2009'S HOBBIT-SIZED ELECTION DAY

Mild Wackiness Breaking Out In NY-23

Doug Hoffman's entire platformWe all know that the ACORN organization — which has nothing better to do — is actively trying to steal the NY-23 special election from God’s candidate, Doug Hoffman, and give it to a randomly selected black aborted fetus on welfare, so it should come as no surprise that certain “local Democratic officials” (ACORN thugs) are calling the cops on Hoffman supporters outside polling locations for all sorts of ginned-up charges, as part of its ACORN Fear Campaign.

Here is the plastic ACORN clone-bot in question, “June O’Neill,” a former state Democratic chairwoman, smearing the honorable Hoffmaniacs with her ACORN poop:

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.”

“This is not the way we roll in the North Country.” Ha ha, shutup, June O’Neill.

The local board of elections claims the police were called for standard electioneering-within-100-feet of polling locations tomfoolery. It is true, however, that an electioneer in violation was something akin to a batshit Texas-ish crazy wingnut lady screaming abortion psychobabble at voters and refusing to leave.

And we all know what ACORN thugs do to people who refuse to leave. They… hmm… continue having nothing to do with it at all because they don’t give a shit about the NY-23 special election.

    People from Texas don’t leave. They just ride into the sunset.

  2. Officer I’m just exer-ma-cising my free speech. (You get what you pay for.)

  3. Jim89048 says at 5:03 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    From the comments:

    NYGOLDSTER:
    I live in St. Lawrence and my car had a Doug Hoffman bumper sticker. Last night it was vandalized with the windows smashed and the tires slashed. This morning there was a dead cat on my lawn with a note saying on it, this is what we do to Hoffman supporters.

    This person, “NYGOLDSTER”, is lying. Just a hunch.

  4. It is really not that hard to just stand 100 feet from the polling place! I’ve done this!

  5. Formerly Known as KevoTron says at 5:04 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    It’s a strange day when you have Texas wingnuts standing in solidarity with upstate New Yorkers. It’s too bad the Cowboys aren’t playing the Patriots this week.

  6. give us a bob says at 5:05 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    Is a Texas Commissioner similar to a Kentucky Colonel in terms of imaginary authority? Because, if it’s imaginary, you can have it anywhere!

  7. TedTheLightBulbSalesman says at 5:05 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    I haven’t been paying attention so pardon my ignorance, but why do we give a damn how some worthless district in northern New York State votes? Are people really going to point to the result and say, “See, Obamamania is wearing off/is still running wild”? Because that would be dumb.

  8. SayItWithWookies says at 5:06 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    chascates: They keep promising to leave, but they never do (cf. Rick Perry & secession).

  9. ManchuCandidate says at 5:06 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    There’s a crazy bitch from Texas
    That I am going to see
    All the teabaggers knows her
    Not ACORNS, only me.
    She cried so when they taxed her
    It simply broke her heart
    And if I ever find her
    I hope to kick Texas out.

    She’s the palest shade of white
    This teabagger ever knew
    Her eyes are crazy as Bachmann’s
    They’re fueled with Red Bull.
    You may talk about your dear Barry
    And sing of Healthcare
    But the crazy bitch from Texas
    Browbeats the voters of NY-23.

  10. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 5:09 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    Jim89048: Odds are it was a white cat, you betcha.

  11. PrairiePossum says at 5:09 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    “We all know what ACORN thugs do to people who refuse to leave.”

    Carve backward Bs into their pale, flabby flesh.

  12. mollymcguire says at 5:10 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    Jim89048: NYGoldster forgot to mention the backward “B” carved into his cheek.

  13. Jim89048: Was this before or after a deranged Owens “gangbanger” carved an O on NYGOLDSTER’S face? We need all the facts!

    The dead cat is a wonderfully nutso touch.

  14. AnnieGetYourFun says at 5:12 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    Jim89048: Wow, that is precious.

    TedTheLightBulbSalesman: Yes.

  15. PrairiePossum: mollymcguire: Sweet Ashley Todd. Her legend lives on.

  16. chascates says at 5:13 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: And he’s leading Hutchison by double-digits. Today the genius said:

    Perry called proposals to let states “opt out” of a government-run health insurance system a “classic Washington bait and switch.” He says Texans would have to pay for the program whether it joined or not.

    Texas has the largest number of uninsured I believe.

  17. blinky_twinkie says at 5:15 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    Cart her shit off to jail, and let her protest from inside a crazy-cell.

  18. WeHaveNun says at 5:19 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    Cicada: Was it a backwards “O”?

  19. magic titty says at 5:19 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    blinky_twinkie: You don’t know very much about freedoms, do you? There’s no jail for freedoms.

  20. hobospacejunkie says at 5:20 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    Hoffman is this century’s Admiral Stockdale: “Who am I? What am I doing here?”

