"National anti-abortion activist and Operation Rescue founder Randall Terry was one of 11 people arrested outside Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani's campaign office yesterday." [...]
"Yesterday morning, police officers told protesters they would be arrested if they did not move out of the way. Police say the protesters said they would not leave, so they were arrested.The police were called to the building by the property manager because the protesters were blocking the entrance to the building that is home to several businesses as well as Giuliani's campaign office. Campaign officials said they did not call police about the protesters.
According to a press release from Terry, the group came to New Hampshire to expose "the real Rudy."
"We will tear down the conservative facade that Rudy has built - to keep him from lying and seducing his way to the White House," Terry said in the press release. The release says the group of out-of-state activists will join with New Hampshire residents to target Giuliani's campaign offices in Manchester, Portsmouth and Concord through tomorrow."
Oh yeah... Karl Rove thought it was a grand idea to scrounge up a few more votes by cultivating the nut hatchery. All it took was shaking in a few pellets like conservative judicial appointments, late-term abortion legislation and the Terri Schiavo travesty and they swarmed to the surface of the electoral fishtank, voracious and demanding:
"Simply put, we want to bring out the wackos," DeLay aide Mike Scanlon wrote in an e-mail obtained by the Senate Indian Affairs Committee three years ago. "The wackos get their information from the Christian Right, Christian radio, the internet, and telephone trees." The idea was to bring out the wackos every two years, then work to placate them between elections."
Rove will soon be followed into the dustbin of history by his presidential creation, but the feeding frenzy goes on. Rudy appears to be next on the menu.
