Cops Called About Reporter Committing Journalism on Congressional Candidate
"Hello, 911? This is the Dede Scozzafava campaign. Could you send a police car over to the Elks Lodge? There is a reporter here asking our candidate uncomfortable questions. Thank you."
Something like this call went out last night when a reporter committed the "high crime" of asking Republican congressional candidate, Dede Scozzafava (endorsed by the Daily Kos), questions that she obviously felt very uneasy about answering. Scozzafava, who was recently the subject of an Open Thread here on NewsBusters, is running in the special election for the open seat in the NY 23rd congressional district. She was being questioned last night by John McCormack of the Weekly Standard when the police were called with a complaint about him for making Scozzafava uncomfortable with his probing questions. Here is how McCormack describes the scene:
Lowville, N.Y.
Tonight, Dede Scozzafava, the Republican candidate for the November 3 special election in the 23rd congressional district, spoke to about 100 Republicans at the Lewis County GOP dinner at the Elks Lodge 1605. After a dinner of turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing, Scozzafava fended off criticism that she wasn't as conservative as third-party candidate Doug Hoffman and urged her supporters to vote for her in order to keep her Democratic opponent Bill Owens from serving as a rubber stamp for Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama's agenda in Washington. It was a fairly typical evening--until the speech ended and someone with Scozzafava's campaign called the police. On me.

Hey, those questions weren't in the script! :thatsright:
-
Dede Scozzafava has the backing of ACORN. Why is the RNC supporting her over another republican that is running in this race?
-
so they're thinking about charging the balloon family with abuse of resources... are they going to charge this person as well?
-
I was reading this earlier and reflecting on the 'emergency response envelope' the RNC sent me just yesterday. I am seriously tempted to stuff this article in an send it back. :fuelfire:
We got enough RINOS !!!

I'm tellin ya, this woman sounds further to the left than Che-Porter, and THAT'S saying something!

I don't know. The RNC has gone off the deep end.

It is official, the "Emergency Request" RNC envelope is being returned with this article (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704500604574483990102017038.html) inside and a note attached explaining their 'donation' has been sent to Hoffman.
NO MO RINOS
ETA Now, what do I do with the request I got from Ron Paul?? Suggestions?? Be nice. :heart:

While damning them with faint praise, let me point out that at least Jeanne and Carol are honest whores bought and paid for. Their round healed Rino cousins next door fly a false flag while firing on their own troops a field.
Now I am off to mail my "urgent plea" with the afore mentioned article properly highlighted and personally noted. At least I am poviding a postal person work. :rotf:
Next up, a check for Hoffman. :fuelfire:
