called someone a "Nazi" or a "Traitor"? I don't recall them ever doing so.
I have called people Traitors, but it generally follows aid and comfort to the enemy.

recent surgery?
another home lobotomy op gone bad, perhaps?
Sounds like she could join the party going on in Dick Durbin's pants.
Well Max the dog may be right about the 'conservative' party here in NC, but danged if I were running for poltical office would I 'quote' a dog in public. This woman's just loony. And I really wish both parties would quit referring to the other's actions as some form of Nazism. It just cheapens their whole argument
This is a bit off subject, but if I were Jewish, I'd be a little sick & tired of the way people throw the term 'Nazi' around. Is this a deliberate ploy to desensitize us to the term (like how the f-bomb is commonplace now)? Our political leaders need to go back to History 101.
