The Democrats’ Desperate, Race-Baiting Push
October 30th, 2014 By: Leon H. Wolf (Diary)
As several key Senate races head down to the wire, many embattled Democrats have, in desperation, resorted to their most reliable, tried and true tactic: race baiting. None has done so more gratuitously or offensively than the pasty white creature of privilege Sen. Kay Hagan (D-NC)4% who has distributed flyers suggesting that if Thom Tillis won, blacks would be lynched and more recently suggested that Thom Tillis killed Trayvon Martin. In response to these gratuitous and offensive tactics, Thom Tillis objected publicly to the race-baiting of Hagan’s campaign; for doing so he was subjected to a National Journal story which ran an incredible headline suggesting that “both sides” were injecting race into the NC Senate campaign.
Just to review the bidding – one side (Hagan) ran two racially charged ads, the other side (Tillis) complained that the ads were racially charged, and the media reports this as “both sides injecting race” into a campaign. What despicable and ridiculous arbiters of truth we have in this country.
The New York Times(!), at least, has recognized the blatantly obvious – that embattled Democrats this election cycle are responsible for playing the race card to the hilt this election season:
In the final days before the election, Democrats in the closest Senate races across the South are turning to racially charged messages — invokingTrayvon Martin’s death, the unrest in Ferguson, Mo., and Jim Crow-era segregation — to jolt African-Americans into voting and stop a Republican takeover in Washington.
The images and words they are using are striking for how overtly they play on fears of intimidation and repression. And their source is surprising. The effort is being led by national Democrats and their state party organizations — not, in most instances, by the shadowy and often untraceable political action committees that typically employ such provocative messages.
I have given the Republicans a lot of grief over the last couple of weeks for running on a mostly idea-free platform this election season. But it’s important to remember that however little the Republicans have to offer America, the Democrats are offering much, much worse. They have demonstrated time and time again that they are willing to actively sow seeds of discord, discontentment and unrest in America if it helps them keep their seats of power. They care nothing for America or for the health of American society.
They have no interest in healing race relationships and in fact are actively working against it because it furthers their electoral prospects.
Such people must not be allowed to keep power, whatever the alternative.

Democrat Leaders in West Virginia Getting More Desperate before Election Day
October 30th, 2014 By: unsilentmajority (Diary)
We are less than seven days out from Republicans in West Virginia taking a U.S. Senate seat, all three seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, as well as taking over the state House of Delegates.
Now that we are in the final stretch, Democrat Party leaders in West Virginia are turning to intimidation to get out the vote.
On person on Twitter received the following letter signed by state Democrat Party Chairman Larry Puccio:
“Our records indicate that you are eligible to vote in 2014.
The West Virginia Democratic Party monitors the level of voting in your neighborhood. The Kanawha County Clerk’s Office official voting records are public information, and show whether you cast a ballot, but not [who] you voted for. We will be reviewing these records after the election to determine whether you joined other citizens who voted in 2014…
…Please don’t disappoint us.”
Needless to say, this letter creeped out this woman, who took to Twitter to vent.
Of course, the Democrat candidates has often used intimidation to get people to the polls in the state’s history, particularly during primaries. This is not a tactic that can work anymore, and now people can go to social media with the proof.
This also isn’t the first time that Democrats have tried to use their voter rolls in an unethical way. The state Ethics Commission smacked House Democrats for using voter mailing lists compiled by the state Democrat Party to send official House of Delegates letters to likely voters prior to the May primary. Even Secretary of State Natalie Tennant’s office looks like it’s operating in a partisan way. the state Supreme Court scolded Tennant for trying to leave off the ballot a Republican candidate for House of Delegates. Her office has been lax in making Democrat-supporting third party groups, like the the AFL-CIO’s “Honest West Virginians,” file their financial reports on time (Honest West Virginians finally filed their reports two days after I wrote about it, but still weeks after they made large radio and TV ad buys, in clear violation). She can’t even follow her own polling place rules, leading a rally to the doors of a voter registration office.
The numbers don’t look good for Democrats. Republicans just need four seats to sweep the House of Delegates for the first time in 83 years, with as many as 10 seats in play. The state Senate could see as many as seven Republicans elected, putting that body at a 17-17 tie. And U.S. Senator Joe Manchin could easily find himself the senior congressional Democrat. Democrat leaders have lost the confidence of the electorate and can’t get it back any other way than by threatening registered Democrats.
With friends like Democrats, who needs enemies?

