The Ann Coulter Voter Fraud case, which we’ve been covering for more than a year (see our Special Coverage Page here, including her fraudulent Voter Registration Form, the complaint that started it all, and much more) has taken several bizarre twists this morning as Palm Beach Post columnist Jose Lambiet once again steps up with several fresh scoops in the matter, and The BRAD BLOG, who, as of today’s article, has now become a corollary in the story, has an exclusive detail or two of our own to offer on the heels of this morning’s Post report.

First, Lambiet reports that the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office, which had been investigating the matter, has closed the case after an FBI agent interceded on Coulter’s behalf. The PBSO had been investigating Coulter’s fraudulent, knowing use of the wrong address on her voter registration form, a third-degree felony, and the fact that she subsequently, knowingly voted at the wrong precinct.

Second, the reason offered by the FBI man for Coulter’s use of a phony address on her form — actually that of her Palm Beach County real estate agent — was because of claims that she was being “stalked” by a conservative BRAD BLOG guest blogger!

After the FBI intercession, as Lambiet reports, the PBSO investigator shut down the probe “without interviewing Coulter; a Realtor, whose Indian Road address Coulter used [on her fraudulent voter registration form]; or neighbors of Coulter’s Seabreeze homestead.”

The BRAD BLOG has previously shown that, in fact, Coulter had knowingly lied on her voter registration form, signing next to an “oath” swearing that “All information on this form is true” and that she understood “if it is not true, I can be convicted of a felony of the third degree and fined up to $5,000 and/or imprisoned for up to five years.”

Once the issue was reported originally by Lambiet, Coulter went about lying about it to the media and at public appearances, claiming she didn’t even live in Florida, as Michelle Pilecki, who picked up on Lambiet’s item today, had previously reported at Huffington Post. Nonetheless, property records and other evidence we’ve published at The BRAD BLOG, including an affidavit from Republican poll worker James Whited, show conclusively that Coulter lied on her voter registration form, and then knowingly committed voter fraud when she voted at the wrong precinct in 2006.

“We stand by our detective’s work,” a PBSO spokesman told Lambiet in today’s report. “Based on the nature of the allegations, she did as much as she could.”

But this gets a lot more bizarre, so keep reading…

* * *

The BRAD BLOG spoke this morning with the “stalker” in question, as named by Lambiet, longtime Coulter critic, and founder of Citizens for Principled Conservatism, Dan Borchers, who tells us that “Ann Coulter used a false allegation as a ‘get out of jail free card'” on her voter fraud charges.

He also tells us something that Lambiet didn’t mention in his report: The FBI man in question, Supervisory Special Agent Jim Fitzgerald, was Coulter’s former boyfriend!

Lambiet, who spoke with Borchers for his piece, didn’t report that allegation, but hinted that something wasn’t adding up in Fitzgerald’s intercession in the matter. He wonders why an FBI profiler from the FBI Academy’s Behavioral Analysis Unit in Quantico, VA, “who went after the Unabomber [would] take time from his busy day to even think about a municipal election snafu?”

Fitzgerald wouldn’t reply to Lambiet, but he reports that after the Post contacted the bureau for comment on the matter, the FBI “immediately launched an internal review of the agent’s involvement.”

“We’re looking into it,” bureau spokeswoman Ann Todd said.

She declined to say whether Fitzgerald acted on his personal behalf or as an FBI agent or on someone else’s orders.

County Supervisor of Elections Arthur Anderson, meanwhile, decried what he called “FBI intrusion.”

“This doesn’t bode well in terms of the public’s impression that celebrities receive preferential treatment,” Anderson said. “I’m curious about how anyone can justify the FBI’s intrusion.”

Anderson and Lambiet aren’t the only ones dubious about the FBI’s intervention on behalf of Coulter or the excuse that a “stalker” led her to use her realtor’s address on her voter registration form….

Coulter also used the wrong address on her Florida driver’s license, also a third-degree felony, as well, as detailed by a City of Palm Beach Police Department report on the matter. The PBPD had originally been asked to investigate the matter by Anderson, and confirmed two apparent felonies as well as a first-degree misdemeanor, but declined to press charges, claiming the events occurred outside of their jurisdiction.

