Donny Ferguson Update

I like to keep track of him. He has operated in Virginia, Montana, and now Texas. He gets much of his money via money laundering from Eugene Delgaudio. He is also on the payroll of Steve Stockman.

Connect the dots. Search at DU. Google is your friend.

More political dirty tricks from that dynamic duo, Donny and Eugene

Let’s see, where have we heard this before . . . former Eugene Delgaudio acolyte Donny Ferguson denies any possible coordination between (a) a dirty-trick political hit piece from an “independent” “educational” group and (b) the campaign of the opposing candidate who benefits from said dirty trick?

Well, first it was in Montana. Then it was in Colorado. Then in our very own Loudoun County.

Now it’s in Texas, where former Delgaudio aide Donny (he sure gets around!) is working as spokesman for the primary campaign of tea party wacko Steve Stockman, who is seeking to unseat incumbent Republican U.S. senator John Cornyn.

This time the roles are slightly reversed, though: it’s Eugene supplying the dirty tricks and Donny saying he knows absolutely nothing about it — Donny even claims to have had “no involvement” or contact with his former mentor, even though Donny has been getting very generous regular payments from Eugene for preparing his official “newsletters” and other mailings — including one payment approved just last September by the rest of the all-Republican Loudoun Board of Supervisors, which supposedly was going to be closely monitoring Eugene’s office expenses as punishment for Eugene’s ethical and financial misconduct.

You can read Eugene’s latest scumball political mailing here (in which he warns that the “homosexual lobby,” and by implication Cornyn plus all of Stockman’s other primary opponents, want to “create a privileged employment status for homosexuals, transsexuals and pedophiles” and as a result “businesses will be required to maintain quotas of these objectionable employees” — by the way, so much for the whitewashing acceptance by our lame media of Eugene’s claims that he is just a “conservative activist” who is simply “pro-family.” Here is explicitly equating homosexuals with “pedophiles” and describing homosexuals as “objectionable employees.”)

Also of interest is Donny’s denial that he knows anything about a fake newspaper mailed to voters, smearing Stockman’s opponents. As the above links to Donny’s Montana and Colorado efforts note, such fake newspapers have been a staple of his dirty-trick repertoire.


Stockman Campaign Denies It Was Behind Mailer

by Aman Batheja Feb. 23, 2014

A spokesman for U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman’s campaign for U.S. Senate denied multiple allegations Sunday from rivals that it is engaging in misleading or illegal efforts to sway Republican voters.
....

On Sunday, Stockman campaign spokesman Donny Ferguson said the campaign had nothing to do with "The Conservative News."
....

Ferguson also said the Stockman campaign had no involvement with recent political activity by Public Advocates, a Washington, D.C.-based conservative group. The group sent out questionnaires to Cornyn and his Republican and Democratic opponents asking about their views on the “homosexual lobby.” The group’s president, Eugene Delgaudio, emailed voters in Texas last week that only Stockman responded to the questionnaire and is “100% pro-family.” Ferguson used to work as a legislative aide for Delgaudio, who is a member of the Loudon County Board of Supervisors in Virginia.
