Fake hate crime alert: Leftists vandalize Denver Democrat HQ; Dems smeared Obamacare foes

Nabbed: Left-wing Obamacare supporter Maurice Schwenkler, not Obamacare foes, arrested in attack on Denver Democrat HQ

I called out GOP fake hate crime perpetrator Ashley Todd last year and have documented a long list of hoax crimes across party, racial, and gender lines for nearly two decades.

So, the latest case of so-called progressives vandalizing a Democrat headquarters in Denver comes as no surprise. And neither does the initial attempt by Colorado Democrats to blame “hate” by “the other side” and to shamelessly tie the crime to town hall protesters.

Meet the hoaxer:

A 24-year-old arrested this morning on suspicion of smashing 11 windows at Colorado Democratic Party headquarters tried to conceal his identity while allegedly committing the crime, according to police descriptions.

Maurice Schwenkler wore a shirt over his face, a hooded sweat shirt and latex gloves before he and another man fled the scene on bicycles, police said. Schwenkler was apprehended after a short chase. The other suspect remains at large.

While Schwenkler does not appear in the state’s voter registration database, a person by that name in November 2008 received $500 from a political 527 committee called Colorado Citizens Coalition for “communications,” according to campaign finance disclosures.

The accountant for the 527 appears to be the same woman who handles the books for many other Democratic-leaning political committees.

A Maurice Schwenkler also signed an online 2005 petition to free anti-war Christian protesters who were captured in Iraq.

State Democratic Party Chairwoman Pat Waak initially blamed the vandalism on animosity surrounding the health care debate, though Denver police declined to comment on possible motives.

Where’s the apology from Waak?

***

Another non-surprise: Schwenkler was paid by the SEIU-related front group CCC, according to Colorado blogger El Presidente.

I’ll have to add Schwenkler’s pic to the Unhinged Mugshot Collection.

I’m sure this is a more important story than, say,

It’s called trying to change the subject and your not very good at. That’s not a real big surprise, when confronted with dishonesty liberal trolls try to deflect and distract. Obvious Much.

The Denver Post article says this maurice was also arrested in St Paul at the RNC convention for unlawful assembly. So he has a longer record of democrat activism.

This person should be made famous. would love to see a larger profile on the evening news. Much larger.

Why is it always so difficult to tell if these people are male or female? When I first saw the photo, I thought it was a chick. An ugly chick, but a chick nonetheless.

My sentiments exactly.

How Nazi-like this act is. Just like the Reichstag burning.

Hey Lucifer, the closest thing we got to the Reichstag burning was the manufactured attacks on September 11, 2001.
