Fake hate crime in Denver: Dems stand by smear, vandal’s story gets weirder

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 26, 2009 07:37 PM

“Ariel Attack!”

Last night, I told you about the fake political hate crime here in Colorado at the Denver Democrat Party headquarters involving one “Maurice Schwenkler.”

This hammer-wielding person has been charged with felony mischief. This person’s accomplice is still on the loose.

Eleven windows were smashed, causing $11,000 in damage.

Schwenkler is a far Left nutball and transgender activist who guys by “Ariel Attack”. As part of Schwenkler’s work for the SEIU-tied 527 group Colorado Citizens Coalition, he/she canvassed for a state Democratic candidate, Mollie Collum.

Schwenkler has a prior criminal history…

On the last day of the 2008 Republican National Convention, he was charged with misdemeanor unlawful assembly in St. Paul, Minn.

Court records provided through the St. Paul Pioneer Press show he was jailed about 2 a.m.

…and unhinged grievances against Obama over gay rights, with declared intent to wreak havoc as inspired by eco-terrorist at the Earth Liberation Front:

The anti-Obama site says that Schwenkler is one of the bloggers behind Gender Munity, a site that advocates a direct-action approach to gay rights. One post, a “Communique from the Gender Liberation Front,” takes inspiration from radical activist groups like the Earth Liberation Front and the “Stonewall Rioters” by “seeking vulnerable targets and unleashing chaos”…

State Democrat Party Chair Pat Waak refuses to apologize for smearing conservative town hall protesters and stands by her political attack:

“I stand by my statement that I think there are people opposed to health care reform and there has been a lot of rhetoric that has prompted an atmosphere that I don’t think is constructive,” Waak said Wednesday. “It’s such a polarizing issue. It shouldn’t be.”

You’re the polarizer, Ms. Waak.

Republican Chairman Dick Wadhams has condemned the act and said he doesn’t believe the Democratic Party had anything to do with it. But he said Waak’s suggestion that the vandalism was somehow connected to the health care debate was appalling.

“It’s impugning anybody who is exercising their free speech and opposing the president’s proposal,” he said.

    Another embarrassment for Colorado.
    State Democrat Party Chair Pat Waak is truly whacked…
    Waak, you’re NO better then the vandal/hatemonger who broke the windows and maybe even more dangerous because someone in the dem party might take you seriously and think there is no reason to apologize for accusing innocents during false attacks.
    Sounds like Waak’s been to the Alinsky/ Cloward-Piven school radical lefty politics.
    She must be a future czar for bho.

    ….and as for the he/she vandal, it is totally insane.

    Gee, thanks Dems. Now go away.

    Typical…disparage nothing, nor anyone from the fringe, nor their fractured thought process. By not rebuking this act of violence, Waak is condoning it. ‘nough said.

    Hey Waak-O, the defense of America against terrorist jihad is such a polarizing issue. It shouldn’t be.

    So perform the maneuver suggested by Cheney to Leaky Leahy, bi-yotch.

    yeah, they even astroturf what they claim is astroturf.

    It is remarkable that people will do this over a policy that they don’t even understand. This person probably doesn’t even know what ‘health care’ will do.

    The only reason this person did this is because they think that other Americans are the ‘enemy’.

    Obama should condemn this, but he supports it. I’ve never seen anything like this. Our politicians want America fighting against each other for political gain.

    If you support the policies, fine, support them. But this effort should be roundly condemned as unhelpful. Pelosi, Reid, Obama all foster this type of attitude.

    I think Obama likes Lincoln so much because he wants to start another civil war over crappy legislation that is bad for the country.

    OK – as a token GLBTQABCDEFG conservative, I have to wonder just that the heck a “transgender activist” is. Do you make a living that way?

    Is he/she/it advocating government health insurance coverage of addadictomies and choppadickoffamies (tm Rush)?

    I thought of a useful stimulus program: one-way tickets for these wingnuts to the totalitarian utopia of their choosing.

    A disgraceful sidestepping of this issue was heard this morning on “Newsradio” (as if) 850 KOA when Pat Waak was on to eulogize Ted Kennedy. They concluded the conversation by remaking on “what a week” she’s had, with the vandalism of their headquarters. She never mentioned ONCE that the subject was a radical leftist, and the hosts made no attempt to clarify that fact when talking about it. They also spent much of the past few mornings basking in the afterglow of where we were 1 yr ago with the DNC here in town. Pathetic.

    uneducated..ie, probably has a high school diploma but since that is vacuous it is not an accomlpishment which readies one for success.

    These and other attriubutes, both negatively amped up and positively stunted make this type of person the perfect foil for the left. They commit criminal acts and still are not disowned. The time is nearing when the liberal will once again return to the type of acts which Ayers and his associates commited. Or worse.

    And the left will still gloss over and give cover to them.

    Let’s get something straight (pun intended): There’s no such thing as a “trans-gendered” person. She’s still as much a she as she ever was before she had her body mutilated. If she still has two X chromosomes, she’s still a she.

    Make no mistake: “Maurice” is still “Maureen.”

    I actually don’t agree with that. I draw a huge distinction between homosexuals and transexuals. Homosexuals have a behavioral dysfunction whereby they are missing the instinctive attraction to the opposite gender. Transexuals are attracted to the opposite gender just like normal people but they are unfortunately trapped in a body opposite to the one their brain thinks they are. (Trannys ought to be delighted just to be alone with themselves.)