“Sounds like a load of bull to me,” legal expert Gregg P. Miller, a professor at Thomas Jefferson School of Law, told us. “If she were trying to avoid a stalker, she would not have purchased her house in her own name (she’d have used a trust or an LLC).”

Miller has been following the matter closely via our reports and says that the behavior of Coulter — who is an attorney herself and member of the New York bar — from a legal perspective is an embarrassment. “I teach legal ethics, and I believe that Ms. Coulter disgraces the legal profession with nearly everything she says.”

* * *

“Fitzgerald was Ann Coulter’s boyfriend in 1998 and 1999,” Borchers told The BRAD BLOG, “And since then, she has used him as her personal FBI resource for her own purposes.”…

Borchers was contacted in 1998 by the FBI and had a “five minute interview with them” shortly after he says he began handing out fliers in the DC area titled “WANTED: The Truth About Ann Coulter,” seeking tips on the rightwing celebrity. Feeling she has betrayed the Conservative movement with her anti-Conservative behavior, rhetoric, and tactics, Borchers has long been collecting information for a biography of Coulter. He has created several short videos outlining what he sees as her hypocritical use of Christianity and a her persistent use of hate-speech and death-threats in her books, columns, and personal appearances.

“There were never any charges filed, and I never heard from the FBI again,” Borchers told us. He says he has additional information pinpointing Fitzgerald as Coulter’s boyfriend at the time.

In October of 1998, the Washington Post media critic, Howard Kurtz interviewed Coulter in conjunction with the release of her book, High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton. Kurtz reported that “Coulter seems to flit from one relationship to the next,” describing her recent breakup with Bob Guccione, Jr., the son of the Penthouse magazine publisher. “Now she’s involved with an FBI agent,” he reported.

Additional evidence obtained by The BRAD BLOG, indicates that Coulter’s Florida voter fraud charges may not be the first time her man at the FBI may have interceded on her behalf…

* * *

Borchers has guest blogged for us on a number of occassions, detailing Coulter’s hypocrisy, hate-speech, and long history of “elimination rhetoric.” He also covered the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) for us in 2006 (His coverage of CPAC ’06: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3) He was also a registered guest at this year’s CPAC convention, but was thrown out by Coulter’s bodyguards, prompting him to file a criminal assault complaint which may also have been interceded in by Fitzgerald, as indicated by a letter sent to Borchers with his refund for the event.

Coulter has, for years, been CPAC’s keynote speaker and star attraction, frequently closing the three day event with her address. This year, she infamously described John Edwards as a “faggot” during her appearance. Her address was not included in CPAC’s video collection of “The Best of CPAC 2007,” as we recently reported.

The assault complaint was filed by Borchers with the DC Metropolitan Police after he was hustled out of the event, where he claims that “Coulter’s goons” assaulted him, as well as both physically and verbally threatened him.

After Borchers’s complaint was filed, Detective Kathy Jackson of the DC Metropolitan Police presented an affidavit in support of an arrest warrant for Coulter’s two bodyguards to Assistant U.S. Attorney, Anita Larue. One of the bodyguards was Floyd Resnick of New York Close Protection Services, who is a personal body guard for Coulter, and also in charge of security for the CPAC event. The name of the other is unknown, though Borchers has given photographs of the man to both us and the police.

Larue, however, told Jackson she had declined to issue an arrest warrant “because of insubstantial evidence that the alleged offense occurred,” according to Jackson’s April 16, 2007, email.

Apparently, according to Borchers, there were two physical incidents at CPAC that day, both of them caught on video tape. Yet CPAC gave a tape of the other incident to the police — the one which didn’t include Borchers.

“CPAC has refused to turn over the other tape, which of course I’m on, since I was at the center of the entire scuffle!” Borchers has also given us a photograph of the videographer he claims had recorded the entire event.

But Coulter’s FBI man Fitzgerald may have interceded in that event as well. After the event, Borcher was sent a letter by CPAC Director Lisa De Pasquale — who also happens to be Coulter’s publicist, according to Borchers — along with a refund to the event. The first CC listed on the letter is to “John Fitzgerald, Federal Bureau of Investigations,” followed by Resnick, and two employees from the Omni Shoreham Hotel where the event was held.

