It seems that the Blogger excitable Chucky and his friends over at Little Green Screwballs are promoting a false story that was reported and then updated by the New York Daily News.
The initial story said:
It’s getting ugly out there.
I just got off the phone with former state Democratic Chairwoman June O’Neill, who informed me the police had been called to at least two polling sites in St. Lawrence County due to overzealous electioneering (O’Neill called it “voter intimidation”) by Doug Hoffman supporters.
“We’ve gotten reports that people are standing there, covered with Hoffman stickers and yelling anti-choice stuff at voters,” said O’Neill, a St. Lawrence native who has been running the party’s GOTV effort for Bill Owens in NY-23.
“Apparently, there’s some woman claiming to be a commissioner,” O’Neill continued. “Commissioner of what, I don’t know. She’s from Texas, I think, and she won’t leave.”
“This is not the way we roll in the North Country.”
However, if you read the update you will see that things were a bit overblown and that it was a intimidation tactic by Owens supporters:
UPDATE: Joy Yearout, spokeswoman for the Susan B. Anthony List, a pro-life group that has endorsed Hoffman and is providing some 200 volunteers for him today, called in to provide “some additional information.”
Yearout said SBL has people working polling sites at 100 precincts in the 23rd for Hoffman. They’re handing out sample ballots so voters know where to find his name – remember, he’s on the Conservative line, which is Row D.
“At least three of our volunteers have been threatened with police when they’re not doing anything wrong,” Yearout said. “They haven’t seen any Democrats. No one for Owens.”
“So, apparently, the poll workers who are Owens supporters are doing the only thing they can do: Intimidate. And they’re doing that by calling the police. Nobody’s been arrested because nobody’s doing anything wrong.”
So much for that story, eh Chucky? So typical…. When a liberal knows that he is losing an election; they do they do best —- Which is lie and distort. It is no wonder that no one reads the lame blog any longer.
Love the White House tilting left image. 🙂
Dude, I swear on my dead grandmother’s grave. That was the way I found it. I did not edit that photo. 😀
Wait a minute! 😯 That’s not a pic of the White House! 😆 That’s Capital Hill! But just the same, I didn’t edit it. 😛
