COEUR d’ALENE — The Kootenai County Republican Central Committee has reportedly planned and recruited volunteers to infiltrate the Kootenai Democrats, install an “antisemitic troll” as party chair and funnel money donated to Democrats to local Republicans instead.

This got disclosed because the coup plotters called a Republican who ran for sheriff in the last election to ask him to participate, and he called the paper.

My managing editor spent the entire day fielding emails from Republicans who are screaming about this. The general consensus was, "we knew (Brent Regan) was nuts, but not HOW nuts..."

3. This needs to grow legs...

Wonder where else assholes like them want to take over democratic parties?

4. The only reason the Rs are screaming about it

Is that they got caught.

5. KNR. More proof that the russians. .errrr, pukes, think Dems are as stupid

and gullible as their sheeples.

6. So many crooks in that party.

They must spend their spare time cooking up crooked scheme after crooked scheme because there's one after another always coming down the pike.

12. They won't or can't govern so they have to fill their time somehow.

7. Is there a charge: "Conspiracy to commit election fraud"?

"funnel money" would be simple theft.

8. Vile.

10. Yes, Let's Shine Some Light On This

They KNOW there is no way they can win honestly, so cheating is their MO.

13. Here's the disgusting part in all this

Massive numbers of Republicans are leaving California because guns/abortion/Judy Blume books in the libraries/whatever. A very high number are winding up in this county. As a result, we’ve got one elected Democrat in the whole county. The Republican primary usually features three candidates: someone from either the Reagan Republicans or the Pachyderm Club, someone from the Idaho Freedom Foundation, and someone from the John Birch Society. The Birchers haven’t made significant inroads because they’ve only been running candidates in the last couple of elections, but give them time.

In Kootenai County the Republicans don’t have to cheat to win, but they do it anyway.

11. Got to think this isn't an isolated incident.

There's nothing left to that party but bigots and criminals, and it won't surprise me if we find out that they're trying this shit elsewhere, too. Thank goodness most of them are stupid. How idiotic is it to try to recruit someone who ran previously as a Republican to "infiltrate" the Democratic party? Did they think the Dems wouldn't recognize him?

14. Especially since he ran for the school board recently...

...but was exposed for being a carpetbagging antisemitic white nationalist.

15. I'm not talking about just this guy.

I have no doubt this kind of ratfuckery is happening elsewhere in the country, as well.
