Rightwing Criminal Protection Bill Based on Meth Addict Sob Story

by: Matt Singer

Wed Mar 28, 2007 at 17:50:04 PM MDT


It turns out that the entire crazy rightwing criminal protection bill that inspired the death porn from the Montana GOP was pitched to the Montana House on a misleading third-hand story.

Sweet. And entirely unshocking.

Republican County Attorney Dennis Paxinos apparently had to set the story straight that the "innocent" woman nearly arrested for carrying a firearm was actually high on meth and threatening a maintenance worker.

By the way -- if you're pissed off about those mailers the GOP issued, you can donate to the Democrats targeted by the pieces. Doug Cordier, JP Pomnichowski, and Julie French represent swing districts. That's why they were targeted. Donate to their campaigns -- make sure that the GOP isn't rewarded for using bullshit mail pieces over half-baked issues defending meth addicts.

I HAVE A DREAM! (0.00 / 0)
Well, not actually a dream.  More like a vision.  I envision a Democratic mailer similar to the Repubbie mailer which showed a "dead" girl, hands clasped in a praying position. (she's probably praying that no one  recognizes her in that asinine mailer!)  The mailer I envision is that of a bewildered looking meth addict holding a HUGE large caliber recently fired handgun in a recoil position  with a wisp of smoke coming out of the barrel.  She appears dazed, confused, bewildered, with a rotted-tooth grin.  In the foreground is an innocent repairman lying on the  ground with a big hole in his chest and blood gushing all over the place, his tools at his side.  And standing on either side of the meth addict with their arms around her shoulders are general mikey lange and gary morebut, each of them smiling a wide, satisfied smile, saying in unison, "good shot"!  Like it?  Me too!

Scary Repubs (0.00 / 0)
Larry,
Tin foil hat time. Ever notice that whenever the Repubs are conducting a war there is suddenly some sort of crisis level drug outbreak decimating the poor. Now it's the meth epidemic crushing the rural areas. During Iran Contra, when Reagan was flying coke into the US, it was crack obliterating the inner city. It destroys families. Of course, they are the party of "family values." Vietnam war had the heroin pipeline from the Golden Triangle. I wonder if Bush is turning a blind eye to the meth pouring into the US from Mexico in exchange for something. We'll find out eventually, I guess. Some intrepid reporters need to look into it. This seems to be Repub S.O.P. to help fund their dirty illegal wars.

I get a kick outta......... (0.00 / 0)
the meth project started here in Montana.  That gazillionaire, tommy siebel (outta state californeeyeah transplant) moves to Montana, buys a HUGE ranch, spends couple'a million to fund a "meth project" (probably all tax deductible anyways I'm sure), and then, like a good  gazillionaire, BAILS ON THE PROJECT!  What a piece of....work THIS bozo is!  I mean, if a fella's a gazillionaire, how friggin' much sweat of HIS cojones is it really  to continue to fund the project?!!  What a turd of a man.  I think ol' tommy just  wants his name in the papers a lot for a future run at some Repubbie political office.  The man appears to be a joke to me.  Maybe I'm wrong.  Maybe it really WOULD handicap a gazillionaire to provide a million or two to fund that program.  But I wouldn't know.  I'm not a gazillionaire!

Damn.... (0.00 / 0)
two of a kind that wouldn't even beat an ace.  Dexter teaming up with the Ranger. Nuff said....
