That is me being charitable. Because the alternative is that Maurice Schwenkler is an idiot whose idiocy is only matched by the Democratic idiots who sent him out to bust his own side’s window:
A 24-year-old arrested this morning on suspicion of smashing 11 windows at Colorado Democratic Party headquarters tried to conceal his identity while allegedly committing the crime, according to police descriptions.
[snip]
While [Maurice] Schwenkler does not appear in the state’s voter registration database, a person by that name in November 2008 received $500 from a political 527 committee called Colorado Citizens Coalition for “communications,” according to campaign finance disclosures.
[snip]
A Maurice Schwenkler also signed an online 2005 petition to free anti-war Christian protesters who were captured in Iraq.
More details here, here, and most assuredly here (the phrase “connected to ultra-liberal groups once investigated by the FBI for potential domestic terrorism incidents” features prominently) [and now here and here]: this Rootswire screenshot of the Colorado Citizens Coalition will also prove amusing. Which leads to the next question: what does State Democratic Party Chairwoman Pat Waak know about this? She familiar with Schwenkler at all? Or the guy that’s still at large?
At any rate, I think that it’s time that extremist fringe supporters of health care rationing stop using violence to accomplish their goals. It’s not going to derail the democratic process, and it’s bad for the country in general.

Waak dropped "hate" fast enough.
johnt Wednesday, August 26th at 10:46AM EST (link)She could at least use “dislike” but probably was tongue tied when she was deprived of the major functional word of the liberal dictionary. An agent provocateur, probably and not for the first time.
Waak and the other morons never counted on this freak being caught.
With a bit of luck this could have been front page,”Right Wing Terrorism” kind of thing. Instead it drops down the memory hole, but there will be others, Hate is too important to liberals to give up and getting caught in a lie is something they’re used to.
