Police called in to NY-23 polling stations because of voter intimidation by teabaggers!
By John Amato
The teabaggers are turning to threats and intimidation out there in NY-23 land.

Elizabeth Benjamin writes in the NY Daily News:

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."'

O'Neill also said she had received anecdotal reports of problems at polling sites in Gouverneur, which is Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava's hometown. But she couldn't immediately confirm this.

I called over to the St. Lawrence Board of Elections and got GOP Elections Commissioner Debbie Pahler on the line. She confirmed that the police indeed had been called, but she downplayed the incident, saying it's "a routine procedure here in the county."

"We had electioneering within the 100-foot polling marker," Phaler said. "It's my understanding that they were asked to leave and wouldn't leave."

"If people are electioneering within the marker and don't stop when we ask them to, our inspectors are instructed to call law enforcement to assist them. I don't think anybody was arrested."

O'Neill also said she had received anecdotal reports of problems at polling sites in Gouverneur, which is Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava's hometown. But she couldn't immediately confirm this.

The Glenn Beck crowd are out there yelling anti-choice crap. They will bring the same anger and hatred they brought to the town halls that they disrupted. This is going to put a lot of stress on local police forces.

This is just the beginning. Gee, I wonder if Fox News will cover this voter intimidation and try to make a national story out of it. OK, I was joking. I hope the local media up in NY-23 get plenty of video of this. If any of our readers has video, please email us: crooksandliars-at-gmail.com

  1. Nikki, these people are wrong and evil. They are attempting to force their unpopular minority opinion on everyone.

  2. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED AFTER DRAKE CUPPED JOE BEDNARSKY'S BALLS:


    Bednarsky grabbed Drake by the neck, lifted him off the ground and said:

    "The best place for you right now is the hell out of my mother fucking sight you god damn mother fucking faggot"!

    then he let Drake down and let him saunter away.


    SINCERELY,
    COLD BUTTER

  3. We didn't hear a peep from you when black panther party members were intimidating voters during the Presidential election.

    Nuff said.

    BTW- I don't believe this report for one minute.

  5. I doubt this is true, but if it is, it is tame by ACORN standards.

  6. Hey, Cindy:

    Who are "these people" you are talking about? Could you be a little bit more specific?

  10. Sounds like this report is a pile of bullshit. I sure am surprised that they can't even find one radical group of right wingers to do something. Surely there are some somewhere.

    But those radical libs pop themselves out of the woodwork everywhere, black panther Democrat intimidation with weapons, leftists getting crazy and biting the finger off old people and running, then the media blaming it on Republicans and having to take it back when proven to be false, etc.

    Hey, there, the teabaggers did it, No! It was the Glenn Beck fans, wait I think it is people who listen to Rush Limbaugh. LOL

    I hear desperation calling.

  11. Well, since Nikki is using unsubstantiated election stories here is one that is is probably more credible:

    Democrats using known gangbangers to "canvas" neighborhoods