More details on the CPAC allegations were posted here. The complete letter from De Pasquale is posted at the bottom of this article.

Told you this was going to get even more bizarre. But hang on, the twists get even stranger and/or more ironic still…

Another BRAD BLOG guest blogger, Lydia Cornell, also comes in to play in this matter, given that she received a number a death threats, and visits to her home after Coulter herself had posted Cornell’s unlisted family phone number on her own, well-trafficked, website.

“Coulter claims she has a stalker in my friend Dan Borchers, a conservative Christian and one of the kindest, most moral people I know. Nothing could be further from the truth.” Cornell wrote to us via email this morning after we asked her for comment on the Post piece.

Cornell, a liberal Christian, had written an investigative piece for The BRAD BLOG in November of 2005 entitled “Death is Sexier Than Sex (to Ann Coulter).” The article followed up on a fundraiser appearance by Coulter for the Alachua Republican Party, where the rightwing idealogue had called for the repression of free speech — for Democrats — adding that she was “not a big fan of the First Amendment.”

“Who’s the real stalker?” Cornell asked.

“Ann Coulter posted my personal, unlisted home family phone number on the front page of her website and kept it up for an entire year. She launched her attack dogs on me with the cryptic admonition: ‘Death is sexier than Lydia Cornell…wait until I tell her about the death camps I have planned for liberals!’ As a result, I received death threats, people coming to my door, our trash cans were lit on fire…and my children had the wits scared out of them when they opened the door and caught someone in a skull cap going through our mail.”

Cornell, who now co-hosts a progressive radio program and was the former star of the 1980’s Ted Knight TV series Too Close for Comfort, had sent an email to Coulter asking for comment before her piece was filed at The BRAD BLOG. She made the mistake of including her phone number as a courtesy, which Coulter then posted on her website in retaliation after the article was published. She wrote about the incident here shortly after it had first occurred.

Borchers points out that “leaking the name of an incident person, as ‘a stalker’ is just unconscionable.”

“As far as I know, there is no investigation against me, as no charges have ever been filed, and I haven’t heard from the FBI since that five minute interview nearly ten years ago.”

“And even if there were an ongoing investigation, the FBI is not supposed to release names of those being investigated,” Borchers said. “I’m an innocent person here, and he leaked my name here, with this charge…it’s unbelievable.”

Lambiet reports that PB County Election Supervisor Anderson is reviewing the PBSO report before deciding whether or not to bring Coulter’s voter fraud charges to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Previously, Lambiet had reported that the Florida State Prosecutor had declined to take the case, perhaps feeling burned, as the columnist posited, on the Rush Limbaugh narcotics charges he had brought. Limbaugh lives in Palm Beach County as well.

See our special coverage page on Ann Coulter’s Voter Fraud for more details, and all of the twists and turns in this entire story. But keep in mind, as The BRAD BLOG has reported in perhaps hundreds of articles, thousands of phony charges of “voter fraud” — as distinct from Election Fraud — have been declared by Republicans for years with only a handful of them actually having any merit or evidence to them. Among the few that have been “successfully” prosecuted, several appear to be heartbreaking abuses of the justice system, as brought down on a few folks who didn’t know they weren’t allowed to either register or vote, as detailed in an excellent recent NYTimes piece by Ian Urbina. ProjectVote’s recent landmark report by Barnard professor Lorraine Minnite on “The Politics of Voter Fraud” [PDF] exposes the groundwork for the entire insipid scam. Indeed, those same unfounded GOP charges of “voter fraud” have been at the very heart of the entire, ongoing U.S. Attorney Purge saga.

And yet, here we have an actual, documented case of voter fraud, committed by one of the GOP’s top superstars, and so far, not a single charge has been brought against her.

While a man who has apparently been charged with nothing has been named in a mainstream media outlet, being described as a “stalker” by law enforcement officials.

We suspect this story will continue…

UPDATE: AP runs Ann Coulter’s wet dream come true…

UPDATE 11/14/07: Supervisor Anderson dubious of “stalker” claims, was never contacted by the PBSO about closed case. Fresh BRAD BLOG Exclusive now posted here…

Please help support The BRAD BLOG, because if we don’t help hold Coulter accountable, who will?!

