Beware of Fake Hate Crimes [Swastika]
Weekly Standard ^ | 8.11.09 | John McCormack (blogger)

Posted on 08/11/2009 1:05:48 PM PDT by rface

Does this seem fishy to you? Over the weekend, Democratic Rep. David Scott of Atlanta yelled at one of his constituents, a urologist, who had the audacity to ask Scott about his support for Obamacare. Yesterday, CNN had a segment featuring Scott and the urologist, and Scott didn't come out looking too good.

Now, today, just when Rep. Scott could use a little sympathy from the public, we get a report that Scott has been a victim of a hate-crime--a swastika was spraypainted on a sign outside of his office.

In recent years self-inflicted hate crimes have come into vogue among certain citizens on the right and the left.

I immediately suspected this story was a hoax when I saw it as “breaking news” on Fox today. A little too conveniently timed. Would not surprise me if the Congressman himself called Fox to tell them about this “swastika graffiti” and divert attention away from Specter’s meeting that was being shown.

The urologist was on Fox yesterday morning with a clear and concise account of what happened. There is also video. The Congressman looked like a fool.

These tactics have gotten old...I’m sure next he’ll say there was Klan graffiti or threats ... or the same old tired cards the Dems pull out when they’re losing.

He is trying to deflect attention from his idiotic outburst at a constituent and avoid talking about the Healthcare issues with those in his district.

Scott was named one of the 22 most corrupt members of Congress by the political watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington In addition to the above complaints Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington also brought into question David Scott’s character after he called his Congressional opponent, Deborah Honeycutt, a ‘bitch. After it was reported that Congressman Scott had called Dr. Deborah Honeycutt a ‘bitch,’ Donzella James, Scott’s 2008 Democratic Primary Opponent, issued this statement: “[David Scott] has been disrespectful to me and other women in my presence. Even in mixed company, he often makes vulgar references that are less than gentlemanly.

It is nothing more than a planned distraction by a corrupt sexist scumbag who fell back on the race card when he wasn’t able to handle opposition on the healthcare issue from his constituents.

“The Cornishes had more interesting info. There was a guy carrying a swastika sign outside and trying to get attention as a “racist opponent of Obama.” Once the cameras went away, he ditched his sign and started handing-out pro-Dingell re-election material.”

Dingell is a Democrat from Michigan who yelled at and threatened the father of the young man in a wheelchair at a meeting.

Maybe we should mail this guy’s staff a bunch of hoods and say “Here. You can use these at the next townhall meeting”. Don’t want them spending tax payer dollars on the things.

1. 60% chance it was a zealous democrat who painted it to blame it on conservatives. 30% chance it was actually one of his staff. 10% chance it was some kids looking to make the news. .000001% chance it was a conservative.

90% chance he did it himself.

FReeper TLI posted the following on the thread I put up earlier today on this story...

Friday, August 7th at 11:10PM EDT:

"The scene of a Metro Atlanta town hall meeting quickly deteriorated when Democratic Congressman David Scott (GA-13) suddenly became enraged, and, in a breathtaking display of congressional machismo, began berating constituents.

Scott displayed his temper during a question-and-answer period when David Hill, a local resident and doctor, questioned the congressman over his support of President Barack Obama’s proposed single-payer health care system.

“Why are you voting for a health care plan that is shown not to work in Massachusetts and why are you going to institute that in a nation-wide manner?”

With a look of confusion on his face, the congressman first quietly asked an aide, “Is that the type of bill they got going on?” Then, reassured by staff that the bill Hill referenced was, in fact, the bill before Congress, Scott proceeded to respond, insomuch as the Congressman’s angry tirade may be called a response.

“I’m listening to my constituents, OK,” Scott said, with a heavy and awkward emphasis on “my.” “These are people who live in the 13th Congressional district, who vote in this district. That’s who I’ve got to respond to, OK. Right, alright.”

Grimacing and sternly brandishing his finger at Dr. Hill, Scott’s anger intensified, as did his rhetoric.

“So what you’ve got to understand, those of you who are here, who have taken and came and hijacked this event we dealing with here, this is not a health care event. You made the choice to come here and take advantage of this meeting that these people in Douglasville worked hard to put together to deal with this road,” Scott said, referencing the relocation of a local highway in Douglassville, GA.

“You chose to come and to do it on your own. Not a single one of you had the decency to call my office and set up for a meeting, OK. Do that. Do that!”..."

There you go! That's perfect! Perhaps you can send it to the DNC as a suggestion.

Hmmm. Are you really the same person that just posted the below to me a few short minutes ago?

No sarc tag so I assume you are being straight.
