'08 race worker held in damage to Colorado Democratic HQ
Denver Post.com ^ | August 26, 2009 | Jessica Fender

One of two people suspected of shattering 11 windows Tuesday morning at the state Democratic Party headquarters has an arrest record and a history of helping a Democratic political candidate, public records show.

Police said that about 2:20 a.m., 24-year-old Maurice Schwenkler, now in custody, and an at-large accomplice took a hammer to the picture windows displaying posters touting President Barack Obama and his health care reform efforts.

Early Tuesday, Democratic Party chairwoman Pat Waak said the damage to her building in Denver's art district was a consequence of "an effort on the other side to stir up hate." She tempered her statement after Schwenkler's political history was revealed.

"What I've been saying is there is a lot of rhetoric out there from both sides of the spectrum," Waak said. "That's what's been disturbing to me. People are saying a lot of things not appropriate for civil discourse."

For weeks, people on both sides of the health care debate have rallied across the country.

Schwenkler is charged with criminal mischief and is to make his first appearance in Denver County Court today.

He is accused of doing an estimated $11,000 in damage and could face a felony conviction.

On the last day of the 2008 Republican National Convention, he was charged with misdemeanor unlawful assembly in St. Paul, Minn.

From the article:

Early Tuesday, Democratic Party chairwoman Pat Waak said the damage to her building in Denver's art district was a consequence of "an effort on the other side to stir up hate." She tempered her statement after Schwenkler's political history was revealed.

(snip)

Waak, who was not involved with the group that paid Schwenkler, said she's never heard of the suspect and pointed out that just because he canvassed "doesn't mean he's a good Democrat."

I guess State Dem Party Chairwoman, Pat Waak, is going to say that her comment above is an apology to all the opponents of ObamaCare, who she unfairly attempted to blame for the vandalism.

Not hardly, Pat.

Try again, Pat; and this time say, "I am sorry for getting al wee-weed up over this and unfairly accusing my conservative opponents of committing this felonious vandalism."

The proper response would be to acknowledge your error and apologize without conditions for your slander. Bitch.

Dems have such loser names...

I guess if my name was Maurice Schwenkler, I’d be filled with misplaced rage too.

The more the left is exposed and confronted , the more ANGRIER they become.

Keep up the pressure.

I have a couple of bets to collect on. I had a few lefties throw this crime at me as a tu quoque that “your side does it too”. I (rightly) pointed out that they hadn’t yet charged anyone for the crime but when they did it would no doubt be a leftie perp.

Not that a leftie would actually live up to their commitment or honor their word, but I will take enjoyment shoving their noses in it...

"What I've been saying is there is a lot of rhetoric out there from both sides of the spectrum," Waak said.

No, dear, what you've been saying is that the Republicans did it. Now you look like a jackass. Or a Democrat. But I repeat myself.

Hi, I'm Saul Alinsky and I approve of these progressive tactics.
In fact I teach them to your offspring when you send them to college.

Most likely an ACORN worker, but will that possibility be investigated? No.

Early Tuesday, Democratic Party chairwoman Pat Waak said the damage to her building in Denver's art district was a consequence of "an effort on the other side to stir up hate." She tempered her statement after Schwenkler's political history was revealed. "What I've been saying is there is a lot of rhetoric out there from both sides of the spectrum," Waak said. "That's what's been disturbing to me. People are saying a lot of things not appropriate for civil discourse."
For example, Pat Waak said the damage to the DNC offices was "an effort on the other side to stir up hate" -- unfounded words which are obviously not appropriate for civil discourse. Pat Waak didn't merely speak out of turn, she flat-out lied, since she said something false and without foundation that she obviously didn't know whether or not it was true. She should resign or be fired.

And that's just giving her the benefit of the doubt -- if she recruited these hooligans to vandalize the building (analogy: Hitler's Nazis burning the Reichstag) with no expectation that they'd be caught, she and they belong in prison.
