Free Republic

Come on guys. How hard is it to Snope a statement that sounds bogus? Jerry Brown did not sign a law give illegals the right to vote. He did however sign a law allowing them to get driver’s licenses, and CA does have the motor voter law which automatically registers the driver to vote. However, any illegal, regardless of whether they are registered to vote, cannot legally vote. It make us look bad, and makes Freerepublic look bad when this kind of misinformation goes around.

In 1995 or so, Harry Reid stated that the Sagebrush Rebellion supporters were the “same cast of characters that blew up the federal building in Oklahoma City”. He made the statement shortly after a bomb exploded on the roof of the BLM office in Reno. Later commentators claimed that it had to be the work of the right wing affiliated with the “multiple use” movement or the Sage Brush Rebellion, because there were no green organizations active in Nevada. However, a number of green groups had participated in the annual Western Shoshone gathering in Crescent Valley, Nevada for years, protesting the BLM’s attempts to remove the Dann Family’s horses from overgrazed BLM land. I can’t remember for sure which green organizations, but I witnessed 3 or 4 groups similar to Earth First at the gathering, distributing literature and most likely involved in the protests. This was probably a few months before the BLM bomb in Reno.

I just wanted to point out that “Domestic Terrorists” isn’t the first idiotic blather to come out of Harry’s foaming pie hole.
