Name calling is the Republican Party’s biggest weapon. It’s
almost comical the way conservatives trash liberals for name calling, and then turn around and call them every name in the book.
Name calling=the truth, in conservative circles, that’s why they do it.
They're not really getting a pass on this either,
because for many, they’re really come across as mean spirited and sore losers. Even
when they win elections they’re angry that someone dared challenge their
candidate in the first place. If they lose an election, it’s not their ideas
that failed, its voter fraud and liberal judges that stopped voter ID.
So it is with great pleasure to offer my latest example of
pure right wing lunacy (name calling=the truth), from Red State’s
Brian Fraley (
Diary). I've highlighted the name calling below. It's Fraley's pathetic attempt to distract from his
empty accusations:
Senator Scott Fitzgerald is onto something with his desire
to reform the pathetically biased and secretive Wisconsin Government
Accountability Board. Look no further than the reaction from Democrats who fear
their sure thing panel of holier than thou retired judges may be on the
chopping block. In the coming days look for the blowhard spokes clown of the
state Democratic party and the self righteous lefties at One Wisconsin Now to
offer similar breathless indignation.
The Wisconsin GAB, whose symbol bears and uncanny
resemblance to that of the anarchists, has a brief and soiled history.
The following claim is untrue, and the GAB made that clear saying they would investigate any name questioned by the Walker campaign:
Consider the following: The GAB originally had no intention
of scrutinizing and flagging and omitting obviously fake names from the recall
petitions last year. Signatures from Adolph Hitler and Mickey mouse would be deemed
valid and only stricken if challenged.
Of course Mickey and Hitler would have to show up to get a ballot, but...As for the recall petition names being made available on a database, that was never the question. Fraley's link below shows a conservative video by the MacIver Institute, that trashes the GAB, not for the database, but for following the law and not letting tea party groups to get involved. Only the those being recalled can challenge and review the petitions. It's the law:
Similarly, they had no
intention, originally, of creating an online database of those who
foisted upon taxpayers the most expensive temper tantrum in state’s history.
Fraley even criticizes the GAB for going after those who were committing voter intimidation with what are still, unsubstantiated claims:
This year, when presented with evidence of gross incompetence during the
administration of the election in Racine, the GAB moved to crack down
on…election observers.
Fraley backs up his claims of voter fraud with terms like: "many voters may have" or "There
are conflicting accounts." Love their standard of proof, don't you?
Troll Craig Haught had a little time on his hands today, sitting around using one of those slave labor iPads, and left a few brilliant comments. Keep in mind, guys like this hate "name calling." Cross hairs or flag, Haught's contribution to the debate is featured right here for all to see:
