DeLay Uses Website to Attack Prosecutor
DeLay Uses Website to Attack Prosecutor
By JOHN SOLOMON, Associated Press Writer

Saturday, October 15, 2005

(10-15) 00:22 PDT WASHINGTON, (AP) --

Stung by his recent indictment in Texas, Tom Delay is trying to turn his legal woes into a financial boon for his re-election. The former House majority leader is using his congressional campaign to distribute to voters derogatory information about the prosecutor who brought the charges against him and to solicit donations for his re-election.

"Help Tom fight back," reads one of the solicitations on the

Web site that voters are being directed to as part of an Internet-based campaign funded by DeLay's re-election committee.

Contributors, voters and others who sign up can get regular e-mails and an electronic "toolkit" from DeLay's campaign with the latest disparaging information his legal team has dug up on Texas prosecutor Ronnie Earle.

3. and an ad campaign iirc
this is beyond offensive. really, the man has no scruples. attack attack attack is ALL these asshats know. its like watching a kid on a playground. but i hope it'll only make him look even more guilty. a 'methinks thou dost protest too much' thing. and only the kool-aid drinkers are going to buy this crap. what astounds me is he's even considering running for re-election.

7. Isn't there something illegal about doing this? I mean this is
his official website for government work. He's being indicted for felonies but why are the tax payers paying to support his defense?

19. DeLay and Bush make no distinction between legal and illegal
Both are means to the end of consolidated power and attendant reward.

I'm not sure about this, but I think that sometime after September 11 and before the Khaki Election of 2002, both of them felt they were untouchable. I'm still wondering why they felt that way, but I'm pretty damned sure John Ashcroft had a lot to do with it.

8. For someone who is supposed to be so smart
Delay is sure acting like a stupid idiot.

I just hope he digs his own hole even deeper then it already is.

9. How DARE a Prosecutor find enough EVIDENCE to convince a Grand JURY...
to hand down indictments. :sarcasm:

With a trail coming down the pike I would have thought that a Judge would place a gag order on this thieving, lying, supercillious POS. Of course in De Lay's case one would have to gag two ends since he seems to talk so much out his backside.

He's the supreme cock of the universe, let there be no doubt.

13. DeLay Uses Website to Attack Prosecutor
WASHINGTON - Stung by his recent indictment in Texas, Tom Delay is trying to turn his legal woes into a financial boon for his re-election. The former House majority leader is using his congressional campaign to distribute to voters derogatory information about the prosecutor who brought the charges against him and to solicit donations for his re-election.

"Join thousands of conservatives across the country in the fight against liberal DA Ronnie Earle," recipients are told.

15. So, how long until Earle subpeonas documents relating to this PR blitz?
Delay: dumberer and dumberest....

I don't know about anyone else, but this doesn't necessarily sound too bright to me - much less entirely legal.

17. Oh, Tom, Tom .....
... Please, pretty please, just keep up this type of campaign and behaviour.

It's obvious that Prosecutors just love and have such high regard and respect for this type and manner of public debate and legal "strategy."

Multiple Indictments. And, now they're looking into a fucking Toyota purchase you made.

Just keep this up, Tom, and they'll work their way down to bringing that seven year old girl - whose milk money you extorted each day during second grade - before the next grand jury.

You fuckin' arrogant fool, Tom. Fuckin'. Arrogant. Fool.

... repeated from my post at AmeriBlog.

20. Apparently Tom Is Illiterate As Well
The last line on his little "Message from Tom" on his website reads:

"Thank you for visiting and I look forward to keeping you up to date on our fight this out of control DA."