  1. Watch this INN Report; Lenny Charles interviews Greg Palast, and INN exclusive, in his new reissue of “Armed Madhouse”, it has extra chapters with Rove’s emails that were missing, somehow Greg Palast got 500 of them accidentally sent to him.

    The emails say that Rove and his operatives were targetting for vote challenges: blacks, students, and troops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Watch 10 minutes into this………..

    http://www.innworldreport.net/video_launcher.php?2007-05-10n

  2. The FBI is being orchestrated like the Department of Just Us is … and Karl Rove can exert his influence over them too.

    The message is the same as the message wierd Al G. gave to the US Attorneys: “we work for the White House”.

    No wonder Rove is so smug, he has his own army of federal FBI agents and of prosecutors doing his bidding. Plus he can get his hands on any NSA information he needs so as to “be more persuasive”.

    Ann Coulter has the mouth and “mind” of a neoCon, so she can call up and ask for favors, since she is one of the “Us” implied in the name Department of Just Us.

  3. And what’s most disgusting about it is, that ignorant cunt (and those like her) will STILL shit on people making “honest mistakes” despite her intentionally engaging in illegal voting practices, then having “friends in high places” making the crime “go away”.. amazing.

    If this isn’t a perfect example of how Fascism works, nothing is.

  4. The gummit is getting to be a full-blown corrupt Us v Them thingy:

    I am contacting you in light of the document sent to me dated May 2, 2007, which was received May 7, 2007 indicating that an investigation has been opened up with regards to a trip I took to Cuba with a group of Americans that included some 9/11 heroes in March 2007 related to the filming of my next documentary, on the American Healthcare system. SiCKO, which will be seen in theaters this summer, will expose the health care industry’s greed and control over America’s political processes.

    (Michael Moore, emphasis added). Investigate those who seek to help the people, and let the crooks go seems to be the motto of the new Department of Just Us, which oversees the FBI, which got Coulter off scot free.

    And I bet Coulter wants Hilton to do 45 days in jail over a traffic ticket.

  5. Anybody sent this info to Keith Olberman? How ’bout Waxman and Conyers, since they’re investigating something that is related to FALSE voter fraud charges?

    Just curious….

    Too bad someone in Congress couldn’t have asked about this during Gonzales’ testimony. Not that it would matter..but it would have been nice for it to have been tossed out there as part of the official record.

  6. If it were me I would have to turn that agent in for being gay. I mean who the hell would have a relationship with that guy named Coulter?

  7. Borchers info on Coulter and Fitzgerald is accurate. They were an item at least six+ years ago and have remained close since then. He has been to her Florida homes as a guest.

  8. There better be a full investigation of this, it explains why Ann Coulter has been out of the news, and laying low on this voter fraud subject, too. I was wondering why she hasn’t been running off her big mouth about this. IT’S BECAUSE IT WAS “FIXED” BY THE FBI!!!!!!!

    There better be a full investigation into the FBI about this, too. I’m sick of there being 2 sets of laws…one for ME/US, and one for the Ann Coulter’s and the powerful “johns” who aren’t getting their names released in the DC Madam case. There’s “johns”‘s names listed all the time in my local paper…but these powerful elitist politicians, Dick Cheney possibly being one of them, have a different set of laws than US!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  9. This is just great. At least one taxpayer funded FBI salary is being used for the partisan purposes of a pundit, and provides said pundit with insider information that the rest of us can’t have, information that I’m sure is used as book source material, and to get information for partisan purposes that shouldn’t be available to anybody, let alone ex’s.

    This agent should lose his job over this. He has clearly placed the interests of his ex-girlfriend over those of the job he was hired to do for the national security of U.S. citizens.

    And Coulter should be publicly hung out to dry, as she is using an agent for U.S. national security for her own money-driven purposes.

  10. someone had to try and close that bold.. 😀

    {Ed note: Thanks for trying, but it has to happen via the administration software these days. –99}

  11. This is the crux of the matter:

    Right, Brad. They’ve been so determined to prosecute voter fraud, and here, at long last, is an actual, bona fide, case of deliberate voter fraud. And they won’t prosecute.

