Democrat Alderman's Home Vandalized; Campaign Lawn Sign Wrecked
— LauraW

Homegrown RightWing Terrorists Attack Political Enemies

Darnell Goldson, a Democrat Alderman representing the West Rock section of New Haven, CT, was letting his daughter out to the school bus stop when he noticed his house had been pelted with eggs and one of his lawn signs had been violently dry-humped and left for dead.

It was a campaign sign for Republican candidate Linda McMahon.

According to some insidey local scuttlebutt (read: a local rumor unverified by me, so buyer beware), a few weeks ago, this fellow was asked by New Haven Mayor DeStefano to not come out publicly in support of McMahon, but he did it anyway.

What does it mean to be a black Democrat in New Haven and Connecticut?
What I concluded is that in New Haven, it means being ignored by the Democratic nominee for Senate. It means that as a demographic that robotically votes for the Democrat, you will be ignored because, well, who else are you going to vote for?
So, the answer to the question as to why I am voting for the Republican is simple. It was many years ago I learned how to think for myself, and not let labels define who I am, or how I think. Yes, I registered as a Democrat at the tender age of 18, and yes, I generally vote for the Democratic candidate, but not always. I reject the notion of group-think; I like the American idea of individuality and freedom.
I no longer mindlessly vote for the label, but instead for the person I believe will best serve the community and issues that are important to me.

How refreshing.

Thanks to Wiserbud.

1 Rumor is if you put some voltage on those signs, they are less likely to be dry humped.... a 2nd time.

5 What I concluded is that in New Haven, it means being ignored by the Democratic nominee for Senate.

Of course, I ignored him. He's black, ergo his vote is already mine. Why should I have to actually associate with him?

Wait, he's NOT going to vote for me?

Hold on, I need to initiate an investigation. BRB

6 Dems demand the rights of all blacks, latinos, and oppressed peoples everywhere to vote for the dems.

This should be considered a Hate Crime.

I hate Hate Crime laws, but this is a good opportunity to shove Hate Crimes right back up the left's asses.

10 No worries. We're appointing Jon Cena and Randy Orton as the alderman's personal bodyguards.

11 Gee, I didn't hear about this on Channels 3, 8, 30, or 61 in Connecticut on tonight's news.

12 There's nothing the left hates more than a black dude who doesn't behave in the stereotypical manner that they demand.

13 I reject the notion of group-think; I like the American idea of individuality and freedom. I no longer mindlessly vote for the label, but instead for the person I believe will best serve the community and issues that are important to me. This guy rocks. But I fear for his live in a great liberal state like CT. Liberals don't like it when the help thinks for themselves.

With the occasional exception of a black woman who doesn't behave in the stereotypical manner that they demand.

19 The day this election is over we need to switch to a 24/7 switch to find someone competent for Maine.

fluffernutter, I heard Coakley has begun her negative attacks on Jim.

Have you heard any of her crap, yet?

Nope; according to my insidey person, the story was ignored/ spiked.

22 Must be eye-opening for this alderman to see the hatred of his fellow democrats directed at him.

A world without Coakley is a world I want to live in. Allyson Schwartz (PA-13) should be retired, too. We already have one Nancy Pelosi.

25 Have you heard any of her crap, yet? Not yet. I don't watch much live TV outside of football. I did get to one of her personal appearances, though. One of us supporting McKenna had an old Scott Brown sign.

This is just like the ending of Forbidden Planet, as the invisible monster melts its way through the Krel steel doors.

Adams: You still refuse to face the truth.

Morbius: What truth?

Adams: Morbius, that thing out there. It's you.

27 Can you imagine the media coverage if this had happened in Alabama? Wall to wall. Shep Smith squawling. The works.

28 Â“This stuff is insane. It seems as though people are losing their minds,Â” Goldson said. Â“You would think that I gave the blueprints to a nuclear bomb to Iran or something.Â”

No, Mr. Goldson. If you gave the blueprints to a nuclear bomb to Iran, the Left-Os would make love to you in effigy.

29 She so deserved to be taken out. Not defeating her after her epic fuck up in January would be a real embarrassment, even for the MA GOP. MA GOP didn't even put up a candidate. McKenna through his hat in the ring at the end of July, too late to get on the primary ballot. He ran a successful sticker campaign, getting 27,711 write in votes. 10,000 was enough to get him on the November ballot.

Posted by: fluffy, masshole at October 12, 2010 03:40 PM (SwkdU)

30 That's just...sad. Not unlike the Mass GOP. But enough of that crap. I don't care if we are charging uphill, fix bayonets!

31 violently dryhumping political lawn signs is a class one felony. "Do the sign & u gonna do the time."

32 ...and so Darnell Goldson is tonight's "Worst Person in the World."

33 I've been saying for a couple weeks now that this election has the potential to destroy the Democratic party's electoral chances for the next generation.

Not because of the Tea Party tsunami, although that part of it. What's going to put the bone to the Democrats is that a lot of blacks are starting to take a look at the Republicans.

If ten or fifteen percent of Blacks make the jump away from the Dems it's a long-term apocalypse for their party, especially when we get to an election cycle when there's not a black man at the top of their ticket.

....one of his lawn signs had been violently dry-humped and left for dead.

That's why we all love LauraW so much - the way that she can use words to paint such vivid tableaux. Bravo, dear lady - you are indeed a master beyond compare!

Now all we need is an Ewok picture to complete the scene.....

35 Of COURSE it isn't being covered. Sheesh.

Democrats engaging in vandalism and thuggery, especially associated with elections, is a "dog bites man" story.

The fact that the victim is swarthily-complected means that your average reporter's head would explode if they reported this.

It means that as a demographic that robotically votes for the Democrat, you will be ignored because, well, who else are you going to vote for?

Yeah, I was reminded of that by the Ben(n)et(t) commercials here in Colorado. (Disclosure: I'm still registered to vote in my home state, which isn't Colorado, so I can't vote in this one. And I don't care enough about Ben%et%, Democratic Obama knob-slobber, to spell his name right.)

Ben*et*'s ads are basically about how skeery Buck is. Which isn't a surprise. What is amusing me is, how when Be.ne.t talks about Buck "sending jobs overseas" (which Buck won't do, but who cares, Ben'e't is rolling), he shows some white dude in a hard-hat.

Moral: B-N-T is supporting the Average God-Fearing White Working American, no realliz! He is!

Posted by: Zimriel at October 12, 2010 05:55 PM (94eYr)

40 Corollary of the moral in #43: here's b.n.t's message if you're black - "hey, the President is black, go appeal to him; don't come out in public for me and scare the voters".

Posted by: Zimriel at October 12, 2010 05:58 PM (94eYr)

41 Thank you, Mr. Goldson, for your courage.

I hope some day someone writes the true history of the midterms of 2010. It's a turning point for our nation. Hopefully the good guys will win.
