Are they Democrats, or are they Democratic?

[bobjam]

If they had been Republican activists and had slashed Democratic tires outside Columbus....

Seems to me this is the only documented case I have seen of attempts to suppress votes as john fonda kerry was talking about the other day.

[speed_addiction]

I really doubt any real punishment will be given out in this one. I expect more of a "Tsk! Tsk!" from the judge than anything else.

[Dustbunny]

Geeze it is about time this made the news.

[daybreakcoming]

What a surprise - I figured this would be uh put down to boyish pranks. Seems like the Feds should be in on this also but what do I know.......

[vpintheak]

I bet some people were disenfranchised! How could those democrats do such a thing!

[101st-Eagle]

Lead story on CBS news tonight? ha..

Sowande Omokunde

I don't think so. He changed his name to Supreme Solar Allah.

[eureka!]

Is this some of the voter suppression that Je$$e Jackson was protesting? /sarcasm....

[CitadelArmyJag]

Geeze People! Give these guys a break... After all, they were only trying to prevent the Republicans from disenfranchising people, and it would have worked too. "If it weren't for you kids and your dog..." /sarc.
Give Rove a scooby snack.

[johnnycap]

Hmmm, interesting names...I'd like to see the shining faces of the alleged perps that go with those names...

[Proud2BeRight]

Most Democrats may not be thugs but most thugs are Democrats.

[Logical me]

If the judge lets them off with a hand slap, I think the owners of the vehicles should sue for damages. Let the system let them off from that. Ha!

[FeeinTennessee]

Hmmm, why am I not suprised?

[smonk]

isn't wisconsin also where they caught a dem functionary trading bogus registrations (Dick Tracy, Mary Poppins, etc) for crack?

[DustyMoment]

Hmmmmm, Democrat thugs. Go figure!!

[afraidfortherepublic]

It's about time! Now I hope that when they are convicted they will be given more than a slap on the wrist.

[Yo-Yo]

One witness told investigators the five defendants, dressed in "Mission Impossible" type gear, black outfits and knit caps, left the Democratic Party headquarters at about 3 a.m. on Nov. 2, and returned about 20 minutes later, extremely excited and talking about how they had slashed the tires.
*SNIP*
Democratic Party of Wisconsin spokesman Seth Boffeli said the five were paid employees of John Kerry's presidential campaign, but were not acting on behalf of the campaign or party.

"Should you or any of your IM force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. Good luck, Jim." "This is not something we engage in, or encourage. We had to make it clear that this is something these individuals were doing on their own," Boffeli said.
