GOP Chair's E-mail: "Had you been a good Democrat and not a socialist"


GOP chairman taunts Werner
BY DEENA WINTER / Lincoln Journal Star

Ten days after the May 3 election, the chairman of the Lancaster County Republican Party sent an e-mail to ousted City Councilman Terry Werner in which he taunted Werner for losing his council seat and said "having a private eye follow you was a joy."

Haga's e-mail read, in part: "Let this be a wakeup call to you. The voters of Lincoln wisely rejected your socialist agenda. If needed, we could have addressed your driving record (having a private eye follow you was a joy), . . . and more. Had you been a good Democrat and not a socialist, you might have been re-elected."

Chairman Jim Haga acknowledged to a reporter Tuesday he wrote the e-mail "in anger" but said he regretted it. Haga declined to comment on whether he hired an investigator, saying, "I'm not going to address that . . . To me it's not even a news story."

He later told a Journal Star editor that he didn't hire a private investigator.

interesting.
Most of these inflammatory, holier-than-thou Republinuts have way more in their closets (figuratively and literally) than the same amount of Dems.

its like the last election opened the gates of hell or something

Councilman Glenn Friendt (whose seat is up for grabs Tuesday, and who is not running again) appears in a TV ad accusing Werner of opposing the council's decision to begin reciting The Pledge of Allegiance prior to their weekly meetings. The decision came one week after the 9-11 terrorist attacks.

Svoboda said Werner had a problem with the pledge's promise of "liberty and justice for all" and characterization of the United States as "one nation, under God."

Werner vehemently denies he opposed saying the pledge.

"That's just crazy," he said. "We voted unanimously to say it."
