The Nashua Advocate: Voter Suppression in NH Trumps Anything in Wisconsin

[nashuaadvocate]

Here's one we happen to know a great deal about -- voter suppression in Nashua (our hometown) making national news.

And we're pretty angry about it, in case it's not clear from our coverage.

Find the article here.

An excerpt from the story is below.

(EDIT: I'd also like to recommend and encourage everyone to forward this article along -- or, at the very least, the "news" content therein -- to any Republican friends/acquaintances who won't stop talking about "Tiregate" over in Wisconsin. This, folks, is our answer to *that* absurd hype-fest {see The Advocate's coverage of "Tiregate" for more details and a lengthy justification for that seemingly flippant classification}).

BREAKING NEWS: TAKE THAT, WISCONSIN G.O.P. -- NEW HAMPSHIRE VOTER SUPPRESSION CASE LEADS TO CONVICTIONS AND INCARCERATION FOR G.O.P. CONSPIRATORS

By Advocate Staff

(Below please find the text of a memorandum currently sitting -- unsent -- on the desk of The Nashua Advocate's News Editor).

Memorandum to the Chair of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, Rick Graber, and the Executive Director of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, Rick Wiley, You Shameless Hypocrites

Last month, gentlemen, some chickens came home to roost.

The hype and spin which typified your public comments regarding "Tiregate" turned out to be little more than partisan bluster. What you originally described as a premeditated Kerry-Edwards effort to suppress G.O.P. voters on Election Day turned out to be nothing more than "Plan B" for a small group of hoodlums acting wholly independently from the Kerry-Edwards campaign.

Not only did the Kerry-Edwards campaign provide vital assistance to police investigation into the "scandal," it was also revealed -- through The Advocate's investigation, and no thanks to your countless deceitful "press releases" -- that "Plan A" for the young vandals was to "sticker" your party headquarters in Milwaukee -- and it was only a sudden, unplanned shift in their plans which led to the much-hyped tire-slashing of less than a quarter of the vans you rented (but did not own) on Election Day 2004.

2. Hoo-wee!

snip< Voter suppression in Nashua, right in our backyard?

Yes sir, and we have you two hypocrites-nee-deceivers to thank for making the news of Mr. Raymond's conviction as sweet (and we promise you it is sweet) as it presently is. >snip



Excellent job! Puts it right out there, in their face!

5. They should add Charlie Sykes to their list...

Milwaukee's own talk radio windbag. He also made a big deal about the false reports of republicans booing over Clinton's hospitalization. Charlie knows how to take nothing and make something scandalous out of it...scandalous for Democrats, that is.
