In a big case in Wisconsin the thugs related to Democrat politicians who slashed tires on vans rented by the Republican Party on election day 2004 have begun their day in court.

Sowande Omokunde, son of Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.), Michael Pratt, son of former acting Milwaukee mayor Marvin Pratt, also a Democrat, Justin Howell, Lewis Caldwell, and Lavelle Mohammed were all charged with felonies in the tire slashing incident designed to prevent the Republican Party from getting voters to the polls.

The defendants, all of whom were paid workers for Sen. John Kerry’s campaign, are accused of flattening the tires at about 3:30 a.m. the morning of the election.

Normally with such a big event and being covered by Court TV you would think the media would be all over this. And they would be if the tables were turned and it was the Republican Party that was on trial. But the leftist media are trying to protect their buddies in the radical and now violent Democrat Party.

Honest and decent Democrats need to start looking elsewhere for their political affiliations. It’s sad that the Democrat Party has been taken over by such extremists moving toward the violent. Have they now embraced the terrorist tactics of those they seem to support? Is the rhetoric and behavior of national Democrat leaders translating into violent action? It’s hard not to conclude that words mean things and send messages. The media’s silence is sending a very loud message.
