Do you mean one of the SUPER DELEGATES?

Somehow I am not surprised.

The scum of the earth is either for Hitlery or the Obomination.

LOL...it would be fun to see how many felons and crazies there are among pledged Dem delegates. It will be up to the American Spectator to investigate the list, because it is certain that no msm outlet will be curious about this bunch.

Maybe it was something that had in the works in the event Romney was the nominee to make the real LDS Church look bad.

Just sayin....

Unfrickin’ believable!

The media showed a picture of this woman on the news the other night....she is a black woman, which I thought was odd, because when they showed the compound and the courtroom on TV, I didn’t see any other black members of this Mormon sect. Was she the only one?

And now we find out she’s an Obama delegate? Wow!
Maybe she should join “reverend” Wright’s church.

More verification:

What’s more, the fake ‘Sarah’ (aka 33 yr old Rozita Swinton, probably) is a Colorado state delegate for Obama

This kind of stuff absolutely sinks Mitt Romney’s chances to be chosen for the VP slot

So what does this do for the validity of the case that was being built against the various members of the cult, that there were underage mothers and forced “marriages” by older men with 13- and 14-year-old girls?

The warrant was for purposes of SEARCH, and therefore, within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment. The basis for the warrant was “reasonable assumption” that the complaint call that came in to the local authorities about the conditions was based in a truthful assertion.

Turned out, that whether the complaint was legitimate or not, the existence of very real abuse was found, and under the laws of Texas, ought be subject to prosecution.

The roots of the tree may be poisoned, but the fruit was not.

So she is an obamassiah delegate? IIRC, a thread like this was pulled last week because there was no evidence it was the same woman.

Springs woman a person of interest in polygamy case

By BRIAN NEWSOME

April 18, 2008 - 6:08PM

A Colorado Springs woman has been named a "person of interest" by Texas Rangers investigating what may have been a hoax call that set off the raid of a polygamous compound in western Texas.

In a statement Friday, the Texas Department of Public Safety said Rozita Swinton was being "actively pursued" regarding telephone calls placed to a crisis center in San Angelo, Texas, in late March.

The raid on the Yearning for Zion Ranch in Eldorado, Texas, on April 3 was prompted by a series of phone calls in late March from a female caller whom officials referred to as Sarah.

The caller claimed to be a 16-yearold girl who had been beaten and forced to become the "spiritual" wife to an adult man.

Members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, a polygamous group that split from the Mormon church, have denied the girl, supposedly named Sarah Jessop Barlow, exists.

Swinton, 33, was arrested Wednesday by Colorado Springs police on suspicion of making a hoax distress call in February that set off a futile search by dozens of officers for an injured child trapped in a basement in a neighborhood in the northeast part of the city.

Swinton was linked to that call during a search of her home by Colorado Springs police and Texas Rangers investigating her as the possible caller who identified herself as Sarah, according to the Rangers' statement.

"During the search, officers found several items that indicated a possible connection between Swinton and calls regarding the FLDS compounds in Colorado City, Ariz., and Eldorado, Texas," the statement said without identifying the evidence.

Lt. Skip Arms of the Colorado Springs Police Department said Swinton has made such calls in the past but, "This is the first time it rose to the level that she was ever charged (in Colorado Springs)."

Swinton also was arrested on a warrant related to a false report she allegedly made in 2005 in Castle Rock.

Court documents related to the February incident have been sealed by a judge. In the 2005 incident in Castle Rock, Swinton allegedly called an adoption agency and police posing as a teenage mother named Jessica who wanted to give up her baby before committing suicide.

Swinton has not been arrested in connection with the raid in Texas and the investigators who searched her Colorado Springs apartment returned to Texas on Thursday.

She was released from the El Paso Criminal Justice Center by Thursday and could not be reached Friday.

Swinton apparently came to the attention of Texas authorities after a series of calls to Flora Jessop, executive director of the Child Protection Project and former member of the FLDS church, in late March. Jessop and the Phoenix-based group help women and children flee polygamy and religious abuse, according to its Web site.

Jessop said she recorded nearly 40 hours of conversation with Swinton, who said her name was Laura, before contacting law enforcement.

"She claimed to be the twin sister of Sarah, who made the initial call in Texas," Jessop said.

Swinton knew specifics about the religion and culture, used common FLDS surnames and provided specific addresses of homes in Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Ariz., where she said she was being held.

"She was good," Jessop said. "Apparently she was doing her research."

But other things - calling her parents "Mom" and "Dad" instead of "Mother" and "Father" as FLDS adherents do - were suspicious, Jessop said.

Jessop declined to comment on whether she believes Swinton made the telephone call that triggered the Texas raid.

"I'm not going to speculate," she said. "I'm going to trust that the Texas authorities are doing their job."

More than 400 children living at the Texas compound were seized in the raid and a Texas judge signed an emergency order earlier this month giving the state custody of them until their fate is determined in court hearings.

Wonder if this is just a run up for a crackdown on the largest polygamous cult of all, whose founder married a 9 yr old? /sarc

“the woman arrested today for falsely tipping off the police “

I’d like to see Jawa’s sources as the news has not reported that she was arrested for any involvement in the Texas affair. She was arrested but not for Texas.
