Climate of Fear Update
Back on November 12 of last year I wrote this post about how several Democrats were suspected of slashing the tires of Republican get out the vote vehicles in Wisconson. Here is the update: 'Milwaukee County District Attorney E. Michael McCann filed felony charges against five Democrat Party employees who slashed tires on 25 vehicles rented by RPW for get out the vote activities in last Novembers elections. Those charged include the sons of U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore and former Milwaukee Mayor Marvin Pratt.'
Also according the charges filed they also had plans to vandalize the Republican headquarters in Milwaukee. Wisconson has had other troubling voter fraud incidents as well with there being far more votes then eligible voters. No word yet on whether Barbara Boxer cried about this.
Update to this update: It just gets more intereesting. The Washington Post reports: 'Democratic Party of Wisconsin spokesman Seth Boffeli said the five were paid employees of the presidential campaign of Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) but were not acting on behalf of the campaign or party.'
