Neal Rauhauser Uses @CatsRImportant to Spread His Evil Lies as ‘Hard Candy’

Posted on | October 20, 2013 | 99 Comments

Neal Rauhauser at Netroots Nation 2010.

“The Mexican Mafia sought and received payments from gangs in Orange County in exchange for freely committing crimes . . . Those who refused were put on lists that often resulted in violent retribution.
“Even those who appeared to have significant roles in the gang found themselves in trouble. One defendant, Raul Gonzalez-Hernandez, was placed on a ‘hard candy‘ list, which meant he was targeted for death.”
— Associated Press, Sept. 25, 2013

“Throughout October [2011], Anonymous waged a war against online child pornography under the name of OpDarkNet. The crusade pinned the hacktivists against the web servers and users of sites such as Lolita City and Hard Candy, where patrons trade graphic images of sexually exploited children.”
— Russia Today, Nov. 3, 2011

Brett Kimberlin’s war against conservative New Media — the federal lawsuit Kimberlin v. the Universe, et al. — would be impossible without the assistance of Neal Rauhauser, the disgraced Democrat campaign consultant whose “Weiner Truther” obsession with the 2011 Anthony Weiner scandal added new stains to his infamous reputation even before Rauhauser became Kimberlin’s self-described “associate.”

During last year’s controversy about Brett Kimberlin, I tried with little success to get people to focus on Rauhauser’s connection to Kimberlin, which was what originally interested me in Kimberlin’s story. Alas, Obama’s history with Bill Ayers had made the “progressive bomber” meme so irresistible to most conservatives that trying to get them to understand Rauhauser’s newsworthy role was difficult.

Another problem: Neal Rauhauser is incredibly weird. If you try to describe him, most people will look at you like you’re crazy.

“Facts don’t matter, that’s the perception of the situation, and the world is going to act on that basis.”
— Neal Rauhhauser, (“Gaped Crusader”), Nov. 26, 2011

What does it say about Rauhauser that, when he created a fake “persona” to cyberstalk Patrick “Patterico” Frey, he chose the “Gaped Crusader,” which is also the title of a porn movie about anal sex?

And while you’re letting that little clue sink in, take just a minute to ask yourself this: Where, how and why did Rauhauser develop his bizarre penchant for online secrecy, deception and impersonation?

There is no need to suggest any specific answer to such a question, when Rauhauser himself has offered us quite an obvious clue.

A week ago, Melissa Brewer abandoned her @catsrimportant Twitter account after victims of her harassment exposed Brewer’s 2006 prostitution conviction, which involved a 19-year-old sex offender who was arrested and charged with being her pimp. This was newsworthy because Brewer had been involved in the “Stop Rush” boycott against Rush Limbaugh, had put out a “hit list” against conservative bloggers including Sister Toldjah and Darleen Click and, in June 2012, had encouraged deranged cyberstalker Bill Schmalfeldt’s harassment of Kimberlin target Aaron Walker.

Brewer quit her Twitter account, and Neal Rauhauser evidently took it over, using it to smear, harass and threaten various of his enemies, including the defendants in Kimberlin’s lawsuits. Not only was the name of the account changed, but also the avatar and the profile art:

“Hard candy”? Isn’t that interesting? It’s prison slang for murder, especially used by Mexican gangs to describe an inmate targeted for death by stabbing with a shank, i.e., an improvised knife. Isn’t it interesting, as I say, that Neal Rauhauser chose the name “hard candy,” a term that would be very familiar to his own targeted enemy, Patrick “Patterico” Frey, whose day job involves prosecuting gangsters.

We could interpret “hard candy” as Rauhauser’s implied threat toward Frey, but the phrase also has other perverse connotations:

Oh, my, Neal. Oh, my, my.

Remember: Melissa Brewer says she is a sexual abuse survivor, yet Neal Rauhauser has taken over her Twitter account and renamed it “Hard Candy,” with associations of gang murder and child pornography. And why? To attack and threaten his personal enemies.

Rauhauser is Brett Kimberlin’s associate, and another Kimberlin associate, Craig Richard Gillette, was convicted of child pornography.

Probably just a coincidence, huh?

Maybe you should ask @catsrimportant about “hard candy.”

And let’s not forget that The Daily Kos kicked Bill Schmalfeldt out for his offensive anal rape “satire.”

These guys and @Osborneink are the same ones who harass the Stranahans for taking erotic art photos of ADULTS years ago, and make lewd and disgusting comments about Ali’s sex life and his genitalia. Very “progressive” of them.

Let me summarize:
Possessing child porn conviction = irrelevant
Bombing, perjury, drug dealing conviction = irrelevant
Legal photography of consenting adults = THE DEVIL’S WORK!

Just as I hit publish on this comment, Matt Osborne said the following about Lee Stranahan:

“Matt Osborne

I hope ya’ll are screencapping this.

And here we have Osborne’s support for his previous comment:

“Matt Osborne
?@OsborneInk@antvq16 Yeah, there’s no “offer of prostitution” in a two-hour private meeting with prints.”

That’s it? Wow. I have two professional photographers in my family, and they charge as much or more as the Stranahan’s did for photo sessions. They also charge for travel time if the site is more than 30 minutes away from their studios, and they charge for assistants. I will have to tell them that they may be engaged in prostitution. One of them is pushing 70, so this will come as an enormous surprise.

So now Matt Osborne is committing libel per se? Well, if everyone is doing it, then can I officially say that Matt Osborne is a necrophiliac? Cause I know that he has NEVER disproven that he’s had sex with corpses. And frankly, I would like someone to ask him about the child corpses.

I think we need to start asking questions and calling federal agencies. I’m just saying…

BS and NR seem to fancy themselves ladies’ men. Although it can be hard to tell what with the homoerotic imagery, particularly Schmalfeldt’s predilection for “hairless nut sacks.”

I always wonder how dark the secrets these bad guys share might be that a few of them stick together so long for fear of those secrets being exposed in internet drama fashion. I’ve assumed that some of them share some extremely nasty secrets. What would have to be at stake for someone to loyal to most of these psychos? This post was sadly informative.

This Osborne tool has it out bad for Stranahan. So much so he is willing to publically defend Gillette and child porn in order to continue slamming Lee every other tweet.

He, too, has deemed himself arbiter over all that is newsworthy. Funny how the news he deems unworthy and “old” has connections directly to Brett Kimberlin.

And, great. Now I’ve got bunny droppings all over my timeline and interactions. This Osborne dude is wound up tight and angry, angry, angry.

In a passive-aggressive way. Schmalfeldt is rabid. And stupid. But, then, his life is a testament to both traits.
