Starring Ben Tribbet as "Tate Assassin"

With this post today, Ben Tribbett and Mark Tate have continued their trumped up assault on the American justice system, Jill Holtzman Vogel, and the Republican Party of Virginia.

Mark has apparently sent Ben a copy of a one-line letter from May 2004 addressed to Mark and written by Russ Potts. Potts claimed that Mark was as guilty of campaign violations as Mike Rothfeld. Interestingly, Mr. Rothfeld pled guilty today to civil charges of campaign finance violations. The key difference here is that Mark isn't accused of something as innocuous as not putting a disclaimer on his mail pieces. Mark has been indicted for perjury and election fraud. Russ Potts may be a broken clock, but even they're right twice a day.

The theory that Potts is secretly backing Jill while calling her a "daddy's girl" in the press is ridculous. I wonder if Ben and Mark sit up at night in tinfoil hats trying to spot UFO's battling black helicopters too?

Ben also attacked the special prosecutor this weekend claiming that his motion to disqualify defense counsel was also a politically motivated move. He makes this accuation without any knowledge whatsoever for why Ed MacMahon may have a conflict with a client. I'm willing to bet there is a good legal argument for MacMahon's disqualification. Mr. MacMahon is a donor to Mr. Tate's campaign and has given Mark $7,000 since 2002 according to vpap.org. It is entirely possible that they have some kind of impermissable financial relationship. Whatever the actual basis for this motion, Ben Tribbet is no legal analyst and to accuse a special prosecutor of corruption is extremely serious.

Finally, even after the RPV state central committee took no action on Tate's indictment (but reserved the right to revisit the issue), Tate continued his assault on RPV and its employees.

The question here remains: WHY IS MARK TATE USING A LIBERAL DEMOCRAT BLOGGER TO BRING DOWN OUR STATE PARTY? Is political power that important to him?
