UPDATE: Rozita Swinton, the woman arrested today for falsely tipping off the police that she was an abused child bride at the FLDS polygamy cult in Texas is a PLEDGED BARACK OBAMA STATE DELEGATE!!
It was her initial false report that started the investigation which has led to the removal of 400 children from their parents' custody.
Patterico: In an odd coincidence, a person named Rozita E. Swinton of Colorado Springs is listed on the El Paso County Democratic Party website as an Obama delegate.
From the webpage. The number next to her name indicates the precinct she's in.
How many Rozita Swintons can there be in Colorado Springs?
Another example of a Democratic activist making up a fake but accurate story? Sure, she lied about everything, but isn't the goal of removing children from parents who's lifestyle we don't approve of trump truth? [...] A Colorado woman named Rozita Swinton has been arrested for pretending to be an abused child bride on the Texas FLDS compound. ABC:
Texas Rangers participated in the arrest of a Colorado woman who allegedly pretended to be a girl locked in a basement. The Rangers were in the state as part of their investigation into the Texas polygamy custody battle, local police told ABC News....
But ABC News has learned that Texas Rangers flew to Colorado Springs, Colo., and participated in the arrest of a 33-year-old woman who was charged with filing a false report.
The FBI also told ABC News it is assisting local police in the investigation. Colorado Springs police said in a statement that "The Texas Rangers were in Colorado Springs Wednesday as part of their investigation involving the compound in Texas."
Do you mean one of the SUPER DELEGATES?
Somehow I am not surprised.
The scum of the earth is either for Hitlery or the Obomination.
Is this story for real?
whatthehell’saJawa ?
LOL...it would be fun to see how many felons and crazies there are among pledged Dem delegates. It will be up to the American Spectator to investigate the list, because it is certain that no msm outlet will be curious about this bunch.
FACTS ARE SUCH PESKY THINGS with this FLDS thing:
Earlier in the day, a defense witness testified that it is uncommon for a polygamist sect to force girls as young as 13 into marriage, as the state alleged.
Religious scholar John Walsh also addressed a particularly damning piece of evidence: At least one bed found inside a temple that was allegedly used to consummate such marriages immediately after the ceremony.
“Historically, the only use of a bed in a temple is for temple worship itself,” said Walsh, who said he has studied the FLDS practices for 18 years. “The worship lasts a couple of hours, so all the temples will have a place where someone can lie down.”
But, he said, “To my knowledge, there has never been any sexual activity in a Mormon temple.”
Walsh said he also studies the mainstream Mormon church, which renounced polygamy a century ago and has no ties to the FLDS. He said without the polygamy aspect, the FLDS would resemble the Baptist or Catholic religions.

Ok...now this is really Operation Chaos!
Thus proving... once again... “Liberalism is a mental illness”. (Michael Savage)
Maybe it was something that had in the works in the event Romney was the nominee to make the real LDS Church look bad.
Just sayin....
This would not change the tenor of the discussion, which is the most spirited since elian.
The part about the original tipster being arrested is being reported in ABC and I think pretty much undisputed.
Patterico reported details on the woman, and another blog looked it up and noticed the same name from the same town is an Obama delegate. So unless there happens to be another person with exactly the same name in the same place, I guess it is true.
Unfrickin’ believable!
The media showed a picture of this woman on the news the other night....she is a black woman, which I thought was odd, because when they showed the compound and the courtroom on TV, I didn’t see any other black members of this Mormon sect. Was she the only one?
And now we find out she’s an Obama delegate? Wow!
Maybe she should join “reverend” Wright’s church.
More verification:
What’s more, the fake ‘Sarah’ (aka 33 yr old Rozita Swinton, probably) is a Colorado state delegate for Obama

Wath the Dems remove her name.
It’s there now. See if it disappears!
good job
You may be on to something.
Perhaps the purpose is to knock Romney off the “short list” of vice-presidential contenders?
This kind of stuff absolutely sinks Mitt Romney’s chances to be chosen for the VP slot
YUP!

