Daily Kos suggests 'eradication' of Democrat Delegate.

Debra Bartoshevich was a Clinton delegate from Wisconsin. She made headlines, recently, for announcing that she would be voting for John McCain in November.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel writes:

She said a series of controversial Obama associations, including but not limited to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Chicago developer Tony Rezko, reflected poorly on his judgment. And she echoed the complaints of many of Clinton’s most ardent supporters that Clinton was treated unfairly in the nominating process and by the party.

"No self-respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party that ignores her - that’s by Susan B. Anthony," said Bartoshevich, referring to the famous suffragist.

Bartoshevich called herself a "devoted Democrat" who, she said, had never voted for a Republican for president.

Of course, Obama and his surrogates allow no dissent. After all, how can a 'uniter' with Marxist tendencies (both in policy and politics, it seems) be expected to suffer opposing voices from within his own party?

Almost immediately, Obama cronies at the Daily Kos said that she should be 'eradicated' (pleasant, loving, inclusive language there, eh?).


Almost immediately, Obama's cronies in the Wisconsin state party's convention to do just what the Daily Kos suggested, moving that they suspend their own party's rules to do it.

The Madison Captial Times writes:

State Party chair Joe Wineke, an Edwards backer who is now enthusiastically for Obama, asked Friday night's opening session of the state party convention to suspend party rules and begin an immediate process of stripping Bartoshevich of her national convention delegate status.

Answering Wineke's call to "send the message that the Democrats of the state of Wisconsin will never support someone who supports John McCain," delegates approved a motion to raise the question of whether Bartoshevich, having declared her support for the Republican presidential candidate, meets the requirement that national convention delegates be "bona fide Democrats."

Wineke says the state party will file a formal challenge with the Democratic National Committee early next week.

Really? A woman voices a choice other than Obama and suddenly she's no longer a 'bona fide Democrat' and should be stripped of her status as a delegate?

I'd say that I'm shocked and stunned that this is occuring, but I'm not.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports on the sentiments of a 'true party loyalist':

"It hurts my soul and it hurts my heart that I have to stand here and do this resolution on a delegate who claimed to be a Hillary Clinton supporter who has now declared her support for John McCain," said Paula Dorsey, a party activist from Milwaukee.

You know what hurts my soul? That the Democratic party has sunk so far that they actually endorse and condone ousting a devoted Democrat delegate who dared exercise her right to Freedom of Speech and voice dissatification about Obama.

After all, doesn't every citizen of the United States have a right, and a duty, to vote their conscience ... ?

Obama goes Orwellian.

In a rather un-surprising move (considering that he's been doing it for months), Barack Obama has officially released the hounds to 'counter the smears'.

While he has received much internet fanfare for his 'Fight the Smears' website (which, ironically, addressed Michelle's 'whitey' video first), there hasn't been as much attention paid to the tactics that Obama is condoning that his lackeys use.

Will the team of Internet thugs be ramped up to continue to bully, intimidate, threaten, "out," and hack lawful bloggers exercising freedom of speech and expression? Because that’s what they have been doing. Just open the tab at the top of this site called Team Obama Hate Messages, which I cannot update fast enough with all the messages I receive. And read this blogger’s post called Barack Obama Condones Coordinated Internet Harrassment By His Thugs.

Of course, the mainstream media, such as TIME are not exploring this angle. Probably because they have NO IDEA how Obama’s Internet thugs currently operate. I notice that TIME did not bother to interview Larry Johnson of No Quarter, who they mention, or any other supposed offending bloggers for their story. Typical for this election. Turn an Obama for America press release into a "news story" and call it a day.

Luckily, I myself have yet to run up against any of this 'opposition'. Perhaps I'm not making enough noise.

But, it strikes me as somewhat Orwellian that Obama sends out his thugs to keep questions from even being asked, and to keep 'smears' (read: pointing out facts) about his campaign from taking root in the public discourse.
