Here is where I need help and advice. The Judge.. Victoria Rosetti has done this before! She uses deportation as a punishment. Is she that stupid that she will not admit the crimminals (sexual Predators) will be back in a week?

Is she re-writing the law? What steps can be taken to stop her? She is a Republican Judge, up for election with no one running against her.

I am part of a radio show "Perspectices on our Heritage" and we want to stir up publicity around it. Mundeline is just north of Chicago. What can be done to question her Judge worthiness? Has she herself broken any laws by giving a deportation sentence?

Not usually, because media outlets don't want to tie themselves to someone else's original reporting.

After contacting the sources, the best bet is to find ways to bring the material up again and again. What I'd do: free blogspot or wordpress account, individual entry for each post. Don't waste time on commentary. Just one screengrab and link per post. Tag each one by which group she's insulting or what crazy poo poo she's talking about.

Make the final post (the first one visitors will see) include links to each tag, explain the context, etc.

e.g. how crazy is this lady? see what she has to say about :
hispanics
gays and lesbians
the poor
president obama

etc

On its own, it provides something to get the net to link to and talk about. Put it up on Kos, crooksandliars, etc. But then re-send the link to the media outlets to work as jerry-rigged database to show them "hey, we've just made it a lot easier to do your job you lazy fucks"

this is a good idea and if no one has done it by like Tuesday I'll probably put it together just for posterity's sake

Chicago News Bench: Conservative Commentary when you need it most posted:

UPDATED: This morning I posted a letter from Don Castella (below), Treasurer of the Committee to Elect Rosanna Pulido. Well, what a difference half a day makes. Seems there's a shitstorm of negative press about to pile down all over the Pulido Campaign. Guess what? Yours truly will pile on, too. Meanwhile, as I load up a bushel of nastiness to throw down on Pulido's campaign manager, Tom Hoefler, enjoy these links:

Progress Illinois picked up the blog via Capitol Fax

busy day today :snoop:

POTUShead
Sep 23, 2006

The Chicago News Bench ("Conservative Commentary you can count on") linked to the blog and had some remarkably kind words for us (but not for Pulido) with their big ol' followup post promised earlier:

quote:

Fasten your seat belts, this is gonna be a bumpy ride. The Illinois Republican Party (IL GOP), long known as an ineffectual, castrated organization, has not been supporting the conservative Republican candidate in the special election to fill the vacant congressional seat of the 5th District (formerly held by Rahm Emanuel). Some, including myself, have accused the IL GOP of betraying its own and of not caring about an open congressional seat.

I maintain those concerns, but there are new concerns that have caused me - as of late this morning - to completely withdraw my support for the Pulido campaign.

First, a brief history. On March 3, the primary elections (Republican, Democrat, Green) were held. Stroger-Democrat Mike Quigley won the Democrat primary; Pulido won the Republican primary; Mathew Reichel won the Green primary. As noted above, the IL GOP gave virtually zero support to Pulido's campaign.

Today comes news that Rosanna Pulido has long been writing disturbing posts on Free Republic, a popular sight among conservatives for posting news links, updates, comments and chat. I myself am a "freeper," a person who posts now and then to Free Republic (FR). Let me defend FR briefly by saying that, like any large website that gets hundreds or thousands of comments, some items are posted that could be considered offensive. They are not representative of the vast majority of "freepers," any more than offensive remarks on a site such as chicagotribune.com, for example, are representative of either that newspaper or of their average reader.

Pulido was posting under the pseudonym "chicagolady." She apparently felt comfortable posting anonymously. Her cover was blown, however, by a blog called "Rosanna Pulido is a Freeper." Many of the posts highlighted there are borderline racist. Although I agree on the basics of many of Pulido's positions, such as enforement of our existing immigration laws, I and most other conservatives have made great and sincere effort to make it clear that we oppose illegal immigration for a number of health, legal, criminal and national security reasons, with race not being a factor for us. We don't give a drat whether those illegals are from Mexico, Sweden, Nicaragua or England. Pulido's comments, however, give those of us who don't factor race or a particular nationality into the immigration argument an undeserved bad reputation.

Although the author/s of "Rosanna Pulido is a Freeper" and I probably disagree on most things political, I applaud them for their moxy, and for exposing a side of Rosanna Pulido that I had not been aware of before today. What the blogger/s did is true citizen journalism.

Other things, however, have come to the fore since late last week. Since the March 3 primary win, Pulido's campaign has come under the unfortunate "management" of one Tom Hoefling, an Alan Keyes sycophant and National Chairman of Keyes' America's Independent Party (AIP).

quote:

Tom Hoefling is the National Chairman of America’s Independent Party (AIP). As such, he is automatically at odds with the Republican Party. Why Pulido chose an Alan Keyes sycophant from outside the Republican circle is a mystery. You may remember Keyes in his disastrous run for US Senator against Barack Obama in 2004. Then his weird campaign last year for president. Yes, I know, I've tried to forget him, too. Not Tom Hoefling, though, who apparently feels that Keyes ran a brilliant campaign and seems equally determined to repeat those results for Pulido. Today, Hoefling is the happy National Chair of the AIP, the political party created by Keyes himself.

Why don't you do it, something just came up at work. To get his attention, emphasizing the homophobia probably isn't enough.

hooray for destroying the local GOP on my day off

By saying the comments she made were from 2003 she's trying to limit the fallout, implying it was a one time thing rather then a consistant stream of bile for the past 5 years. Hopefully someone will highlight this, and pressure her further, but I doubt anyone in the main stream media will be bothered without it being given all the evidence and explanation they need to get off their arses to do something about it.

Part of Charlie Brooker's Newswipe on BBC 4 here in the UK made me thing about this thread. He had someone on talking about how the news industry had become an extension of the PR industry, and that journalists merely recycle what ever they pick up on news wires or get sent by PR companies, and I think this thread reflects that perfectly. It also means that unless effort is put into challanging her claim that she only made offensive comments in 2003 then journalists won't even think that she's bullshitting and this will all die down.

she's a car wreck not a contender, she never had a chance of winning so no one was ever really going to pay attention

its funny she'll do this little mea culpa deal on free republic to try and goose the rest of them into realizing that being proud of those kinds of statements when your real life is attached to them is something else entirely - honestly its good enough for me just knowing she's had to sit through a couple severely uncomfortable conversations by this point, led by people who are looking at her like she poo poo on the dining room table

until she puts up a public apology for her comments to ABC about the bishop she's not off the hook with the local party, and as far as the freep comments go there's no half life for that kind of thing, she's pretty much ruined for any elected position outside of the militiamen for the rest of her life
