Milwaukee Dem tire slashers get jail time

On election day morning, November 2, 2004, Milwaukee Republicans discovered slashed tires on the vans they had rented for that days get-out-the-vote drive.

Coincidence? No!

From AP, hat tip to Michelle Malkin:

Four Democratic presidential campaign workers were sentenced to jail time ranging from four months to six months Wednesday for puncturing the tires of Republican vehicles on Election Day 2004.

The men had pleaded no contest in January to misdemeanor property damage. A fifth worker was found not guilty.

Those who pleaded no contest were Sowande A. Omokunde, the son of Democratic U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Milwaukee; Michael Pratt, the son of former acting Milwaukee Mayor Marvin Pratt; and Lewis Caldwell and Lavelle Mohammad, both from Milwaukee.

They originally were charged with felony property damage but accepted plea deals on the lesser charge.

Malkin of course is the author of the book, Unhinged: Exposing Liberals Gone Wild, , which documents cases like these about the peace-loving Democrats going overboard in pursuit of their goals. Winning elections would achieve that end, of course, something the Democratic Party has been having trouble achieving lately.

If you missed it, here is a post of mine from last night that fits the theme, Convicted vote thief joined by top local Dems at his pre-prison going away party. Michelle Malkin was not one of the guests.
