Clinton Voter Supression Effort?

So, the Nevada state teacher's association is suing in a move to disenfranchise members of the culinary union that recently endorsed Obama.

LAS VEGAS — Nevada’s state teachers union and six Las Vegas area residents filed a lawsuit late Friday that could make it harder for many members of the state’s huge hotel workers union to vote in the hotly contested Jan. 19 Democratic caucus in Nevada.

And:

This could be seen as a dirty trick by the Hillary campaign to try to nullify the endorsement of the 60,000-member Culinary Workers Union Local 226 which endorsed Sen. Obama. After all although the Nevada State Education Association has said it would not endorse any Democrat, many of its top officials have endorsed Sen. Clinton.

And here I thought Democrats wanted everyone to vote, other than military members voting absentee, of course.

Hey, lets all just get used to this kind of garbage, since she will soon be ruling over all of us with the same iron fist.

Pathetic.

They want every vote to count as long as it can be for the RIGHT people.

Right, of course, to be determined by whatever the current meme is.

This isn't, unfortunately, surprising. It looks like they're starting to eat their own.

I heard that Clintoon is doing push polling in NV saying that Obama has black kids.

Wait a minute, Obama DOES have black kids!! Scratch that.

what did you expect? These are the same people that believe in America the right to a secret ballot should be eliminated (HR 800 and S 1041). They are even more brazen than Stalin who let people vote for whatever apparatachik they wanted to as long as his henchmen counted the ballots.

Instead of browbeating the Congress to eliminate secret balloting, the Dems and their running dogs next step will be to disenfranchise those who don't agree with them. Makes sense, just eliminating the middleman.

I can't wait for the hints that the hotel workers are all illegal immigrants. After all, if the Clintonistas had any shame, they'd be supporting someone else.

Dan, there's an article on the suit at the LV Sun today with some reader comments afterwards revealing who these plaintiffs suing presumably on behalf of the NSEA teachers' union really are: they're actually executive members of the Clark County Democratic Central Committee and therefore also members of the Nevada State Democratic State Central Committee. Vicki Burkland referred to in the NYT article you linked to is Second Vice-Chair and Dwayne Chestnut is Third Vice Chair of the CCCC which puts them on the NSDP SCC, which in turn means that the Nevada State Democratic Party State Central Committee which instituted the new caucus sites for casino workers is suing itself because the Culinary Workers Union local in LV endorsed Obama instead of Mrs. Clinton. In other words, now that (oops)what they did no longer helps Hillary, they want a mulligan,lol! I can't understand why the national media is ignoring this story - it's a hoot!

What? Dirty tricks on the part of the Clintons?

Go on; how can that be?

Sheesh.

[Lee]

This is the legacy of Saul Alinsky. Not to worry though, Obama is in that same lineage. You will see dirty tricks from his side soon enough. They are all dirty street fighters.

Ah Blue on Blue fighting, let the blood flow freely. Let them eat themselves in an orgy of selfhate and loathing that we all have come to know and love about Democrats and libs. Has anyone been following the constant flow of racist remarks from Hitlery's campaign staff. The lib policy of racial politics is coming back to bite them on the ass and it is fun to watch them squirm and twist in the wind. My fondest hope is that Hitlery really does pull of the gloves and the fight finally wakes up the black community to the fact that the Dem. party is just using them.

"They are all dirty street fighters."

A supporter of the party of Rove and Delay calling someone a street fighter??? Oh, the irony.

Oh this is just precious!

The next time the teachers' union asks for a raise, they're going to wonder about the lack of support from other unioons and their constiuents.
