DU: 'firebombing' of RNC HQ in NC. Focus on Dallas Woodhouse. He's a Rove with a LOT to hide.

He's the one who crafted the memo sent to County Board of Elections for reps to shamelessly ACT partisan.

For 'everything' inside to be burned, my very first thought was Dallas Woodhouse is covering something up to save his own ass and his own party here. "Leave Town Or Else" Really? Does that sound like something a Democratic activist or even a lefty anarchist would spray paint?

NC, as of today was getting out of reach for Republicans. This act smells more like desperation to me. There is absolutely NO reason to believe this firebombing came from Democrats - NONE.

There is plenty of reason to suspect it's a desperate dirty trick from Woodhouse who was about to oversee the loss of a Governor's seat, a US Senate seat, and a State Supreme Court.

He and Pat McCrory are already jumping up and down with indignation, calling it terrorism and an attack on democracy itself.

We need to nail this sucker because NC controls whether we take charge of the Senate. No way would a major campaign office NOT have security video running 24/7. We HAVE to stay on top of Dallas Woodhouse.

1. Timing, too. Report on hate, discrimination in EVERY county in NC was in yesterday's paper

http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/special-reports/permission-to-hate/article107784247.html

I am NOT a 'coincidence' theorist.

[blm]

2. RNC claiming there were completed absentee ballots burned. HUH?

.

[LisaL]

3. What were these ballots doing there to begin with?

Ballots aren't supposed to be send to RNC HQ.

[Cosmocat]

11. Right

Nm

[Zoonart]

28. ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!

There is ZERO chance of absentee ballots or any other ballots being in a field office. Absentee ballots are sent into and handled by the County Board of Election at the County Court House Building , wherever that may be in relation to any field office in the country. I know this because I used to work for the CBOE in New Jersey.

So... not only is that bullshit... it is ignorant bullshit and no anyone who has ever worked an election would know that.

So... claiming there were ballots in the office is a YUGE signal to me that this is a false flag intended to whip up a base ignorant of how ballots are actually collected and counted. It is also symptomatic of the lazy and complicit media, who almost certainly know better.

[blm]

37. What if they 'volunteered' somewhere like a nursing home and held back Dem voting ballots?

Who would know? Perhaps they destroyed them and are using this 'firebombing' as part of their coverup.

[still_one]

29. The RNC has no business collecting absentee ballots

[blm]

33. Dallas Woodhouse deserves jailtime for his stewardship of NCGOP.

There isn't an honorable person in the entire leadership.

[brush]

31. "Reichstag fire" parallels abound. It won't work though. I didn't know Hitler, thank God, but . . .

Trump is no Hitler.

[blm]

35. Dallas Woodhouse IS a Rove wannabe, though.

.

[brush]

40. Rove? Who is Rove? Woodhouse wants to be the next Turd Blossom?

He should do some research on Rove who is now shunned in repug circles.

He could start with Rove's meltdown on FOX on election night 2012 to see what happens to people like that.

Karma is a bitch.

Rove didn't go to jail like he should have for outting Valerie Plame, among other things, but he is now a persona non grata non-person in repug insider circles for the $117M he sucked up from big donors and then squandered while guaranteeing a Romney victory.

Rove is as much toast as Trump and Woodhouse will be in 22 days.

[blm]

42. heheh….

.

[Laffy Kat]

4. Democrats do not have to firebomb the GOP.

The Repubs. are doing a good job of destroying the party from within all by themselves.

[blm]

5. Smells desperate, doesn't it?

And typical.

[Nevernose]

6. The ATF is investigating

Surely if anyone can come up with a suspect, it's them. Hopefully before the election.

[blm]

7. Maybe this is what Roger Stone is hinting at in his cryptic post

Last edited Sun Oct 16, 2016, 08:35 PM - Edit history (1)

that his non-disclosure contract was 'invalid'.

[itsrobert]

30. Insurance fraud is my guess.

Look for it.

[blm]

32. Like the guy who spray painted BLM on the truck he burned for insurance money.

.

[Nevernose]

38. That was my guess

Except insurance won't pay out if it was arson. I'm not normally a conspiracist, but I've seen Republicans fake attacks too many times not to at least be open to the possibility.