    Now if Coulter had been a poor, black, enlisted female serving in Iraq, there would hve been no hesitation to prosecute, but I daresay that not a single member of our armed forces, black or white, male or female, is as contemptuous of democracy as Coulter.

  12. Dude, I have your back always… and everyone else on this board.

    Guilty. It’s over. They all have to go. I’d rather have green-skinned aliens running the govt. than these morons. Anything would be an improvement. Stay on your congressperson. We have the will and we are the way.

    PRESS ON NOW.

  13. You know that if a newly registered democratic person of color in New Mexico had been caught doing this, Rove would have been all over Gonzales who would have been all over Goodling who would have been all over Iglesias to throw the book at the poor sucker.

    What hypocrites.

  14. 99, I was pretty sure that my close-bold command worked since my text was normal while the 2 posts above mine were bold… *shrug* I didn’t do anything for the 2 errant posts, but it sure looked [to me] like I had it fixed 😀

    Wonder what the investigation into this FBI agent will reveal. We’ve seen speculation that he was “involved” with mAnn at one point.. wonder if that will pan out, and if the agent will get fired for abusing his post..

  15. I didn’t know excuses were allowed for voter fraud…like stalking. Then, can I break the law and have an excuse? This is ridiculous! Now, you can break the law, if you have an excuse? Is this true?

    How about this excuse for ANY crime: “I didn’t know this was against the law!” Do you get out of it, if you say that?

    And btw…is it legal to commit voter fraud, if you’re being stalked? I didn’t know that!!! That’s good to know!!! The next time I commit voter fraud, I’ll have that excuse in my back pocket! Thanks for the idea, Ann and your attorney who doesn’t know the law! Is that attorney another one of your boyfriends?

  16. Oh, yes! I just found it here in this law book! It says, “You may commit voter fraud, if you’re being stalked.” Yes, right here in black and white!

    And Dick Cheney is absolved from the Iraq War, because he thought there were WMD’s…

  17. Did anyone watch Hardball with Chris Matthews Friday?

    He had an Abramoff type report on the republican Governor (who quit congress to run) of Nevada being investigated for corruption.

    And evidently he has hired Abramoff’s attorney (Muckraker Link).

    It sounds like the Clint Curtis pattern. A software developer whistleblower testified to watching the ex-congressman (now governor) take BIG BUCKS in cash and gambling chips (convertable to cash) as bribes.

    And watched the gop governor take gift trips totalling big bucks. Paid for by a contractor to get war contracts with the military. Shades of Feeney.

    Every mob crook on the block has moved into military scams. We and our grandchildren will pay for this for decades.

  18. Someone asked if the FBI agent will get fired for abusing his post. Make me laugh. I bet he will get a promotion. The FBI is nothing more than a cover up agency for the country’s richest criminals. Let’s look back at the FBI’s handling of previous investigations. Take Robert Philip Hanssen for example. The worst spy the country has ever known and yet the FBI (ie. your tax dollars) still pay his wife his retirement and pension even though he is in prison for the rest of his life for selling secrets to the Russians for more than a decade. Then there is the Weehahawken 5 incident where the FBI could not get those Isreali spies home fast enough. Or the 1993 WTC bombing where the FBI provided not only the info on how to build the bomb but were also kind enough to provide the explosives. And my favorite is Special Agent Jim Page of the Raleigh NC FBI who after being informed that Otillie Lundgren and Cathy Nugyen (both now dead from Anthrax poisoning) had posted comments in a chat room at the same stated that it’s just a coincidence. Go ahead call him and ask. He still works there.

  19. Sorry that should say posted comments in the same chat room at the same time.

  20. Corrupt FBI officials, yet another infringement on our rights by the gov’t. Add it to the ever-growing list of violations:
    They violate the 1st Amendment by opening mail, caging demonstrators and banning books like “America Deceived” from Amazon.
    They violate the 2nd Amendment by confiscating guns during Katrina.
    They violate the 4th Amendment by conducting warrant-less wiretaps.
    They violate the 5th and 6th Amendment by suspending habeas corpus.
    They violate the 8th Amendment by torturing.
    They violate the entire Constitution by starting 2 illegal wars based on lies and on behalf of a foriegn gov’t.
    However, she is hot.
    Last link (unless Google Books caves to the gov’t and drops the title):
    America Deceived (book)

