They Are At War

Yes they are. Who? The Democrats. And who are they at war with? Each other. Nothing new there you say? Well it has nearly come to blows this time.

Election volunteers trailed former Dallas City Council member Sandra Crenshaw, who was serving as a precinct chairwoman, through Oak Cliff late Tuesday. They allege that she sent away hundreds of angry convention-goers and told them she was taking sign-in documents favoring Barack Obama home to "correct them."

Ms. Crenshaw, who supports Hillary Rodham Clinton, paints a different picture – of a mob of Obama supporters from other states who were so unruly that she had to seek refuge at a police substation.

"We had people fainting, people crying. It was just totally chaotic and dangerous," said Ms. Crenshaw, who said the hundreds of first-time convention attendees refused to follow the rules. "I've been the precinct chair 22 years, and most of those people I'd never seen in my life. We're reviewing security surveillance cameras at the rec center to support my side of things."
Barack seems to have read up on how Lenin took over Russia. John Reed wrote a book about it. Ten Days That Shook The World. I wonder if that was on his reading list when he was studying with his communist mentor Frank Marshall Davis?
Ms. Crenshaw said the threat of violence prompted her to flee the scene. She said Obama supporters tried to drag her out the door, then attempted to follow her home.

But Obama voters at the caucus say Ms. Crenshaw ducked out of the door and hopped into a friend's car, sign-in sheets in hand, shouting that she was going to Denny's. Instead, she led them to a local police substation, where police said she banged on the windows and shouted, "I'm being chased!"

Inside the station, police confiscated the sign-in documents and called the Dallas County Democratic Party chairwoman, raising the possibility of voter fraud.
I'd say they were just getting warmed up for the general election.
Ms. Crenshaw said the investigation will show that Obama supporters from outside Texas tried to hijack the process and that voters were duped. Despite the drama, she said, "this is one time in my life I am still proud to be a Texan."

"Everybody gets to participate in the process," she said.
Of course they do. In Chicago they go Texas one better. Even dead people get to participate.

...at war and needing to raise money! After reading this post, I had to share this link to a new Clinton-Obama parody video. McCain bloggers like you will love it!
