If your campaign is in trouble in Chicago call in a bomb threat blame the Lefties and get the White Conservative vote who hates Lefties. Is what Mike Royko wrote if memory serves I can’t find the exact quote.
We know Tarheeldem he has stayed at the Lake and at Kos despite both sites no mention of violence in comments policy and he has been at both places a long time.
A violent person would have found another site. So I don’t believe the charges. But I do know Chicago Politics and calling in a bomb threat on your political campaign is a sign that you are in trouble.
Its a sign that you are willing to demonize the Left to get White Conservative voters.
Normally this tactic would work except for three things.
1) Obama is Black he is never going to get conservative White votes no matter what he does.
2) On issues like Jobs, Housing, taxing the rich more, not cutting Social Security and Medicare the biggest issues for voters the majority of Americans are to the Left of Obama
3) After 10 years of Bush using terror to get votes and get his way it will take more than a supposed bomb threat from a police dept that has cops that torture people and the cops never get punished. A police force that sent so many people to Death Row on such flimsy reasons we ended the Death Penalty. A police dept that let Mayor Daley’s kid go free for murder in a case very much like the Trayvon Martin case no investigation, allegations of political favors…only the victim was White.
The Chicago PD has no Cred especially when politics is involved .
CHICAGO — Prosecutors say three men arrested in a raid on a Chicago apartment had planned to attack President Barack Obama’s campaign headquarters, Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s home and other targets, including police stations and police cars.
The trio was arrested Wednesday in a nighttime raid in the Bridgeport neighborhood on the South Side. They’re accused of trying to make Molotov cocktails ahead of the two-day NATO summit that starts Sunday.
Defense attorneys told a judge on Saturday that undercover police are the ones who brought the Molotov cocktails, and that their clients were entrapped.

The TV report said a nephew of Mayor Daley — Richard J. “R.J.” Vanecko — was part of the group David had bumped into. Vanecko had been in legal trouble before — he’d pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor weapons charge stemming from a 1992 brawl at an underage-drinking party thrown by Daley’s son, Patrick Daley, in Grand Beach, Mich. Other news outlets quickly picked up the story. Suddenly, David Koschman’s little-known death was thrust into the spotlight.

The Chicago Tribune reports that attorneys representing victims of former Chicago Police Detective Burge have demanded the deposition of Richard Daley the former Mayor of Chicago who was Cook County States Attorney at the time of the alleged torture.

The future now past Mayor ignored several reports of torture and used information obtained by torture to get easy convictions and look like a great prosecutor. Then he as Mayor used his office to ignore, helped cover up and derail investigations of the torture and now only after he leaves office after decades as Mayor are these charges coming to light.
Rahm when the Mayor’s office of Chicago calls someone guilty about anything involving politics in an election year…well nobody believes it.

Hi Mod I had some trouble with getting links on my post can you help please.
If anyone wants just take the link paste it and you should find the article I refer too.
It works a treat, too, and not just locally.
Last yr G20 in Toronto *somebody* set a police car on fire, it burned for two hours. Why? It was a great photo-op. It was on the front page of every newspaper in the country and clips were aired over and over and over on every channel. Just before Stephen Harper’s campaign. People outside Toronto were shocked at the lawless and violent Torontonians. Harper’s Conservatives re-elected with a majority.
Oh, a 300-page more-or-less independent report came out yesterday, which actually came down pretty hard on the cops and the G20 security planners. Police chief Blair says he will be bringing charges against some 45 cops — just the bad apples, I guess.
The report is actually quite readable, it’s like a live-blog of the G20, only a year later. If you want to see what the G20-approved tactics are, this is a playbook.
Thank you for this article! now if we can just get the police to find his drivers license and give it to him maybe he can come home!
Oh yes and he was released with out charge. dedicated non violent person.
I really admire those who can maintain a non-violent posture and attitude when provoked, beaten, etc. Sadly, I ain’t one of those folks.
