.....I guess they don't find the gunning down of liberals to be "intimidation tactics". :think:



from the American Family Association's OneNewsNow, where freaky fundies get their news:



Liberal intimidation tactic may be illegal
Jeff Johnson - OneNewsNow - 8/15/2008 8:15:00 AM

A public-interest law firm wants the Department of Justice to investigate a new liberal political group that is allegedly threatening donors to conservative advocacy organizations.

The official-looking document comes on the letterhead of "Accountable America" and begins with the large, ominous word "WARNING" in all capital letters. The document goes on to promise public exposure and criminal investigations of those who financially support conservative political action committees, even though their anonymity is protected by federal law.

Tom Fitton, president of the public-interest law firm Judicial Watch, says intimidating voters or political donors is illegal. Fitton says his group believes the letter may violate a key, federal civil rights law, popularly known as the "Ku Klux Klan Act," that was passed in the 1870s.

"(That law) essentially prohibits anyone from conspiring to intimidate any citizen who is lawfully entitled to participate in our elections from working to support or advocate anyone who is running for federal office," he explains. "And we believe these letters are designed to intimidate those who may want to participate in this year's election or support conservative groups otherwise."

According to a New York Times interview with Accountable America leader Tom Matzzie -- one of the individuals behind the liberal MoveOn.org -- Accountable America is planning to "confront donors to conservative groups, hoping to create a chilling effect that will dry up contributions." Fitton says such intimidation is illegal, and he wants the Department of Justice to investigate.

"I think the DOJ needs to take enforcement action now," the Judicial Watch leader says. "I mean, this letter to me is enough to begin a federal civil rights investigation into this (group)." ..........(more)

4. Seriously.

[Bob Dobbs]

5. They haven't SEEN intimidation yet.

After years of their lying, intimidating, stealing, TREASON they deserve intimidation with extreme prejudice.

Hey, fascists, shut the hell up, we're not going to take it any more.

[redqueen]

6. Project much?

[Rocknrule]

7. Uh, they're the ones who MURDER people for daring to have any differing viewpoints

At least now we know why conservatives want unlimited access to guns. So they can act on Savage's marching orders and massacre everyone who isn't exactly like them.

[JohnWxy]

8. I guess the voter intimidation done by the fascists in 2000 and 2004 doesn't matter.

[Cheap_Trick]

9. I have an ass cheek those whiny little fucks can kiss.

Two, actually.

[Supersedeas]

10. Mukasey probably has a task force for this already--Goodling recruited enough to man an army

of liberal selective prosecutions.

[treestar]

11. To threaten criminal prosecution, isn't it necessary to have

control of the government?

Projection at its finest.

[romulusnr]

12. nice try, too bad our media are too lazy to look anything up

but the act he refers to has fuck all to do with political contributions, and even if it did, it is limited to uses of force, or of denying civil rights (e.g. voting), not exposing your filthy laundry.

The Con game is at it again!

[Edweird]

13. Projection. They apparently don't get tired of it.

How they can keep a straight face is a mystery tho.
