Climate of Fear Update
Here is an update on the Milwaukee trial of Democrats who are accused of slashing the tires of Republican vans last election day, “ “Milwaukee County Court Commissioner Barry Phillips ordered the five, including the sons of U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Milwaukee, and former Acting Milwaukee Mayor Marvin Pratt, to each stand trial on a felony charge of criminal damage to property. Two Democratic campaign workers who were sent to Wisconsin in the final weeks leading up to Nov. 2, Levar Stoney and Opel Simmons, testified the five were laughing and joking as they talked about what they had collectively done at the Republican office a couple of miles away.” (Via wizbang)
Also from Wizbang is this story about how a Republican in New Hampshire jammed Democrat get out of the vote phones in 2002 on election day is going to prison. “McGee last July admitted developing and carrying out a scheme to block get-out-the-vote phone bank lines at five state Democratic offices and the non-partisan Manchester Professional Fire Fighters Association for 85 minutes on the morning of the 2002 election.”
In kind of related news, union members in Detroit are acting like jerks towards Marines who own foreign cars or who support Bush, “Marines at nearby Marine Corps Reserve Center say on Tuesday morning, the director of security at the UAW told them that while they support the troops, Marines driving foreign vehicles or sporting a President George Bush bumper sticker were no longer welcome to park there.”
