Without their press offices at CBS, NBC, ABC and CNN being the only arbiters of the news Democrats find themselves having to explain, re-explain and spin in hopes of controlling the news. Spin, because they cannot come out and tell the truth that the antics of operatives in the field are planned and paid for, not the work of loose cannons. Oh, and not the work of "the other side."
'08 race worker held in damage to Colorado Democratic HQ
One of two people suspected of shattering 11 windows Tuesday morning at the state Democratic Party headquarters has an arrest record and a history of helping a Democratic political candidate, public records show.
Police said that about 2:20 a.m., 24-year-old Maurice Schwenkler, now in custody, and an at-large accomplice took a hammer to the picture windows displaying posters touting President Barack Obama and his health care reform efforts.
Early Tuesday, Democratic Party chairwoman Pat Waak said the damage to her building in Denver's art district was a consequence of "an effort on the other side to stir up hate." She tempered her statement after Schwenkler's political history was revealed.
"What I've been saying is there is a lot of rhetoric out there from both sides of the spectrum," Waak said. "That's what's been disturbing to me. People are saying a lot of things not appropriate for civil discourse."
Excuse me, I have to have my Brooks Brothers pressed.
