[applecorped]

Is it?

If they intended to touch as much as a circuit inside the phone closet, of course it is.

Vitter is interfering with the process of getting rid of Flanagan and trying to keep his pet prosecutor in office. This could very well lead to the diaper boy going to the slammer.

I ran this by my 10 year old niece for a translation, and she thinks you're accusing a Senator and federal prosecutor of corrupting the judicial process.

Do you have proof of this? Are you sending it to AG Eric Holder?

Absolutely. As recently as the day after the pimp got arrested, Diaper Boy was standing by his pet creepo Flanagan and insisting that he would not withdraw his =hold on the appointment of an actual law-abiding prosecutor until he gets a guarantee that the other prosecutor would not also be let go.

Like it's his place to do that.

Flanagan is dirt, as far as i can dsee. He is fighting for his job and his son joins a known criminal to break into the phone system of the Senator who is trying to get rid of him.

Yeah, some co-inky-dink!

I suspect that part of the motive was that Diaper Boy wants Landrieu to look like the sleaze Senator, so that people will forget that the one up for re-election right now is a pervert. And having kept the crooked prosecutor on the job long enough to find some dirt on Landrieu would not hurt his chances of getting elected, either.

And Ihave written to Holder, but he has probably figured it out already. All of the actors are such obvious gutter slime it is a surprise that any of the adults ever held paying jobs.

(And no surprise that the pimp is a momma's boy basement dwelling troll.)

They were there to commit a crime and that is all there is to it.

Unfortunately, you have no evidence of this.

Of the TWO possible crimes they could have committed, one is a federal felony good for ten years in prison and a massive fine.

Actually, there were hundreds of crimes they could have committed. The point is, they didn't.

Best be careful, or Retracto the Correction Alpaca might send you a sternly worded PM.

Calling names reduces your credibility in most peoples eyes.

Your posts look like spittle flecked rants. If you had a point no one would know since you make make it easy to write you off as a wide eyed fanatic.

This is obviously a very severe breach of national security (trying to wiretap a Senator on the Committee on Homeland Security). I assume the torture apologists here feel it is necessary to use some "enhanced intorrogation" on the detainee?

Might as well lock him up indefinitely too while you're at it, in case he returns to the battlefield telephone cabin.

Since nobody was actually trying to wiretap anything, and there's a distinct lack of any connection to terrroist training camps in Yemen, I doubt there'll be much need for waterboarding or military detention.

I mean, these practices are debatable even in cases that really do represent strategic threats to national security. Why don't you find one of those threads and have a serious debate? Lefty's already doing an excellent job of chumping up this thread; your contributions are only going to be redundant.

You people defending the pimp have still not come up with a theory as to what he may have been doing that did not involve a felony. He was clearly committing a crime just being there. Thus, it makes no sense for him to film it unless he thought that he could produce fake evidence of something more important. How can he do that just by getting in there and taking a picture of a normal-looking switching panel? He would have to install or disconnect something.

I see no way that just photographing a bunch of wires could produce any major news stories around the country. Can any of you?

I do see how he could use the opportunity to tell a major lie in support of the pervert senator. Problem is that it would be a felony to do so.

But, because a bunch of right-wing ideologues have been fooled into thinking that the pimp is an actual hero, he may have already bought his own BS to the point where he does not give much thought to the fact that his actions might be construed as a felony.

We are talking about a lunatic here.

Mary Landrieu said that "her phone lines were jammed" so that constituents couldn't get through to talk to her about health care. She obviously lied, or used hyperbole to make an excuse.

O'Keefe and company attempted to get into the office and prove her to be a liar via embarassing video / audio. To gain entry, they lied and probably broke a few misdemeanor laws. There is no wiretapping alleged by anyone.

Really, I thought that liberals would applaud this type of whistleblowing? Don't you guys remember Richie "Scoop" Cunningham and his secret informant from Happy Days?

You just drove into the ditch.

The Republicans have actually jammed phone lines at Democratic offices.

Don't apologize for the little pigs.

You seem really angry about investigative journalism, lefty.

Are you connected to the Acorn organisation by any chance?

I am just vehemently opposed to lying little pimps who live in their moms' basements and think that they are worth something to society.

That sounds like any number of 60 Minutes pieces.

 

[carlitos]

That's what I was thinking.

leftysergeant, feel free to post evidence of Republicans jamming Democratic Senator / Representative's phone lines. If I missed it above, just link the post. (I suspect that, even if that were some sinister Rush Limbaugh plot (to call Democratic reps), it is still fair play in our system of government, though) If you could post it without your usual invective, that would be appreciated.

