THE MILWAUKEE 5 ON TRIAL

If these dudes were Republicans, their faces would have been all over the news today as their trial on felony counts of vandalism in the Election Day 2004 tire-slashing of more than 20 vehicles rented by Republican campaigners finally got underway:

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that at least:

Cable network Court TV is covering the trial, which, with five defendants being tried together, is expected to last two weeks. The witness list includes national AFL-CIO President John J. Sweeney and U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.), as well as 77 others, including political operatives from both major parties, FBI agents, Milwaukee police officers and a representative of a Firestone tire center.

Not all of them are certain to be called into Circuit Judge Michael B. Brennan's courtroom. A spokesman for Jackson's office said Friday that the office had not received a subpoena or other official notification that Jackson, who was in Milwaukee for Election Day 2004 and may have spoken with some parties involved in the case, would be required to testify.

Given that the Democrat prosecutor has been accused of partisan foot-dragging, that inaction is not surprising.

Question: Where are all the hysterical bemoaners of voter fraud and voter suppression now?

Fine upstanding citizens these dementacrats. /sarcasm

[Wheee The People]

Is U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) gonna testify as an expert on political dirty tricks?

Sowande Ajumoke Omokunde

His name means "Go-nowhere, do-nothing, non-intelligent spawn of liberal CONgresswoman with extra thick cranium."

Ever wonder why you see more liberal political bumper stickers than conservative? It's because all the thugs and vandals are on the Democrats side.

The MSM doesn't lean to the left, just ask them, they'll tell you.

Milwaukee is typical of any city in this country shackled by the promise of free liberal leftist democrat handouts. The sooner folks in our inner cities wake up from the democratic party BIG LIE the better off they and their children will be. Unfortunately many are so far down the road of dependency on liberal leftist democrat socialism it may take them generations to break the chains of economic slavery.

The liberal leftist democrat thugs in this story want to maintain their grip on the inner cities at all costs. Their actions prove that.

Thanks! As usual, even what she writes on her website is better than most fare in the MSM's versions of "online news".

That has a lot of truth to it. While living in south Denver I ordered some Loretta Lynn Gospel Music (I'm not super religious, but I like her singing), it arrived in the mail box crushed into a banana shape and forced into a corner (discs destroyed). In the same apartment complex I walked past a car with Republican bumper stickers which had both side windows shattered.

And we all remember the shots fired into a Republican campaign office during the last presidential campaign. And I've heard loads of stories of Republican yard signs being pulled up in California.

With their voter fraud and vandalism and outright lies, the left really hangs on in desperation. We must keep pressuring them until they go under (and have to live in a free democracy!!!)

What's really interesting is that Milwaukee came in 5th in the 2006 most fit cities in the U.S. according to Men's Fitness mag.

they don't even look collectively smart enough to pour piss out of a boot... so they must be the new RAT brain Trust i take it???

These five scumbags are why I live in Ozaukee county, instead of Milwaukee.

Ahhhh yes, Milwaukee. The city that gave us "Urban psychosis". http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4196/is_20001114/ai_n10642769

In a nutshell it boiled down to this - One girl shot and killed another girl because she refused to hand over her leather coat. When the perp went to trial her lawyer successfully used the defense of "Urban Psychosis" - that is because her client was a "have not" who had to endure constantly being surround by "the haves" it altered her mental state so that when the girl refused to give up her coat she was in a momentary state of insanity and shot her to death.

In other words the court at that time reinforced the idea that the only bad people in this country were the ones who worked hard for what they have and if they are killed when they refuse to share what they worked for with others who do not have any wealth (for whatever reason) then too bad.

"The liberal leftist democrat thugs in this story want to maintain their grip on the inner cities at all costs. Their actions prove that."

I live in Florida, Bradenton/Sarasota area, and when I see letters to the editor claiming that the Democrats have improved civil rights by doing x, y or z over the past 60 years, I write in with the correct history. Surprisingly, the paper prints a lot of my letters even though the papers are very liberal fish wrappers here.

they don't even look collectively smart enough to pour piss out of a boot...

Not even if the directions are on the bottom of the boot.

Everyone's right that if the slasher 5 were a right-wing group, this trial would get all sorts of national commentary. Similarly, imagine what the MSM would do if a right-wing group interrupted physically a left-wing anti-Alito press conference? This is precisely what happened to a pro-Alito press conference, interrupted by left-loonies, and barely a blip on the MSM screen. Left-loonies can do whatever they like. It is a small miracle that the slasher 5 are on trial at all, anywhere.

No, it's because conservatives tend to buy their own vehicles with their own money, and therefore don't care to turn them into rolling billboards.
