I just saw the most hideous filthiest tabloid type ad aiming at disrupting the Democratic

convention and preventing the nomination of the President as our candidate. It called for 10,000 signatures in every district? to prevent his nomination and was prefaced by some reference to a book that they admitted contained fictional characters. Charges were made about everything from his birth, education, Social Security number, you name it. It stated that no one knew enough about the man to give him a nomination.

Then I found this pile of crap online when I was trying to figure out what the group was who paid for the ad.

Who the eff are these people and why should they not be stripped of their delegate status? I consider them Teabagger infiltraters.

Has anyone else seen this ad? This was the first time I've seen it and I hope to never see it again.

I know we think "surely they know about this" but there is no way they could ever cover as much ground as the Duers do. Make sure they get a heads up about this ploy so they will be ready to combat it.

I can't find it online either.

PS. I just also came across this http://stopthetidalwave.org/ aimed at ginning up support to stop the HUUUUGE amount of business regulation coming in the next four years of an Obama administration. I left them a statement that I would not object to further regulation, and that the nation had been plundered enough by big business and finance.

My guess is these bozos will be shouted down at the convention - if they are real delegates that is. I have my doubts.

Your link doesn't say anything about the 10K signature thing, and what is there sounds like RW spin on something we already knew: some people in Republican-leaning districts are going to stay at home and work locally rather than go to the convention. It's not like they're going to make a difference in who gets nominated.

What I think of them depends on who they are and how they vote, but I'm not going to get upset that they don't go to the convention. File that under "it's a local politics thing, you do what you have to".

signature collection and the crap they presented leading into it. I just didn't catch the name of the group.

The news article I found online.
