If an official did write those comments, he certainly did not know or understand how the Internet works. The only way someone else could fake one's email address is by using the same email address and sureptiously insert a dot somewhere in the address, or to add or omit a letter. Otherwise, someone in his household who had access to his computer would have had to of written the untoward suggestions. Maybe he could blame it on the gasman.

@ Professor Reality - Tell me "prof", are you old enough to remember the four unarmed students killed by the National Guard at Kent State after an "embedded" FBI man fired a pistol ? If not, you can Google it. That was also a "False Flag" operation. "dismiss this as a tertiary and not worth pursuing.." ? Do you have any children ? Critical thinking was a subject long ago taught in our colleges....... you can Google that as well.

You really have to wonder if some form of mass insanity is gripping the nation, the world. Perhaps its some sort of "evolutionary regression." Fighting in what amounts to be three wars does not seem enough here. Many Americans seem all to eager to wage another war. Upon fellow Americans. We're like a cake left out to spoil. The frosting (the elite) still looks good and everyone wants a piece. But the inside is rotten,a debauched concoction of warped minds who won't be content until they've poisoned all of us or they die trying. Take a good, hard look around the world. Is this the fate of all mankind? The mysteries of the universe will have to wait for some other species of "intelligent" life to unravel its secrets. We have been, and always will be, trying to unravel the fabric of ourselves, other humans, in our eternal and voracious quest to apply the lash of intolerance, ignorance and brutality flush across the backs of those we oppose. In 10,000 years or more of "civilized" man, the only thing that has really changed is the technology around us. Humans themselves are the same primitive "animals" that used rocks and clubs to destroy their enemies. Now, they use e-mails.

If the roles were reversed this would most definitely be Breaking News on Fox "News" and it would be spun to reflect the views of all liberals. Instead they are silent.

The first time I ran across this sort of behavior on the part of the GOP was more than 40 years ago. It is a staple for right wing America. GW Bush offered to try something like it to create a casus belli with Saddam who he intended to attack even before his bogus election.

My thought goes to the stipulation that he was involved in Republicn politics in Indiana for 18 years, & his experience led him to believe this was a good idea.
Indiana Pess Take Note, there is probably a trail of dirty tricks in this guys past worthy of review.

Why no mention of the Mother of All False Flag Scenarios, "Operation Northwoods"? Has this been expunged from collective memory? It should not be, in the light of the subsequent Gulf of Tonkin events, leading to the ill-fated Vietnam war.

The Republicans of today have no conscience, they operate from egos which are amoral in nature. Yet they use Christianity as a disguise, mouthing religious pap as they steal food out of the mouths of children. As if Jesus would approve of such thievery:

"Whatever you do for the least of these, you do also unto me."

The Republican thugs will try anything after all according to some historians it was members of Linclon's own cabinet that actally plotted his assanation with Booth being the fall guy!
What we need to do is call them what they are at every turn and hold them accountable in the public forums.

One of you said the Repubs were amoral. Yes, how can one describe a party with leaders who are having affairs of their own going after Democrat for immoral turpitude and continue to act like hypocrits? They have no shame and they do it because they can...because God forgives them exclusively.
I don't blame politicians for the state of the country. I blame voters. The masses of them who are one issue voters, who vote loyalty without question. They desire a black and white world without question and any attempt at critical thinking or truth is considered treason, un-American. They desire a cleansing of humanity where work is liberty and a state of war somewhere, yet ignored is necessary.
Walker and his party have shown blatant contempt for citizens. Rightly so. It's what the "people" want.
Democracy ensures that the people get the government they deserve.

Make sure this guy files an official police report claiming someone else wrote and sent the e-mail. Then insist that the police and FBI (e-mails are sent over the Internet which is interstate, thus also have federal jurisdictional coverage) to identify who, when, and how the e-mail was sent. If they find proof that he was mistaken and did send it, prosecute him for filing a false report.
