These vehicles were designated to get out the vote on election day. This was vote suppression. Say it loud, DEMOCRATS DELIBERATELY DISENFRANCHISED VOTERS ON NOVEMBER 2ND.

I wonder if the "power outage" at the GOP headquarters in Pittsburgh was ever explained (DNC office across the street had power). The power did come back on before the polls closed.

A good ol fashioned dragging is a fitting punishment.

Logging chains on a pickup trailer hitch, twice around the courthouse.

Omokunde, also known as Supreme Solar Allah, is the 25-year-old son of the rookie congresswoman.

A Democrat and a Muslim...another member of the party of enlightenment and the religion of peace.

Supreme Solar Allah...you got to be kidding me, I guess slashing must be an elevated art in the religion of death and hate!

"These aren't just ordinary tires," the lawyer cracked. "These are tires that had their civil rights violated."

As despicable and hypocritical as this episode was, I have to admit I laughed at this line. Nothing like Dems making fun of their own time-tested rhetoric.

The pressure on McCann't must have been immense. Under normal circumstances these guys would have been bargained down to municipal disorderly conduct tickets.

Hopefully, the US Attorney is keeping a close eye on this case.

"To stop them voting? That sounds like felony to me."

Yes, and since it was a PRESIDENTIAL election it sounds like a FEDERAL offense to me.

This vandalism should be brought up and thrown in the face of any democrat, any place, any time, who talks about voter supression or intimidation, etc.

Under normal circumstances, these guys would have been given a prize.

Especially since President Bush lost Wisconsin by fewer votes than Kerry lost Ohio.

One gets the sense that these reporters approved of this incident.

Not quite, but image the hullabaloo if the party affiliations and races had been reversed. (White Republicans slashing tires of a Democratic organization in a Black neighborhood.)

I never thought they would actually file a felony charge.

Could be the Feds let'im know they'd go for Federal Indictments if he didn't go for Felonies!

Hate crimes laws permit the persecution of Christians, white folk, heterosexuals, and Republicans.

They codify liberal political correctness.

Soon BEING a Christian who believes in the Bible or a Republican could in and of itself become a "hate" crime.

Federal prosecutions could still be applied I would think. Just as a person can be tried for civil and criminal offenses.

Omokunde, also known as Supreme Solar Allah

Is it just me, or does this sound like a brand name for a tin-foil hat?

It sounds like the name of someone who Spiderman would fight.

Just to clear the record the tire slashing occurred on 71st and Capitol in Milwaukee which *is* a black neighborhood. Perhaps that made it easier for these boyz to do the task and not be immediately spotted.

The Democrats have been crying and shouting voter fraud and disenfranchisement. Well this incident and the Washington Governor's election debacle show who are the real culprits in this past election.

I think the Democrats have a lot to answer for.

Bush won Ohio. Kerry won Wisconsin. Bush won by a far greater number of vote than Kerry yet the Democrats insisted that the vote was suppressed in Ohio.

Misdirection in action. The talent of any good magician in making scandals disappear.