And here I was sure that it was a employee of the Child “Protective” Services. Oh well.
Is it possible that she could be a plant to make Obama look bad?

Arrest in polygamy call stuns child advocates
Woman, 33, also being investigated in Eldorado case
No plant required.
Here’s a comment I found on another blog:
Since this woman is connected to the Democratic Party, I’m wondering if there are any other ties to uncover, perhaps to political operatives in the area who may have wanted to move against this compound, for whatever reason.
As a rule, My Pet Jawa is a reliable source. They’ve broken several important stories.
;’). I hope it is true actually and there is no Sarah but...people seem to know her....time will tell I guess.

_____________
She’s making Mitt Romney and Republicans look bad. That’s how many people will see it.
So what does this do for the validity of the case that was being built against the various members of the cult, that there were underage mothers and forced “marriages” by older men with 13- and 14-year-old girls?
The warrant was for purposes of SEARCH, and therefore, within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment. The basis for the warrant was “reasonable assumption” that the complaint call that came in to the local authorities about the conditions was based in a truthful assertion.
Turned out, that whether the complaint was legitimate or not, the existence of very real abuse was found, and under the laws of Texas, ought be subject to prosecution.
The roots of the tree may be poisoned, but the fruit was not.
It's WATCH!
Democrats are known to be sneaky and when their lips move, be assured they are lying about something.
A 3fer?
They warrant was requested in good faith. Nothing should change.
You just gotta love those Jawas!!!!
Polygamy is a FEDERAL OFFENSE. It's about time our laws are ENFORCED.
I know very little about this case. Facts or not, it is almost impossible for the government to LEGALLY go into a community and remove 416 children. They would not even think about doing such a thing at black or Islamic communtiy. Whether some people there were breaking the law or not, these people were targetted for being odd, eating odd food, etc. Sure they apparently want to live in the 19th century and I don’t, but it is their right to live and raise their children in the manner they want with VERY LIMITED exceptions.
Doesn't work that way. The tree's poison all the way up.
YUP!

Springs woman arrested for false reporting in raid
A Colorado Springs woman was arrested on charges of false reporting to authorities and is being investigated for her alleged involvement in the call that tipped authorities off to possible abuse at the Texas polygamist compound.
Police say they arrested 33-year-old Rozita Swinton at her home on Wednesday. The Texas Rangers were in Colorado Springs apparently as part of their investigation involving the compound in Texas.
They left and have not filed any charges on Swinton and the Colorado Springs Police spokesman said he could not discuss any aspects of the Texas case.
Our sister station KMGH in Denver found out that this is not the first time Swinton has been arrested on charges of making false reports to authorities. According to records the charge against Swinton was made in connection to calls received by police in February
This was a day or so ago. Do you have a source reporting that the woman has NOW been arrested for making a false report on the FLDS?
Thanks C !

I”ve not seen anything regarding an arrest related to the Texas FLDS event.
This was in the news yesterday on FR including the Obama delegate portion. Nothing new here as far as I can see, just a blog late in reading the news on the net is my guess.
Yeah especially when they come from CNN and its the Texas authorities giving them. Same ones who said it was a 16 year old girls call that justified the raid. Now its found to be bullsh!t trumped up charge to find 1 or 2 broken lawbreakers to condemn the whole community, just like the Waco!
They’re very good at finding things.
If you catch any errors send them to the blog I linked
Nevermind I mailed him about the error myself
“she is a black woman?” Now that makes sense since ordinarily race can’t be determined via Caller ID!
You are so funny.
So tell me, how many temples have beds in them?
This John Walsh is guessing. He has no idea of what went on in that compound.
No it is all BS, based on little fact, I don't know of one word in that is actual fact. Except maybe they spelled some word correctly.
Actually, I think Drudge started this with a sloppy post on his site about the woman's arrest.
Thanks..if you find out anything new, please ping or FM me.
Maybe he is guessing, maybe not. He likely knows as much about this as most of the experts posting here.