  21. How do we even know, for sure, that the agent was really her boyfriend? Who said that?

  22. Now we see why well known republicans like Rush Limbo can get away with serious drug charges…if he had been a poor black man the large amount of Oxy would have been turned into intent to distribute. A dictator who stole 2 elections isn’t going to change his colors over a little publicity. TBRNews.org is saying today Bush intends to send every National Guard we have to Iraq. Giant corporations don’t need US anymore. USDA thinking of importing chickens from China. FDA wants vitamins and herbs to be prescription only.Water in Co. being diverted from farmers to developed areas. Free market or water supplies being bought up by multi nationals. More money from water in individual homes. Meanwhile, the people in Co. have to import their food from say China. Melamine chickens.

  23. This Guy WAS an Important Agent — Now He’s Reduced to Coulter Boot-Licker

    I don’t think he has any idea what it’s cost him to become a national joke as a law enforcement figure. He could have written books that sold big. Now, he’s just a corrupt, “whipped,” Igor to the monster Coulter has become.

    He may even have jeopardized real cases — terrorism cases — by conspiring to obstruct justice, just to get back into Annie’s … uh, “good graces.”

    This is what happens when you fool around with toxic waste.

  24. These people like Ann Coulter are involved with things that are criminal. Like knowingly pushing lies to keep us mired in a stupid oil war. Why don’t you fuckheads stop fucking around and expose some of this “deep black” shit these people are involved with and put them in jail. There are conspiracies going on out there. Open your fucking eyes, see how nasty things really are and get these fuckers put in jail!

  25. If the DoJ wants to find intentional/wanton election fraud on a grand scale – look no further than Nathan Sproul head honcho of Sproul & Associates who was paid millions of dollars by the RNC/Bu$$hCo to game recent elections.

    He was paid millions to register voters by the Republican Party going coast to coast – but Sproul would tell his employees to trash the Democratic voter registration cards in the nearest dumpster rather than hand those cards in. On voting day the Democratic voters had properly registered but their names were not on the voter roles so their votes did not count.

    WHY IS THIS CRIMINAL NOT TOO BEING PROSECUTED FOR THIS ILLEGAL CONDUCT ?

    http://arizona.typepad.com/blog/2006/07/nathan_sprouls_.html

    RNC/Bu$$hCo paid Sproul millions to perpetrate election fraud,

    snip:

    The boldest effort to suppress the national Democratic vote involved the services of Nathan Sproul, an industrious young theocrat whose company, Sproul & Associates, was active in the swing states and elsewhere from September through Election Day, ostensibly to register new voters. That furtive enterprise- involving fraud, deception, copyright infringement, the systematic disenfranchisement of untold thousands of Democrats and Independents, and the secretive reregistration of still further thousands as Republicans without their full consent played a far larger role in Bush’s victory than anyone has thus far understood. For Sproul’s peculiar expertise, the Republican National Committee paid millions, and, moreover, paid his firm for two months past Election Day; and then the RNC apparently “revised” its numbers to convey the misimpression that the firm did far less work for Bush & Co. than it had actually performed.

    Nathan Sproul’s biography is pertinent here, as it will help illuminate the blend of zeal and avarice that largely drives Bush/Cheney’s juggernaut. Born and raised in Tempe, Arizona, and a graduate of Pillsbury Bible Baptist College (“[It] is the mission of Pillsbury Baptist Bible College to glorify God through a Christian higher education program which imparts a biblical worldview, preparing students for Christian ministries in and through local Baptist churches”),69 Sproul started his career in far-right politics as an intern in the office of Rep. Jon Kyl (RAZ), who was among the rightmost members of the House, with a 100 percent approval rating from the Christian Coalition, 0 percent from NARAL and warm relations with the nation’s defense contractors.70 Sproul was working in Kyl’s office when the congressman parlayed those assets into his successful senatorial bid in 1994, beating Democrat Sam Coppersmith by a substantial margin. After that campaign, Sproul was hired as Executive Director of the Arizona Christian Coalition, where he fought to stop sex education in the public schools. (“There’s no way you can do contraception education without saying we know you’re going to have sex,” he said in 1997, noting that he himself had not had sex until his marriage, in the summer of 1996.)71 While preaching abstinence to teens, Sproul was also surreptitiously exhorting fellow evangelicals to infiltrate the GOP. At the Christian Coalition’s 1995 “Road to Victory” Conference, Sproul urged attendees at the Arizona Caucus meeting to become precinct committee chairs in order to elect delegates to the 1996 Republican National Convention. He also warned his listeners not to mention, ever, that the Coalition was involved. Throughout that meeting, Coalition guards were posted at the door, prepared to throw out anyone unknown to Sproul himself. (This incident was noted in a 1998 Senate inquiry into crimes and improprieties pertaining to the 1996 elections.)72

