Forum Post: Republican Party disenfranchises Libertarian primary delegates -- Louisiana with violence, June 5th

Disenfranchising Libertarian Primary Delegates. Violence. Louisiana. "Paul nutters." "Teabags."

The GOP has become a neo-fascist organization with consistent rejection of local voting laws. Proportional representation from GOP primaries is the latest feature of democracy that the party has rejected.

We can find a bit humor in this. The Libertarians want to see less authoritarian policies at the federal level. They want open, honest governance. Hooking up with racist, militarist, bank-sucking thugs ??? That's a laugher from the start.

So now they are getting hammered. The tactics recall National Socialist street fighting from the 1920s. That peaked with 3,000,000 German males signed up for NSDAP and the Sturmabteilung. Here's Louisiana on June 5th:

-- Shreveport police with hired assistance were used to beat and arrest the lawfully chosen delegates backing Ron Paul.

-- A Romney supporter named Villere got to the microphone at the state convention and then had an prearranged police action invoked to forcibly remove the Libertarians.

-- Villere claims to have put through a "rules change" that goes against Louisiana state law to deny proportional representation

-- Violence extended to severe injuries. A dislocated hip was the worst of it, inflicted on an elderly Paul supporter, Henry Herford Jr.

-- It is clear that all of the men acting as "police" were not uniformed officers. Video of the event shows attacks on elected delegates by individuals wearing "Security" outfits.

Welcome to modern fist-fight fascism.

Louisiana law specifies registration of party election rules prior to Election Day. The changes demanded in by Romney supporters in Louisiana are clearly illegal. There's not even a pretense that these exclusions are allowed under state law, particularly after the primary vote.

You lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas.

Here, the Libertarians and Tea Party guys are finding that for professional Republicans they are nothing but False Front vote scams. They have no input to power inside the GOP. The elected GOPers and the pros call them "paul nutters" and "teabags."

Here in Louisiana, the Libertarians are waking up with those dogs' teeth in their butts.

Similar actions are under way in 30 states. And from there it is clear that the national convention is not going to seat the bulk of Ron Paul delegates, either. You will see only a handful of them -- like the 68 Blacks who got to attend the Minneapolis shindig in 2008.

Why do Libertarians grab soap for career fascists ??? Hell if I know.
