Freepers may have gotten confidential info on Graeme Frost and his family from MITCH MCCONNELL
Edited on Thu Oct-11-07 08:10 AM by ck4829
Update: It’s been reported on MSNBC that erroneous assertions about the Frost child and family that have spun out of control to allegedly include death threats and falsehoods broadcast via internet and radio, may have originated, in part, from the offices of Republican Senator Mitch McConnell who represents Kentucky… ironically, a state that has many constituent families and children who would dearly love to have the benefit of SCHIP.

It is alleged that the falsehoods about various aspects of the Frost family’s life were contained in an email from Senator McConnell’s office to a certain journo. Thus far the Senator’s office is said to be refusing to confirm or deny.

It appears that ‘fair play’ amongst some elected representatives includes a nod to giving out a child’s home address on the internet, and other methods meant to publicly harrow a child and his relatives… all as a response to said child telling about his own experience of being badly injured in an auto accident and how a government program helped he and his family recover and move forward in life.

If these matters of unleashing a harrowing on the child and his family from a Senatorial office are true, then those who have knowingly poured such botched Frankensteinian sewage into the public discourse no longer see child, mother, father, siblings, life force. They see instead: object, thing, threat.

but, I guess they just don't care...

9. They've gotten away with so much for so long...
...that "circumspection" doesn't even occur to them anymore.

4. Given that a "No" vote on SCHIP will be regarded as political poison . . .
in 2008, I can only rub my hands with glee as 'Lican morons continue to pick at the scab with such stupid tactics like this. Almost offsets Dem timidity on stopping Bush's disastrous Iraq war.

I'm sorry for young master Frost -- although I suspect none of this bile is a surprise to his parents or himself -- but slimy 'Lican behavior is the gift that keeps on giving.

5. My friends
misbehavior like this is why Americans of earlier times made frequent use of tar, feathers, and rail road ties. It is a tradition we should probably consider reviving.

8. If SCHIP still doesn't pass as a result of the backfire from stalking Graeme...
...then the 110th Congress is truly impotent.

10. The way to deal with Mitch is to go after his wife! Elaine Chao!
She has corrupted all the labor dept numbers. Business week had an article about it a while back. What's she's doing is criminal. If she was looking at jail time, he would shut up!

14. Staffer Don Stewart's phone number (supposedly) is posted in Think Progress comments, problem
Edited on Fri Oct-12-07 02:54 AM by caligirl
is I can't be sure it is Stewarts. Anyone have his number?



http://thinkprogress.org/2007/10/11/mcconnell-staffer-smear-graeme/#comments
Here’s Don Stewart’s email and cell phone. Because he incited people to harass the Frosts, I think it’s fair enough that he be called or emailed for an explanation of his actions by those people who choose to do so.

This is the article referenced above:


ThinkProgress has obtained an email that congressional sources tell us was sent to reporters by Sen. McConnell’s communications director Don Stewart.

On Monday morning, Don Stewart sent an email with the following text to reporters:

Seen the latest blogswarm? Apparently, there’s more to the story on the kid (Graeme Frost) that did the Dems’ radio response on SCHIP. Bloggers have done a little digging and turned up that the Dad owns his own business (and the building it’s in), seems to have some commercial rental income and Graeme and a sister go to a private school that, according to its website, costs about $20k a year ‹for each kid‹ despite the news profiles reporting a family income of only $45k for the Frosts. Could the Dems really have done that bad of a job vetting this family?