  26. Hey Mr. FBI Dude –
    ‘Shes a man, baby’.
    With apologies to Stephanie Miller

  27. Absolutely sickening that this freak is going to skate on those voting fraud charges. I really hope Anderson has the guts to follow through, seeking federal charges if necessary. The lapDog fbi guy should be locked up for many things, including misuse of his office. Like a cop that runs plates to find info for friends,,, FIRED.

    Brad, love your work, your friends, and the updated site. Do not let up, ever.

  28. Signs on the downward spiral…

    Asd the republic continues to wane, this is an important milstone; the politicization of the organs of justice. The FBI, embedded in the Justice Department as it is, has been unable to reform itself since the Hoover era nor has it been able to establish itself as an automonous investigative body. Under Hoover, it was an extension of Hoover’s rectitudem, persecuting those who Hoover deemded enemies of the state. It serves the same function today to deal with the Bush enemies. After he bullied his way into office, GW was quick to saturate the Justice Department with evangelical jurists a la Robertson University law madrassa. The above blogger was correct in saying Rove and company have their private militia. Like the infamous Franz Guertner, Hitler’s Minister of Justice until 1941, the Ashfords and Gonzales and their pimps and thugs, have paved the way for a take-over that is well on its way.

    Want to read of real heroes and heroines? Read the story of Sophie School and the White Rose Movement in Munich, 1943.

  29. Di you recognize the rise of hoovers fbi and the organized criminal effort to outlaw intoxicating liquors? The side by side pseudo parasitical nature of the two make it in both of their interest to leave enough of the other to function properly.

    Hoovers comment while Bobby kennedy was AG, “there is no such ting as organized crime” spoke volumes as to how far embedded organized crime was in the top levels of the federal government. They needed each other, just ask g gordon liddy, he is psycho devoted to that criminal fbi to this day.

    But back to ann-the-mann, she better not skate on these serious charges, even while rove the darling doughboy of the gop was seeking prosecutions of voter frauds, they are handed one on a silver platter to go after and they don’t?!?

  30. 2 bad Man Coulter wasn’t having breakfast at Windows on The World Tuesday September 11, 2001. It would have been one bright spot in that dark day. This is what happens when gender reassignment goes bad – you get an angry, rabid, law-breaking, bigotted PIG.

  31. Brad

    Dan Bouchers seems to have started something. No less than redstate dot com is following his lead:

    One of the most prominent conservative blogs has started a crusade against Republicans who it says continue to promote ethically questionable congressmen and ignore the will of their base.

    “A group of men and women across this nation … are tired of defending a party that continually puts into positions of power known perverts, louts, and corrupt common criminals,” RedState.com editor Erick Erickson wrote in a post Monday outlining his “battle plan” against Republican leaders. “We must be willing to wage war upon them until they bend to common sense and decency.”

    (Raw Story on Red State, emphasis added). This is what I predicted and requested a long time ago in posts here. What remains to be seen is whether or not the Conservatives vs neoCons war will wake up the moderate republicans who thought they were in the decency party – but aren’t anymore.

  32. Actually, the GOP has “stalking agreements”. Everyone in the “stalking club”, including Ann Coulter, can say someone else in the club was stalking them, therefore: No Voter Fraud!

    Rumor has it, that Coulter and McHenry were “stalking buddies”…therefore they could both claim the other was stalking them…therefore: No Voter Fraud.

    Disclaimer: This is a joke…anything is believable with the GOP, so I have to disclaimer all future jokes. Jokes that actually come true, disclaimer revoked.
