Democrats try to intimidate voters

Whataboutism is terminal for conservatives

 

Well, that's an interesting non-sequitur.

 

And yet true

 

Wow. Who'da thunk of such a thing?


GOP Mailer: We’ll Tell Your Neighbors If You Vote Democratic

The New Mexico Republican Party admits sending fliers to residents warning them that when “Democrats win the election and you didn’t do your part… your neighbors will know.”

When Anthony Tennent took the flyer out of his Albuquerque, New Mexico mailbox, he knew he had to tell somebody.

“I’m not that big into social media. I don't usually take the time to share that kind of thing,” he told The Daily Beast. “It really bothered me.”

The mailer shows a woman in a cold blue hue peeking through her blinds. “When the Democrats win the election and you didn’t do your part… your neighbors will know,” it reads, in all caps.

The back shows a map of houses, some tagged with red check marks in blue pinpoints.

“Do your part in this election,” it says. “After all, voting is a matter of public record.”

The flyer says it was mailed by the Republican Party of New Mexico. A spokesperson for the party, W. Tucker Keene, told The Daily Beast the party had, in fact, mailed the card. He said he was in a meeting and hung up when asked more about the flyer.

Tennent immediately posted the flyer on his Facebook page right before throwing it away. His friend Jake Moffitt then shared the mailer to a political Facebook group, where it received condemnation—and more attention.

“It sounded pretty damn sinister, honestly. He said there was a map on it with a bunch of question marks around local houses,” he said. “I'm glad it's getting some attention because holy ****.”

From there, the post quickly found its way to Reddit, under the title “The Republican Party is resorting to voter intimidation to keep people from voting Democrat.”

That would appear to be criminal. “Whoever… attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote or to vote as he may choose… shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both,” federal law states.

The mailer is similar to a piece of Ted Cruz campaign literature sent to Iowans in January about a “voting violation” that’s a “matter of official public record” ahead of the state’s caucus.

The top of the Republican ticket is employing a similar strategy—only in person. On Monday, Donald Trump once again told a Pennsylvania crowd that the election could be “stolen from us” due to voter fraud. He has attempted to enlist a team of “election observers” to linger outside of polling stations on election day and, as his website states, “Help Me Stop Crooked Hillary From Rigging This Election!”

As for Tennent, he said the attempt by Trump’s party to suppress his vote has backfired.

“I wouldn't vote Republican after seeing that mailer, [including] all of the Republican candidates who will be up for election—state reps and the like.”

Glib butt jib but

 

Oh goodness! Someone is exhibiting their Tourette syndrome! Let me guess, a liberal?

 

this is how black patriots responded to Republican efforts to intimidate voters and peaceful American Muslims:

 

Is she a Black Panther too?

 

see the post made in that site:




"Tony Haben3 years ago
The fact that a bunch of Neo-Nazi Skinheads earlier that day were jumping and harassing old Black women and that's why king Samir and Brother Jerry Jackson was there. To make sure none of the elders were hurt. Why isn't anyone on here bitching about that? know the full story before you start making ignorant statements."



sources are listed there as well

 

Post your sources here. Post the proof, like the pictures of the BP's walking around swinging night sticks in a threatening manner. Otherwise, you have no proof.

 

You already did - see your own link which contains posts and links by Tony Haben.

 

Who is Tony Haben, and why should I care about what he says? As far as that goes he's just another liberal hater.
Sorry, but I'm a skeptic and you're going to have to prove to me something I can't see for myself. Too many lies and Fake News now.

 

Read your own da.m.n post. His name is listed among those who commented in youtube - YOUR source for that video.

 

Comment on you tube. Ok. and I am to believe what someone posted because? Proof please. Otherwise, you're done. Next!

 

How do you know Jones had anything to do with the ad?

 

Is this "whataboutism"?

 

How do you know Moore's primary win wasn't what pushed the women to speak up?

Does this mean you believe the women? They aren't victims if Moore's claim they're lying is true.

Seems as though you're prepared to support a pervert for political reasons.

 

My memory isn't so good. Would you link to where he claimed Jones had anything to do with the ad?

 

Hmmm. No link. I cut and pasted that phrase "Your vote is public record and your community will know whether or not you helped stop Roy Moore" to youtube, and the first two videos to show up are invented , newsy sounding, progrmas read by an automated voice. Looks like someone is falling for the russkies....AGAIN

 

2 guys, one with a billy club ,8 years ago who were removed from the premices by10AM. You really need to find yourselves a better Bogeyman.

 

Who said Jones! Democrat PAC Highway 31.

 

I think he law has legal standing and you are theone trying to dismiss it because "charges haven't been filed".

 

Beause his previous runs didn't even those he won and this disclosure was timed so the Democrats could try to win by default notnkn the issues.

Vicitmized by the left and the MSM.

Or not a pervert. Depends on what you believe doesnt it and whether you can support someone who wants to kill vialble babies up to the moment of birth. Not a great choice is it.
