Former Obama staffer arrested in false ID scheme
« on: January 23, 2012, 10:18:03 AM »


A Des Moines man has been arrested after police say he used, or tried to use, the identity of Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz in a scheme to falsely implicate Schultz in perceived unethical behavior in office.

Zachary Edwards was arrested Friday and charged with identity theft.

Des Moines Register


Quote
Edwards is a former Obama staffer who directed “new media operations” for Obama in five states during the 2008 primaries. Thereafter, he was Obama’s Director of New Media for the State of Iowa. In the Democratic Party’s lexicon, “new media” apparently includes identity theft.

Edwards now works for LINK Strategies, a Democratic consulting firm with extraordinarily close ties to Iowa Democrat Tom Harkin. Its principal, Jeff Link, has served as Harkin’s campaign manager and chief of staff. Link, too, is a former Obama staffer. The LINK Strategies web site says that Jeff Link “served as a media consultant to the Obama for President Campaign, coordinating branding, all paid media and polling in 25 states, including seven battleground states (VA, NC, FL, CO, NM, NV, MT)….”

That Edwards allegedly tried to steal the Secretary of State’s identity in order to frame Schultz for “unethical behavior in office” is no coincidence. Iowa Democrats, as Kevin Hall of the Iowa Republican points out, have mounted a campaign of false accusations against Schultz:

It's the Democrats that are always against voter IDs, and it's no wonder.  Almost every case involving dirty politics or voter fraud , involve Democrats.

And the libtards are rushing to condemn this guy...look at all the stories on HuffPo, DU, FireDogLake, Crooks and Liars, Kos...and no doubt this will lead the major evening broadcasts as well.

Oh, who the hell am I kidding.

ETA: Just did a nadin on "Zachary Edwards arrested" and looked through the first 10 pages.  The Des Moines Register is the only MSM outlet that has picked this up.  NO liberal blogs or websites have mentioned it.

Not. A. Single. Fracking. One.  And this guy was arrested 72 hours ago.
