Why Won’t Democrats Answer Questions About Kentucky Eavesdropping Scandal?

Posted on Comments

The minute I mentioned the scandal involving Progress Kentucky’s secret recording of Mitch McConnell, the lady on the phone at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee said, “I’ll put you through to his voicemail” — meaning DSCC spokesman Justin Barasky, who didn’t return my call. Gee, I wonder why?

The question of connections between Progress Kentucky and Democrat officials is not merely a matter of public relations, but also a matter of federal campaign law, which regulates “coordination” between political campaigns and outside groups. . . .
A Kentucky Democrat said Thursday that the Progress Kentucky activists bragged to him about their secret recording of McConnell. Did anyone at DSCC have knowledge of Progress Kentucky’s recording prior to its publication by David Corn at Mother Jones? McConnell has asked the FBI to investigate the recording, and it is not yet known whether potential violations of federal campaign law are part of that investigation.

You can read the whole thing at Viral Read. I’m not the only reporter getting the runaround from Democrats on this story. Dan Riehl asks: “What Did Brad Woodhouse Know and when did he know it?”

Yeah, as soon as their “progressive” pals get caught in shenanigans, Democrats do their Sergeant Schultz act: “I know nuzzink!”

  2. Discus is rather mysterious. Why can’t they be more straightforward? It acts too much like the Democrats.

  4. If you want to have some fun, do a search on “conservative” outlets and how many times they’ve done stories on Gosnell prior to this week. Apparently, the “liberal” outlets that you hate with every fibre of your being have failed to engage in the conservative activism that you incomprehensibly demand of them. Odd, isn’t it?

  5. It’s a murder trial, you idiot. The people who covered OJ, Susan Smith, and Casey Anthony 24/7 can’t mention Gosnell the baby beheader, even though the first three killed fewer all together than Gosnell’s initial charges. He was at it over 20 years, staying too busy to clean the rooms.

  8. Lawbreaking certainly qualifies as “News.” Avoiding coverage or burying it in the back pages is “activism.” Which, evidently you demand of them.

  12. Maybe because the GOP is desperate, having lost so many elections, and presenting ideas to which most of the country recoils, so we must endure yet another distraction from the complete failure of the GOP to govern, particularly in the Senate?

    McConnell makes a terrible victim. And this non-story is not going to generate the votes the GOP absolutely must have to ever win meaningfully again.

  13. If the country recoils from what the GOP posits, then the country is insane, and the GOP is just engaging in a rear guard action. Frankly, I think the GOP has given up, but it won’t get them the votes they need to win. They will simply fade away as the Whigs did, while the country goes to hell.

    Understand, no country that has lacked virtue has become anything other than a failed state. That is where the US is headed. It is already under God’s judgment, and morons like Obama, the Dimocrats and establicans are just the beginning of sorrows.
