Leftwing Washington, DC PAC takes aim at NC conservative judge candidates in smear effort | Eastern NC Now

dirty "guilt by associaiton" tactics

ENCNow

The far left does not want NC to elect conservative judges, and a leftwing political action committee in Washington, DC is putting in the dollars to try to stop the conservative judge candidates for the Court of Appeals.  They are sinking to a dirty smear campaign to try to elect leftwing Democrats instead.

The PAC doing the postcard advertising is something called the "State, Local Election Alliance" and it is housed in the Washington, DC office of the Jane Fonda Climate Action, They are right in there with Hanoi Jane.

The smear they run is a common one for Democrats this year, associating them with Harvey West.   West had one incident decades ago where he pled guilty to a sex offense with a minor, but has been a solid citizen, happily married, off the sex offender registry, for decades.

Here is the guilt by association.  For a number of years, the First Congressional District Republican Party, the NC Federation of Republican Men, and the AL-PAM Republican Club have co-sponsored a Down East Judicial Picnic.  Candidates running for judge attended.  The event was held in the expansive backyard of the West's rural home.  That seems to be enough for the Democrat smear machine to claim "ties to a pedophile".

There is another far left PAC that calls itself NC Families First which is running the same smear on conservative Supreme Court candidate Sarah Stevens.  Curiously, Families First is also the name of a conservative Australian political party, but this group in NC is the polar opposite of them.

These are both dark money PACs so who funds them cannot be traced.  This is dirty politics at its worst.

I remember that corruption story now involving certain members of the Washington Police Department. There were some other particulars involved as well.

I did not know Harvey at that time, and was heavily involved in siring and raising a young family of millennial children at that time, so busy in my own small world so as not to be caught up in the local news as I am now.

At that time in my life, I wanted to believe the best in people, and did not realize how mendacity breeds more mendacity, and ultimately certain corruption. Harvey's sad tale is one that corrupt fools, and other ignorant Democratic Socialists, like Corrupt Roy Cooper, so easily employ for those folks they have marked to have fear and be feasted upon.

Thanks for jogging the pieces of my memory that I had long forgotten. I reckon Harvey West will not forget the injustice he may have certainly endured.

That Harvey West case happened a long time ago. If memory serves it was in the late 1980s, perhaps the early 1990s. Several Washington police officers I talked to at the time told me the same thing about it off the record. It was a total setup, and West did not even physically touch the alleged victim.

What happened was the wife of a former police chief got caught at that time doing some of the same type things. In order to get her a sweatheart deal to testify in another case, the charges against West were made up out of thin air. West was indicted for a charge that would have sent him to prison for 20* years and given the alternative to plead to a lesser felony that would only involve a few years. He had to weigh the chances of the jury believing the allegations and the consequences, and elected not to take the risk. The police chief's wife got offered a misdemeanor and a probationary sentence.

There were other convenient reasons to make West the fall guy.

Corruption knows no party. Individuals should be judged on their actions, not because they exist as human beings. Glad to see you apply it to your friends. Try extending to others. It's the right thing to do.

The Harvey West Question: Yeah Big Bob, I would give Harvey a second chance, partly because he is a Republican, partly because I know him, partly because I know a little about his case.

Democratic Socialists are suspect because a huge part of their party exists on the largess of corruption. When I see corruption in so-called Republicans, I go real hard on them, and that is proved in my commitment, as I am one of limited number of honest /smart politicians here locally.

That is my record now, as it has always been to do so; I can't hide from it; I embrace it even to my political detriment with those that are corrupt, and still sadly in our midst.

The problem is the guilt by association. Candidates attend an event sponsored by two major GOP organizations and one minor one and it happens to be held in Harvey's back yard. That is the Democrats connection between Harvey and these judicial candidates and it is mighty thin.

While I appreciate the willingness to give Harvey a second chance, would you do it for a democrat if the situation was reversed.

The Republican Party needs to answer this Democrat smear on TV or it will hurt GOP candidates.
