Woman Finds Stack Of Anti-Hillary 'Lewinsky' Bumper Stickers At GOP Office
TPM ^ | JULY 11, 2014 | Nicole Laford

Posted on 07/14/2014 2:09:54 PM PDT by nickcarraway

A Virginia woman told TPM on Friday that she recently discovered a stack of anti-Hillary Clinton bumper stickers at a local GOP office, despite denials from the state party that it had anything to do with the stickers.

Carole Donoghue, a retired journalist, said she found the bumper stickers at Fairfax County Republican Committee headquarters in Fairfax, Va. The bumper stickers read “Monica Lewinsky’s X-Boyfriend’s Wife for President." In small print, they included the words "Authorized By Republican Party Of Virginia."

Donoghue talked to TPM hours after a spokesperson for Republican Party of Virginia denied the state party had anything to do with the anti-Hillary bumper stickers. The spokesperson told the Washington Post that the stickers were "an amateur effort" and the state party's strategy "does not involve that."

Donoghue's discovery, however, raises questions about the denial.

Donoghue said she was out walking her dog on Sunday when she found an older man sitting on the pavement who looked like he “wasn’t doing well.” The man told her he was out campaigning for the Republican Party, and that he was diabetic and needed insulin, she said. Worried about the man's condition, Donoghue drove him back to the county Republican Party headquarters.

It was there in the office, Donoghue said, where she found the Lewinsky bumper stickers.

"The man wanted to repay me for driving him, so I just took one of the stickers as a trophy," she said. "There was a whole stack of them there."

The existence of the bumper stickers was first reported Friday on Twitter by Reuters political correspondent Gabriel Debenedetti, who posted a photo of one of them.

Donoghue said she wanted to speak out about her discovery after the state party denied being involved.

"They are just cheap and stupid, and if you are going to be cheap and stupid at least be honest about it," Donoghue told TPM. "The denial was dishonest."

A woman who answered the phone Friday afternoon at Fairfax County Republican Party headquarters told TPM she hadn't been in the office on Sunday and didn't know who was. She said she didn't know whether the bumper stickers had been there that day, but she said none were there now. She declined to give her name.

“We have a lot of bumper stickers,” the woman said. “We don’t have any of those bumper stickers though.”

TPM left a voicemail and sent an email to a spokesperson for the Republican Party of Virginia on Friday afternoon, seeking comment. The messages were not immediately returned.

An older man sitting on the pavement, in severe medical distress, and she doesn’t call 911?

So, instead of driving him to the hospital, she takes him in his confused state to a political office instead of calling a family member?

Then, instead of putting him in the hands of someone who can care for him, she grabs private property off of someone’s desk and it just happens to be an anti - Satan bumpersticker.

Yup, another Democrat fairy tale.

Be fair. In the age of 0bamaCare he would be more likely to get good treatment at a Republican campaign office than at a hospital or clinic. There is a good chance there would be doctors there.

I wonder if she is related to that nice, elderly couple who happened to eavesdrop on Newt’s cellphone call?

Cafepress does have those stickers.

Yes, it’s the kind of truth in which the American people have zero interest.

HRC is right. Not too many did believe bill’s “other women”. The people just know that they like bill and HRC. Otherwise, the know not much of anything.

Wow, that now tops the list that includes "my dog ate my homework" and "I thought the Chinese were going to nuke the country this weekend"...............

Maybe his ACA plan only covered paper clips and staplers are treatment.

The only medical treatment you can get a Republican campaign office is RINOplasty.

I thought the story sounded phony to me too, but then thought — so what, it’s true.

“Yes, it’s the kind of truth in which the American people have zero interest.”

Are you speaking for yourself or the entire country?

It’s 2014, and we are trying to win a senate race in Virginia.

Why would the state party be paying for bumper stickers for the 2016 presidential race?

I have to believe it’s something someone in the local party ordered for the fun of it.

The existence of the stickers isn’t a scandal, and probably the state party is not lying about it either.

Which makes me wonder how she found some with the “paid for by” label.

yes, good question. i’m not sure if the “republican party” of a state, has a Trade Mark or something official on their bumper sticker other than, ‘paid for by Republican Party’?

I thought this bumper sticker was a hoot:

IF ONLY HILLARY HAD MARRIED OJ INSTEAD

America is “ready” for Hillary, like Brazil was “ready” for Germany during the World Cup.

I would never drive a stranger to a political party office if they were in a diabetic episode


An old man with diabetes likely had it long enough that he’d have the sense to carry it.

If I did come across someone having a “diabetic episode” I’d take them to the nearest emergency room.
