DeLay Supporters Crash Democrat's Event [or, "When FReeping Goes Bad"]

... and assault a woman in her late 60s. Such upstanding Xtian folk...



But wait... there's more! Juanita's Blog has some juicy photographs of the stooges. And wait'll you read what a friend of Lampson, also a candidate for office, had to say about their hero, the honorable Congress-sleaze from Texas' 22nd District...

... over in FRascistland. Did they make any mention of the event before hand?

..... this two-minute hate thread. And note that FReepling " nypokerface" violated fair use and stole the entire article from AP, like a dutiful little intellectual property thief.

And to our surprise and delight at least one FReeper shows symptoms of sanity:



...and then there are the FReepers who seem to have neglected to take their meds...



...which contrast with evidence of FReepers going sane...

"It's time to hit them with their own tactics."

Are you freaking kidding me? When's the last time Democrats crashed a Republican campaign rally like a bunch of brownshirts? And no, some anarchist or Green Party member throwing a pie at Ann Coulter or displaying an AIDS banner at the GOP Convention doesn't count.

Headlined DELAY TACTICS

I think most Americans would be disgusted if it got even more coverage.

Remember the Republicans staff pretending to be Al Gore democrats and storming the recount...even rove knows americans don't want to be identified with this hooliganism and the attacks on senior citizens.

And delay making and ethics charge against Mckinney, unbelievable nerve!

what AMREICA is. They represent the lowest of humanity, the worst we as a nation can be.

I'm glad Nick stood his ground, as apparently did his supporters. I'm glad the reporters decided to do what it took to hear him, as some around him tried to silence him.

get the hell on already, delay...

Just when you think they can't sink any lower ...

passed any classes in common sense.

harassing people with babes in arms and latching on to young kids are some of the witless, graceless stunts that they pulled and it makes me fume.

These are these people that have been whooping and hollering for more with every corrupt election and every dead Iraqi. They are a disgrace to themselves and their country.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

</rant>

about the reds too. I cannot imagine what fills them with so much hate and malice.
I think they may be brainwashed. What other explanation is there for those who prefer a Tom DeLay? They want a lying, cheating, stealing, creepy, god has his hand on me, villain voting for them?
I can only conclude so.

You have to fail Civics, Western Civilization and Economics twice each.

from the street looks just like a scene out of a Romero film. Zombies indeed.

Right? :sarcasm:

Just like Cynthia McKinney?

how 06 is going to be then it is time to beat their ass if they plan on intimidation.

If they want to screw with us then they deserve ever concussion that they get.

We would meet tomorrow morning at 9:45 am on the first floor of the parking garage attached to the Marriott. Please get folks to call our campaign office 281.343.1333 and let us know they can do it – or e-mail Leonard Cash (in the cc field above) so that we can get some head count. Let’s give Lampson a parting shot that wrecks his press conference.

These are thugs a la the brown shirts of Germany .... Freedom of Speech? the thugs for the
Brooks Brothers riot in Florida 2000 were help by tom Delay and Roger Stone.

making their bones by stopping the vote count.

This is the M.O. of the Rethuglican party.

Anytime ANYONE dares disagree with them, they resort to violence.

Very ugly non-humans.

Too bad they are backing a loser. A criminal. A quitter.

First reaction of egotistical bigots, when they can no longer hide behind the lies, is to bully. Remember 3 or 4 out of 10 Americans are still delusional in their support for right wing BS. These are the hold-outs, those invested personally with the repug party. Expect more of this kind of stuff because these people actually believe the anti-liberal rhetoric, so they will feel personally threatened as their house of cards falls apart.

...we'll see a lot of that kind of bullshit from now to November and beyond....Texas and elsewhere...

You can also see him pulling her hat down over her eyes.

But it sounds from the descriptions given that the Delay contingent were complete and utter assholes.

x(

call the cops, drag the guy away, have Lampson move to a new location. A person lurking behind him can also cause serious injury. Perhaps he might want to get a couple of armed escorts when speaking out in public.

because I would have used it on that A**Hole if I would have been that woman who got shoved by that Thug, that would have given him a reason to behave like such a crybaby.

BugBoy DeLay is the one who decided he couldn't stand the heat, he's the one who knew he didn't have a chance at winning the district, get over it already, you losers. BugBoy is the one who cut and ran.

about the rally turned shouting match, turned pushing and shoving.

The woman who was assaulted is thinking about pressing charges.

I hope she does, it would serve that A**Hole right.

Lampson look bad. I'm glad the tables were turned on those vile snakes.

Gee, I wonder who they were cheering for..... :mad:

I knew Republicans had the capability to sink low (ala Fred Phelps protesting soldier's funerals...don't know if he's republican though..probably.) but what the fuck. When George Bush came to town (whenever that was..I forgot) I didnt go down to the Hilton and had a fucking AIRHORN droning out what he was saying. The Republicans are getting desperate, which is why they are doing this...to attempt to gain momentum. And a few bands of nuts are on call to help them out.

N/T

has that vacant look of many republicans...

here in Portland (it was not long after 9-11). There were a handful of pro-Bush people there. I was struck at the marked contrast between the bright-eyed protesters, who seemed to radiate intelligence and humor, and the cowlike, stupid, vacant faces of the Bushistas. It was remarkably striking.

southern states just make it legal to shoot first if you are threatened and ask questions later? I'm not generally a violent person but if these evil fucks tried something like this now days they would be VERY sorry, I've had ENOUGH!!!!!!

