Something smells.
The uproar caused by the PUMA dingbats at the Democratic convention make me a little suspicious. I can't imagine sincere Democrats who supported Clinton behaving this way. There are only three real possibilities: (1) they are essentially non-political and are determined to have a woman (any woman) to become President, (2) they have an unhealthy fixation on Hillary Clinton, or (3) they are "plants".
Before declaring me a conspiracy nut, consider the many times the GOP has resorted to campaigns of disinformation.
In 2000, Donald Segretti served as co-chair of John McCain's presidential campaign in Orange County, California.
Segretti was a political operative for the Committee to Re-elect the President (C.R.E.E.P.) during the 1970s. He was hired by friend Dwight L. Chapin to run a campaign of dirty tricks (which he dubbed "ratfucking") against the Democrats. His actions were part of the larger Watergate scandal. Karl Rove was Segretti's protege during the 1972 Nixon campaign.
In 1974, Segretti pleaded guilty to three misdemeanor counts of distributing illegal (in fact, forged) campaign literature and was sentenced to six months in prison, actually serving four months. One notable example of his wrong-doing was a faked letter on Democratic presidential candidate Edmund Muskie's letterhead falsely alleging that U.S. Senator Henry "Scoop" Jackson, a fellow Democrat, had had an illegitimate child with a 17-year-old.
Segretti was a lawyer who served as a prosecutor for the military and later as a civilian. However, his license was suspended for two years following his conviction. In 1995, he ran for a local judgeship in Orange County, California. However, he quickly withdrew from the race when his campaign awakened lingering anger over his involvement in the Watergate scandal.
EXACTLY what is the background of these PUMA people? Does anyone know?