[itsrobert]

41. This person says different

http://carrieareynolds.com/so-when-is-arson-covered-under-a-homeowners-policy/

[Nevernose]

43. Maybe it varies by state

A friend of mine (in Nevada) had his apartment burn down. The fire was started by a meth lab two doors down.

He had insurance, but because the fire resulted from the commission of a felony, the insurance company didn't have to pay out. It didn't matter who started the fire or even where it was started.

[blm]

8. This is BIG, DU. We cannot be lax on this story. Focus on Dallas Woodhouse

and keep his name out there on social media pages.

[Cha]

12. Thank you, blm!

[blm]

20. Cha!

; )

[Cha]

21. Kick!

[KittyWampus]

13. There should be security camera footage from some buildings in area.

[blm]

17. If there isn't I think we will know why.

14. Dallas wanted to suppress voter turnout in the November election.

He sent directives to all of the GOP members of local boards of elections urging them to “make party line changes in early voting.”

“The N.C. Republican Party encouraged GOP appointees to county elections boards to ‘make party line changes to early voting’ by limiting the number of hours and keeping polling sites closed on Sundays.

NCGOP executive director Dallas Woodhouse emailed the request to Republican county board members and other party members on Sunday. The News & Observer obtained copies of the emails through a public records request.

County elections boards are developing new early voting schedules in response to a federal court ruling that threw out the state’s voter ID law. In addition to revoking North Carolina’s photo ID requirement, the ruling requires counties to offer 17 days of early voting….

Woodhouse suggests limiting early voting hours because the sites allow voters to use same-day registration – a practice the voter ID law sought to eliminate.

‘We believe same-day registration is ripe with voter fraud, or the opportunity to commit it,’ he wrote. ‘Same-day registration is only available during early voting. We are under no obligation to offer more opportunities for voter fraud.’

15. Early voting is making them desperate. I think this is a last-ditch effort to dramatically reverse

the trajectory. They are about to lose every seat that matters to them. Dallas Woodhouse *would* pull a stunt like this.

[blm]

16. Please focus on Dallas Woodhouse. GOP is trying to use this to change the course of the election

and sites like this one KNOW how these operatives work.

[LaydeeBug]

18. This happened before...when a man said he was attacked for a Bush sign

but it turned out, it was his son and the act was staged for media.

Same media dug out his baseball team pic (I think it was)

Something smacked me as wrong

[blm]

19. Phil Parlock. DU was all over it.

It came up in another thread. The guy does some stunt every cycle. Remember the campaign office that was shot at while he and other volunteers were inside?

[LaydeeBug]

22. Yep. Spot on. Great job on this. nt

[blm]

25. and a kick for morning crew

.

[JI7]

23. the reaction did make it suspicious

i heard it on the radio. listening to music and they do news updates every hour and they played a clip of him and he seems a bit "too much" .

[blm]

24. Exactly - all the GOP reactions on this are WAY overthetop in their blaming of Dems.

.

[LaydeeBug]

27. kick nt

[Fast Walker 52]

26. the incident sounded very fishy from the beginning

this totally benefits the GOP, and doesn't sound like the act of a Dem who wants to win

[Tom Rivers]

36. exactly the way i see it

no dem that actually wants to win the state would do something like this at this stage of the game. the story gets sympathy for the GOP and gives them a talking point about hate from the other side to shield their own hateful rhetoric.

i'm not saying it couldn't be a dem, but as close as north carolina will be it just feels like the GOP doing anything to keep from losing that state because they know trump has no path without it.

[SaschaHM]

34. He was on CNN lying through his teeth about the NC voter I.D. Law.

Unfortunately, the anchors didn't call him out over his racist voter suppression tactics.

[BlueProgressive]

39. I was thinking "false flag" myself, as soon as I heard

about this.

Clearly, this is the kind of action we could expect from some of the Trump partisans against the Hillary campaign, much more so than the other way around... what better way to counteract the effect of some of the rhetoric coming from their own side, and possibly gain sympathy, than to stage a supposed attack from the left?

[mike in raleigh]

44. I delivered a pizza to him years ago

Not surprisingly, he stiffed me. I knew he was an asshole even then.

[blm]

46. figures

.

[displacedtexan]

45. The NC Secretary of State needs to explain why ballots were inside an RNC office!

I'd like to hear an explanation.

Edited to add: Repukes have changed their story...