Yes, I know, logic is not their strong suit, but really. Tom DeLay RESIGNED. If they're angry at Tom, then they need to take it up with him. Nick Lampson had nothing to do with it. What purpose are they serving by disrupting Lampson's press conference?

:shrug:

For Republicans!

This demonstration only solidified Lampson's identity as the anti-DeLay.

It made the national news last night. Hubs was appalled. Shame shame shame on the Republicans.

It seems (to me, anyway) that FReeps can't hold a demonstration without it turning ugly and without putting their hands on someone. They don't have a leg to stand on as far as the issues at hand, so they have to resort to personal and physical attacks. I'd call them animals, but that would be an insult to real animals. :mad:

This is OUTRAGEOUS. Will Wolf and Tweety ask him about how Xtian his followers are? Tweety gushed, "You were so proud of your foster home project. I was there. Tell me about it." and "I owe you." Of course, in today's paper, the THUG ORGANIZER, Chris HOMAN, campaign manager.

Of course, the headline in today's paper was, "Protesters heckle Lampson during news conference. DeLay's campaign staff organizes supporters' rally" ---------not, vicious-THUGS-brownshirt-opponent's-rally. And HOMAN said, "...he organized the protest through phone calls and e-mails, but Delay didn't know about it." Yeah, right.

Geez, what a reich wing report by the AP. They expect the Dems to put up with disruptions, but if anyone verbally challenges the Bush Reichstag they get hauled off and arrested. These people were pushing and shoving and ASSAULTING people. Everyone better be careful. We have that damn conceal and carry law in Tx.

I hate SugarLand. And I hate the SugarLand police. I won't be going there to shop anymore.

Oh, I forgot: only peace activists & environmentalists get arrested in BushWorld with repuke "oversight" of the pRes. Those who engage in violence to prevent a candidate from exercising his right of free speech are tacitly approved.

Recount Rioters Rewarded With White House Jobs

Those who helped George Bush steal the 200 election have been richly rewarded with plum government appointments.


The Miami Herald reported that "more than 50 political appointees found by The Herald to have served as troops in the frantic Florida recount battle that followed the Nov. 7, 2000 election." Who can forget the "spontaneous" protest in the Miami-Dade elections office, coincidentally comprised of the staffers and employees of various Republican congressmen:

1. Tom Pyle, policy analyst, office of House Majority Whip Tom DeLay (R-Tex.).

2. Garry Malphrus, majority chief counsel and staff director, House Judiciary subcommittee on criminal justice.

3. Rory Cooper, political division staff member at the National Republican Congressional Committee.

4. Kevin Smith, former House Republican conference analyst and more recently of Voter.com.

5. Steven Brophy, former aide to Sen. Fred D. Thompson (R-Tenn.), now working at the consulting firm KPMG.

6. Matt Schlapp, former chief of staff for Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R-Kan.), now on the Bush campaign staff in Austin.

7. Roger Morse, aide to Rep. Van Hilleary (R-Tenn.).

8. Duane Gibson, aide to Chairman Don Young
(R-Alaska) of the House Resources Committee.

9. Chuck Royal, legislative assistant to Rep. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.).

10. Layna McConkey, former legislative assistant to former Rep. Jim Ross Lightfoot (R-Iowa), now at Steelman Health Strategies.

so excuse any repeat on ideas.

DeLays CAMPAIGN manager? What is he running for? Is he really going to resign or is this a fishing (with dynomite) expedition? What is the status of his trial, if anyone knows.

He is such a sleaze. He huffed too much bug spray.

Good news:

Lampson Campaign Turning Over Footage to Woman who Claims Assault by DeLay Supporter
04/06/2006
Houston, TX -- Nick Lampson's campaign manager announced this afternoon that their campaign has found footage of a portion of the incident between Richmond resident Marsha Rovai and a DeLay supporter at the Lampson press conference held earlier today. Channel 2 News showed footage on their 4 pm newscast of a DeLay supporter grabbing Ms. Rovai's hat and jerking it down over her face. The Lampson Campaign recorded this footage and will be turning it over to Marsha Rovai. If we receive any more footage, we will turn it over as well.

"Whether or not this was an assault, it was certainly un-Texan," said Lampson campaign manager Mike Malaise. "People can protest without getting physical. The fact that these people chose to show up and get physical with a 69 year old woman is disturbing to say the least. Ms. Rovai will have to decide what she will do next, but Tom DeLay's campaign staged this protest and, as Marsha's Congressman, he owes her a sincere apology. As for our campaign, we are heartened by the fact that we have received several calls and emails from local Republicans saying they were embarrassed by what took place."

Someone should push that to the media down there.

take in enough political contributions to cover his legal fees for his defense. Apparently he's still light some bucks, and won't quit until he's stashed away enough money to pay his lawyers.

They did it in Florida in 2000 and it helped 'win' the WH for Bush and crew. Rs are repugnant, shit stains.

and a campaign HQ? :shrug:

So he can use the campaign money for his legal defence fund.
