Hillary's campaign bribed Bill Richardson's supporters in Iowa!

[antiimperialist]

New York Times' Maureen Dowd has claimed that Hillary Clinton's camp bribed Bill Richardson's supporters in order to get their support. This should be throughly investigated by an independent elections commission.

From Dowd's January 6th column:

The Hillary forces at the Plymouth Church caucus in Des Moines weren’t averse to bribes.

They were passing out See’s chocolates to Richardson supporters.

Reports from Dowd also indicate that Clinton's campaign officers were threatening opposing likely voters. Here's one incident:

And they weren’t averse to threats. “My wife told me I’d have to join them or I’d be sleeping on the couch tonight,” said Ed Truslow, a compact 68-year-old manufacturing representative. He was still wearing his Chris Dodd sticker when he lumbered over to his wife’s side. A Clinton organizer slapped a Hillary sticker over the offending Dodd sticker, and with a frantic cheeriness told him: “Hillary now, right? God bless!”

These are very, very serious allegations.

3. The sticker incident alone is assualt

And depending on on hard the slap was, could be interpreted as a terrorist act.

17. My response to the sticker incident probably would be assault

Let's hope nobody ever attempts to put a Hillary sticker on me, so we don't have to find out.

At my caucus each of the campaigns (except Kucinich) had brought goodies to share. What's the issue?

Hillary has a full bag of dirty tricks.

In order to make you hate Dowd even more.
One DU'er already called her an idiot. It's working, :-)

[LostinVA]

21. OMG! You got me, too!

[LostinVA]

20. Read their other spammy thraeds -- they are!!!

[SteppingRazor]

10. No!

I mean, I thought so, until I read that these were not just "serious allegations" or even "very serious allegations," but "very, very serious allegations." After that, I thought it just had to be a joke.

Only problem now..... who has the Jessica Alba cloning machine??

15. Another sexist stereotype, "Women love See's Candies"

Let's lay that one to rest. Men and women love it. Where do I contact the Clinton campaign for my box?

[sampsonblk]

24. OK so that would get her about two votes...

What about the rest?
