Blogger Who Revealed GOP Leader's KKK Ties Had Home Internet Lines Cut

Posted by timothy on from the coud-be-coincidence dept.

blottsie writes Last month, Lamar White, Jr. set off a firestorm in Washington when a post on his personal blog revealed that House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, the third most powerful Republican in the House of Representatives, was a featured speaker at a white nationalist conference put on by former Klu Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke. Then someone climbed in his back yard and severed his Internet cables.

    Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), the House majority whip, acknowledged Monday that he spoke at a gathering hosted by white-supremacist leaders while serving as a state representative in 2002

    So he confirmed he spoke to a group, but didn't know they were founded by Duke and didn't know they were racist. Where is the lie?

    Nonsense.. Even Scalise doesn't believe that.

    Did you report it to any of the following; local police board, state police board, prosecutor in the case? The prosecutor would be your best bet as they usually get pissed off when their witnesses are messed with. The prosecutor could charge the officers with witness tampering. Did you politely ask for the case number so you could refer to the incident later?