  21. WeHaveNun: No, a backwards “H”.

  22. hobospacejunkie says at 5:24 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    chascates: Wingtards seem unable to distinguish between govt-run health care & free govt-run health care. Mary “The Slobbering Whore” Landrieu, also.

  23. iantenna says at 5:28 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    well if you’re rolling in the north country fair
    where the winds hit heavy on the polling line
    remember me to one who lives there
    scuzzlebutt was once a true love of mine

  24. I haven’t been paying much attention to Doug Hoffman race, mostly because I’m sick of media’s nonstop barking about how imkportant this race is, but after seeing his platform, by God, I don’t care if he’s an inexperienced wingnut!

  25. blinky_twinkie says at 5:35 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    magic titty: But there *is* jailz & mandatory gay abortions for electioneering w/in 100 feet of a polling place, so drag her shit off.

  26. hobospacejunkie says at 5:40 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    Mustang: Nothing like pledging one’s “sacred honor,” whatever the fuck that is. I think it means Hoffman is an ass clown of the highest order, & sacred honor = hoffman santorum.

  27. Darkness says at 5:42 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    Jim89048: Someone should demand pictures. That way this loon will have to smash their own car. That in itself would be priceless.

  28. Mr Blifil says at 5:42 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    Shit, I just realized…I’M THE COMMISSIONER.

  29. comicbookguy says at 5:51 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    Today, we are all teh commissioner of dead cats.

  30. mollymcguire says at 5:52 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    iantenna: +2 for the Dylan/ Cash reference

  31. Perhaps we can learn more about this “overzealous electioneering” through “enhanced interrogation.”

  32. Barry White Zombie says at 5:59 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    Darkness: That totally happened at a college next door to mine, a few years after I graduated. And ho! Wikipedia remembers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerri_Dunn

  33. Darkness says at 5:59 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    Nate Silver Even with those assumptions, however, Owens would be about a 4:1 underdog.

    It’s democracy and NY-23 will get exactly what they deserve. They want Glenn Beck’s acolyte, they can have him. As to Hoffman, he can live in Georgetown rather than Watertown 364 days of the year. Somehow I can’t imagine he’d have taken the job if he actually had to move to the district.

  34. Guppy06: I’m with you, Guppy-Dog! You bring the meathooks and I’ll bring the truck battery…

  35. Humpback says at 6:01 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    I can’t decide whether I want this Hoffman guy to go down in a stunning upset now, to repudiate the tea-baggers. Or let him win, so the Republics think that this is the winning strategy for 2010, and then watch them all catch fire, fall over, and sink into the swamp.

  36. couchbound says at 6:02 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    hobospacejunkie: or else it means that honor killings would be justified in the event of infraction of any of the 21 values/principles. He did mention that he is a theocrat.

  37. Darkness says at 6:04 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    Barry White Zombie: Yup, martyrdom is a drug.

  38. Barry White Zombie says at 6:08 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    Barry White Zombie: What I referred to is that some crazy professor, trying to rally the campus against racism etc., smashed the windows on her own car and spray painted swastikas and such all over it.

  39. Mustang: At first, I read the link as “dough offman” instead of “doug hoffman” and wondered, WTF?

  40. glamourdammerung says at 6:36 pm, November 3rd, 2009
  41. The BigotBasher says at 8:02 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    I wonder if any Hoffman supporters will have back to front Bs slashed into them with lipstick?

  42. The BigotBasher says at 8:07 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    Humpback: If the new Republican answer to the Hoff wins (which in a district votes two to one Republican he should do) the tug of the far right to the GOP becomes irresistible. No matter what happens in NY23 - Steele loses.

  43. Hunger Tallest Palin says at 8:15 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    O noes! Outside agitators!

    The brown ones.

    Not the people we shipped in from Texas.

    Shut up you racists!

    Marlowe: Me too. Now he has to win. I will not be deprived of good snark, damn it!

  44. That “June O’Neill” sounds like the kind of Commie Bitoch that would deny fetuses the right to buy a Desert Eagle .50 cal. at a gunshow without having to suffer through a background check.

    Just sayin’ . . . .

  45. Anton Troianovski of the Wall Street Journal followed up with the Plattsburgh police on this, and was told that the volunteer actually damaged his tire on a broken bottle. I asked Hoffman campaign manager Dan Tripp about this–he said he had no comment because the campaign had not heard this yet.

  46. Son of the Prairie says at 9:36 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    Rick Perry refused to commute that cat’s sentence. Sorry.

  47. Jim89048 says at 9:39 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    glamourdammerung: But–dead cat!!!1!

  48. That woman would be Linda Greystoke, Commissioner of Texas, appointed by Rick Perry to monitor all elections that occur outside of Texas, until secession, at which point she is to take her cell underground.

  49. obfuscator says at 11:15 pm, November 3rd, 2009

    jim, thanks for using my old teabaggage photo. seeing it was the highlight of my day. that is sad.

  50. Tundra Grifter says at 11:26 am, November 4th, 2009

    Jim89048: Sounds like an irate woman to me.