Teamster Members Attack Union ‘Fatcats’ and ‘Parasites’ For Misuse of Funds, Lies & More
October 30th, 2014 By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)
Members of a New York-based Teamsters local blasted their union leadership for raising their own salaries, in addition to misusing union funds, threats and lies, according to fliers handed out at union-represented worksites in the New York area earlier this week.
Teamsters local 812, based in Great Neck, New York—a suburb of New York City—represents primarily soft drink and brewery workers.
Last year, according to financial records on file with the U.S. Department of Labor, the union claimed 3,504 members and the average Local 812 union members paid over $1,060 in dues, fees, or assessments according to the DOL records.
Since New York is not a Right-to-Work state, the union was able to require payment from the workers or have them terminated from their jobs if they refused.
With their pension fund is in critical status, as is required by law, the union sent out a notice to all affected members last year stating, “that by the 2018 Plan Year, contributions are not expected to be high enough to meet government standards for funding promised benefits plus those benefits that participants are currently earning.”
Given that their pensions may run out of money in a few short years and more than $1,000 coming out of their paychecks to fund the union, members facing an uncertain future appear disgruntled and disgusted at their union leaders for a variety of issues, including misusing union funds, raising their own salaries, lying to members, as well as threatening to a union shop steward at a Anheuser Bush facility in the Bronx.
So disgruntled, in fact, that several members were handing these fliers out at least one Local 812-represented worksite:

Former Trek President Also Says Mary Burke Fired by Her Family
To say it bluntly, she was fired’
October 30, 2014 BY: Stephen Gutowski
“To say it bluntly, she was fired,” former Trek president and COO Tom Albers told WISN.
His comments come on the heels of a report that detailed several former Trek employees’ claims that the current Democratic candidate for Wisconsin governor, Mary Burke, was fired by her own family after a catastrophic stint overseeing European operations.
“Her performance in Europe was not good,” Albers, who was vice president of the company at the time, told WISN. “We were losing a lot of money for us at the time. I don’t remember the amount, but it was considered significant based on where we were [as a company] at that particular point in time.”
“And also, we were encountering personnel/people problems over there. The people were threatening to leave the company. Many of them were.”
Albers said that Mary’s brother John was the first to raise the alarm over his sister’s poor performance. He said he was then sent to review Burke’s work and concluded her job was beyond saving.
“I pretty much came back with the same conclusions that John Burke had made; and that was that we had major people problems over there and were in a situation where we could lose a lot of people,” he told WISN. “We were losing a lot of money and I couldn’t see where Mary Burke was going to turn this thing around.”
Albers said there was some truth is Mary Burke’s claim that she was “burned out” by the job and that’s why her time there ended. However, he said that wasn’t the only issue.
“I think she probably did suffer burnout,” he said. “But at the same time she was underwater, too, and she couldn’t handle the position.”
When asked who made the final decision to fire Mary Burke, Albers was unequivocal.
“Ultimately, it was Dick Burke’s decision,” the former Trek president said. “He would have been the one who made the final decision.”

Undercover Video Shows North Carolina Campaign Staffers Encouraging Non-Citizen to Vote for Hagan
October 30, 2014
As the midterm elections approach, there is some concern about voter fraud having a significant impact on election results.
A video released by James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas will only heighten those concerns. The video, released Thursday morning, shows a Veritas undercover investigator asking campaign staffers for a number of different candidates whether it would be illegal for her to vote, given that she is not a citizen of the United States. All of the staffers encourage her to vote anyway.
In a piece for National Review, John Fund said what goes on the video is “disturbing.”
He said at least one of the staffers in the video “appears to be afoul of a state law making it a felony ‘for any person, knowing that a person is not a citizen of the United States, to instruct or coerce that person to register to vote or to vote.’”

Warrant Issued After Democrat Senator’s Husband Caught Stealing Republican Campaign Signs on Video
“My husband is the man depicted in the video…”
October 30, 2014 by Mikael Thalen
Police issued an arrest warrant for the husband of Delaware State Sen. Bethany Hall-Long Wednesday after Republican volunteers captured him stealing political campaign signs on video.
Local members of the First State Liberty PAC and Republican Party, who posted video of the incident to Youtube, stated that repeated sign thefts in the city of Middletown prompted several members to begin monitoring the area after dark.
At around 4 a.m. Wednesday morning, only two hours after the group arrived, a man was seen collecting signs and attempting to load them into his vehicle. Caught in the act, the man, later identified as Dana Long, began justifying the theft by falsely claiming that the signs had “no names” on them.
“Property of the Republican Party!” one volunteer said, reading from the sign.
“We got you, brother! We got the license plate, your face, and everything,” another volunteer added.
After reporting the incident, the group was informed that the license plate and description of the suspect matched that of State Sen. Long’s husband.
Unable to locate the suspect, Middletown Police issued a warrant for Long’s arrest, charging him with Class A misdemeanor theft. If convicted, Long could face up to a year in prison and a fine of $2,300.
Although Long refused to speak due to the “advice of counsel,” Long’s wife issued a short statement following the video’s release.
My husband is the man depicted in the video. The video shows him removing a handful of signs this morning. He turned them over to the Democratic Party and asked that they be returned to the Republican Party about six hours after they were taken up. Sadly, this race has become tough and personal. My husband is my high school sweetheart and he loves me very much. I was not aware that he had allowed his frustration over the campaign attacks to get the better of him. Of course I’m disappointed and wish that it had not happened.
John Fluharty, the state’s GOP executive director, argued that the encounter merely reflected the Democratic Party’s continued corruption and failure.
“When you only have a track record of high taxes, unemployment and lower wages for private sector employees to stand on, the Democrats must resort to breaking the law to win elections because they are scared of being held accountable for their dismal performance,” Fluharty wrote.
Whether the incident will sway the upcoming election remains to be seen.
