Update: This hasn’t been limited to a single polling location, nor apparently a single state. The video below shows the nightstick-wielding man from the FOX news report, and there have been reports of Black Panther wannabes intimidating voters from as far away as Tennessee. Perhaps this is what Sen. Obama was referring to when he boasted of a civilian homeland defense force during his campaign? | Read More »

Origninally mentioned here. Dear Friends, After decades of fighting for this country and our troops, I am up against the right-wing attack machine again.

Embattled Democrat porker (and current defendant in a pair of slander lawsuits stemming from his repeated shouting from rooftops that U.S. Marines are “cold-blooded killers”) John Murtha (PA-12) sent a message to MoveOn.org’s email list asking members to remember his “chip in” to his surprisingly difficult reelection bid.

Two weeks ago, John Murtha (D-PA), the Vietnam veteran who is currently being sued by two former Marines for slandering them on national television as “cold-blooded killers,” let his “tolerant man of the people” mask slip and told his constituents outright what he thought of them: that they’re pathetic, dirty, unrepentant and unvarnished racists (video below).

This time, the Democratic Congressman appears in a video making two distinct statements regarding the ‘Surge’ strategy that has | Read More »

Congressman Paul Kanjorski (D-PA) has been a fairly undistinguished member of the House of Representatives for nearly a quarter of a century. He is a career member of the Financial Services Committee who has made little or no name for himself since his first electoral victory, and has maintained incumbency through the funneling of pork back to his district.
