a blast from the past. Oh, and don't forget how they sabotaged Julie Hiatt Steele's web site by contributing to her donation fund with phony credit card numbers, costing her thousands of dollars.
http://www.americanpolitics.com/20010605MiaLawrence.htmlTuesday, June 5, 2001 -- WASHINGTON (APJP) -- While the Bush family jokingly rolls its eyes about Jenna's and Barbara's underage drinking and refuses to comment publicly, Bush supporters are bringing a bitter jihad of retaliation against Chuy's, the Austin restaurant at which the young lushes violated the law -- an the bar manager who did the right thing and phoned police.
The attacks against Mia Lawrence, the bar manager, are being orchestrated on the Internet. Her address, date of birth, drivers license and registration information, physical description, and even birth information about her infant child have been posted on freerepublic.com, along with calls for punitive actions. Freerepublic.com website's sysop pulled some of the information as it was called to his attention -- to his credit -- but the info has circulated and been posted to other Internet forums to spread the "Get Lawrence" frenzy.
Bush supporters have obliquely and directly called for Lawrence to be punished -- publicly humiliated, fired from her job, impoverished, and exposed to risky and dangerous situations.
A freerepublic.com member who uses the screen name "tracer" recommended using her private info for identity theft:
"Giving out her driver's license no. and her DOB opens her up to mucho identity theft. It also makes background checks by 'inquiring minds' a breeze
. But at least that's better than the way a Democrat apparatchik in Chicago would have handled this if the roles/parties were reversed. The result rhymes with 'room.'"

"I think that you should visit the restaurant with a camera and a cell phone. Take pictures of the staff serving the underage college students and send them to the newspapers. Also take pictures of Mia What's her name and post it on the internet , along with her license number. Make this chick so paranoid that if she thinks if she so much as goes through a red light, someone will call 911. Let her know that her picture is being posted."
Others suggest pouring bar drinks on her and making a permanent web site with her personal info. On the web site lucianne.com is posted a link to a 2001 personal bankruptcy claim filed by Lawrence, with all its unhappy detail about her finances, including many thousands of dollars in medical expenses.
