Republican Huckster Admits To Election Fraud"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>For several years now, Republicans have been engaged in a prolonged and determined campaign to suppress the votes of citizens whom they believe are inclined to vote for Democrats. They pretend that their mission is to prevent election fraud, even though they <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brennancenter.org\/analysis\/policy-brief-truth-about-voter-fraud\" target=\"_blank\">can&#8217;t document<\/a> more than a handful of cases. So why is it that almost every time actual election fraud is uncovered, it happens to be by Republicans?<\/p>\n<p>Today a bona fide example of criminal election activity has emerged in the form of a guilty plea by Republican author and filmmaker, Dinesh D&#8217;Souza. D&#8217;Souza <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/2014\/05\/20\/us-usa-politics-dsouza-idUSBREA4J0H520140520\" target=\"_blank\">admitted in court<\/a> that he unlawfully reimbursed friends who made donations to a New York senatorial candidate saying that he <em>&#8220;knew that causing a campaign contribution to be made in the name of another was wrong and something the law forbids.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/Pix\/FoxNews\/foxnews-justice-dsouza.jpg\" alt=\"Fox News - D&#039;Souza\" width=\"500\" height=\"263\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11373\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/News-Corpse\/117899091558228?v=wall\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Like me on Facebook\">Be Sure To \u201cLIKE\u201d News Corpse On Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the harsh glare of the courtroom light, D&#8217;Souza is singing a very different tune. Earlier this year, when the charges were brought against him, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=11372\" target=\"_blank\">he complained<\/a> that he was being singled out for his anti-Obama writing and films. The news of his indictment stirred an outpouring of support from conservative media who alleged that President Obama was behind this political plot to silence his critics. D&#8217;Souza appeared several times on Fox News to assert his victimhood but, curiously, came short of asserting his innocence. He did, however, tell Sean Hannity that the prosecution may be <em>&#8220;payback&#8221;<\/em> by Obama for his aggressively negative, although thinly researched and easily debunked, screeds against the President. And Hannity was not alone in his defense of D&#8217;Souza. The <a href=\"amzn.to\/UPoI6a\" target=\"_blank\">lie-riddled Fox Nation<\/a> website featured a commentary by Charles Hurt of Breitbart News that literally excused D&#8217;Souza&#8217;s crimes, even if it turned out that he were guilty &#8211; which we now know that he is.<\/p>\n<p>Federal law includes sentencing guidelines that could result in a prison term of ten to sixteen months. D&#8217;Souza&#8217;s attorney, however, plans to ask the judge to waive any jail time because he says that his client is a <em>&#8220;fundamentally honorable man&#8221;<\/em> who had committed an <em>&#8220;isolated instance of wrongdoing.&#8221;<\/em> That&#8217;s if you consider someone whose books and films have been proven to be filled with lies, and who was forced to resign as the dean of a Catholic university because of marital infidelity, to be fundamentally honorable. It&#8217;s also difficult to regard paying off four different people to be an isolated instance of wrongdoing. But that&#8217;s the Republican perspective on law and order. It&#8217;s only really a crime if a Democrat does it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For several years now, Republicans have been engaged in a prolonged and determined campaign to suppress the votes of citizens whom they believe are inclined to vote for Democrats.
