More Astroturfing by the Democrats?
August 26, 2009
The news was all a flutter with news that a 24 year old was arrested for smashing 11 windows at the Colorado Democratic Party HQ this morning. ABC, NBC and CBS covered the indecent suggesting that anti-Obama, anti-health care reform, racist were to blame. CNN gave a mouth piece to Colorado Democratic Party Chair Pat Waak who explained, “Clearly there’s been an effort on the other side to stir up hate. I think this is the consequence of it.” Tonight Denver police have the culprit in custody:
Michelle Malkin has the scoop that the hate crime was a fake. Ashley Todd, a Democrat, vandalized the Democratic HQ in an attempt to tie the incident to town hall protesters. The Denver Post has the rest of the story,
A 24-year-old arrested this morning on suspicion of smashing 11 windows at Colorado Democratic Party headquarters tried to conceal his identity while allegedly committing the crime, according to police descriptions.
Maurice Schwenkler wore a shirt over his face, a hooded sweat shirt and latex gloves before he and another man fled the scene on bicycles, police said. Schwenkler was apprehended after a short chase. The other suspect remains at large.
While Schwenkler does not appear in the state’s voter registration database, a person by that name in November 2008 received $500 from a political 527 committee called Colorado Citizens Coalition for “communications,” according to campaign finance disclosures.
The accountant for the 527 appears to be the same woman who handles the books for many other Democratic-leaning political committees.
A Maurice Schwenkler also signed an online 2005 petition to free anti-war Christian protesters who were captured in Iraq.
State Democratic Party Chairwoman Pat Waak initially blamed the vandalism on animosity surrounding the health care debate, though Denver police declined to comment on possible motives.
According to Michelle, Schwenkler was paid by the SEIU-related front group CCC. Ouch. What a mess. We have enough problems with real hate crime in this country – we don’t need ‘fake’ hate crimes. Of course, if she hated the town hall protesters maybe it really was a hate crime. Anyway, crazy stuff.