 

[Sword_Of_Truth]

No, they do not. At least there is no evidence that the employees really meant to help the pimp and the sleaze succede. There is the possiblity that they were setting him up and were just waiting for a chance to spring a trap on his sorry butt.

Because that's what ACORN employees do all day. They sit around in their offices waiting for conservative guerilla filmmakers to show up out of the blue and pretend to help them pretend to set up child sex-slavery operations.

Of course, timing is everything in these counter-sting sting operations. That's why four or five of them in a row strung Okeefe and Giles along without sealing the deal because the exact right moment never came up.

Right, Lefty?

 

[Brainster]

That's what I was thinking.

leftysergeant, feel free to post evidence of Republicans jamming Democratic Senator / Representative's phone lines.

Here's one example:

To win the primary, the newcomer [John Kerry] overcame the election eve arrest of his brother, Cameron, and campaign field director Thomas J. Vallely, both then 22, in the basement of a Lowell building that housed the headquarters of Kerry and another Democratic contender, state Representative Anthony R. DiFruscia of Lawrence. It was almost 2 a.m. - 30 hours before the polls opened - when the two were arrested on charges of breaking and entering with intent to commit larceny.

That day's Sun blared a memorable, double-deck headline: "Kerry brother arrested in Lowell `Watergate."' DiFruscia, getting some extra ink in the campaign's waning hours, had drawn the parallel to the break-in at Democratic headquarters in Washington three months earlier.

The Kerry camp declared it a setup, saying that the two responded to an anonymous phone call, minutes earlier, threatening to cut the campaign's 36 phone lines on the day before its get-out-the-vote effort. Lowell Police arrested the pair in an area near the trunk line for all of the building's phones.

Oh, wait, you said you wanted an example of a Republican jamming the phone lines of a Democrat? Sorry, my bad.

 

[leftysergeant]

Because that's what ACORN employees do all day. They sit around in their offices waiting for conservative guerilla filmmakers to show up out of the blue and pretend to help them pretend to set up child sex-slavery operations.

We only know what the few ACORN people who have spoken out did. That there are ACORN workers who refused to help pimp and sleaze is proof that they are liars, and that anything they told us about ACORN is BS. All we have is sloppy edited video of people playing them for clowns. You obviously know nothing about ACORN. You just swallow what rightwad morons like the pimp tell you.

They lied to you.

We know for sure that four people tried to screw up the pimp's operation.

Philly called the cops.

Vera was in contact with an anti-human-trafficing operation before pimp and sleaze started telling their lies about ACORN.

Kaelke just fed them useless BS advice and introduced them to a blogger who apparently knew something about prostitution operations. Smells like a set-up to me.

The worker at the L.A. office was trying to get the sleaze into a women's shelter.

There is even a suggestion that the Baltimore office was trying to get her into a shelter. The sleaze mentioned in a TV interview that one of the Baltimore ladies suggested that they get together some time for coffee. The implication is that it would be girl-talk. The pimp would not be there. We know from the L.A> video that ACORN does prostitute rescues. Think, if it is not too much trouble.

The pimp proved jack squat to rational people.

Of course, timing is everything in these counter-sting sting operations.

More true than you seem to want to believe. Where were they going to send the cops? You want the pimp to know before the girls arrive that the cops are after his sorry butt? Do think these things out. Vera contacted the cops and they told him they needed more to work with. Do get all the facts in order before you comment on stuff you don't understand.

That's why four or five of them in a row strung Okeefe and Giles along without sealing the deal because the exact right moment never came up.

Right, Lefty?

No. They just couldn't get verification of a location for the pimp and sleaze.

And the pimp did not set up the sort of sting that would have worked. Her didn't give the victims a chance to get down and dirty. Had the sorry sack of slime done so, he would probably be sitting in a courtroom now explaioning to a jury why he interfered with police oiperations to play his stupid freaking game.

Now he is going to have to explain how what he did to Landrieu was not a felony.

 

[leftysergeant]

Here's one example:



Oh, wait, you said you wanted an example of a Republican jamming the phone lines of a Democrat? Sorry, my bad.

You have a record of a conviction in that case to show us, right? If not, it is just wasted bandwidth.

There was a GOP operative who did jail time for jamming a Dem phone bank. Rachel Maddow interviewed him in relation to the arrest of the pimp and his slime trail. I'll try to get you a url or details.

At any rate, the fact that people were complaining about not being able to call Landrieu's office is in no way exculpatory. I can't e4ven imagine a judge allowing him to say anything about it. It is irrelevant to his crime. He had no excuse to be in the building. There was nothing he could do about the phones without committing a felony.

 

[carlitos]

So no evidence, and plenty of invective. lefty, you sure don't disappoint!
