having a complaint filed is a big damn deal. She’s clearly guilty already. Everyone should call the DA immediately.
I’ve got to improve my reading skills.
for having the intellectual capacity of an amoeba.
I am not a criminal lawyer, nor do I practice in the areas of election law or state seal law. However, given the volume of violent criminal cases, financial fraud cases, etc. a DA’s office has to handle, I would not let my palms get too sweaty thinking the DA is going to jump right on this one. It just is not going to be high on anyone’s list of priorities in my opinion.
She’ll easily get away with the “knowing” part.
My favorite dish, no matter how you cook it.
I’m making some today.
I can barely type, I’m quivering so with outrage.
Not prosecuting a rape case is one thing. But using the State Seal in a political campaign? My God in Heaven! Go to the head of Class 5 forthwith and notwithstanding!
I’ve heard lots of issues raised in this campaign and on this site. Important issues. But using the State Seal in a political campaign? This takes the cake (chocolate layer) by a country mile (5,280 ft. plus however longer it takes to get there).
I assume the State Police have been sent to the scene. Put the guilty party in cuffs. Hauled her to Maximum Security to await sentencing.
Is there still time to move to the district so I can vote against her?
Sources tell us that Libby used the State Seal to finish wrapping campaign literature in Saran Wrap!
Have these people no shame?
Stop Press! Remake the Front!
to hear the “pretext” call.
Citizen: “So, you know, when you had your graphic designer put the State Seal on that last mailer, were you –”
Szabo: “I know, I’m really sorry about that, what was I thinking? Must’ve been two drinks into Friday already!”
Citizen: “It really made me feel uncomfortable. I just –”
Szabo: “Wait, are you taping this? KKKRRRKKKKK I’m going through a tunnel, I’ll have to –” CLICK
Once again Colorado Pols loses credibility by convicting a Republican in the media before checking the facts. I can’t believe a credible news organization would say such things as, “This is a cut-and-dried case” or “There’s no question her campaign used the seal.” Check the facts next time before you rush to trash a Republican. If you look at the mailer (that’s right the one you posted with the story) and compare the insignia in it to the definition of the Colorado seal in CRS 24-80-901 you will clearly see they are not the same. For example the phrases “State of Colorado” and “Nil Sine Numine” are required on the state seal yet neither appear on the insignia in the mailer. In addition, the secretary of state has determined the official seal is 2 Вј inches in diameter (not the same size in Szabo’s mailing.) These are some differences to name a few. By the way, in case you missed it, CRS 24-80-902 makes it a felony for any person to illegally use the state seal. There is no criminal penalty to use an insignia that is not the state seal. Apologize and get it right the next time.
This isn’t a “news site.”
It’s a blog. It’s credibility comes from the fact that people like you visit it. So thanks for all the hard work!
They shouldn’t do it an expect others to fact-check their accusations afterwards. If pols is the leading political site in the state (and therefore dispenses news) they have a moral obligation to provide the most accurate information. Unless pols doesn’t care about its credibility….
So in short, hiding behind the “we’re not a news site” bit is misdirecting from the point that pols was dead wrong.
They owe Libby and readers an apology on the same scale as the accusation.
Pols should have stuck to highlighting what a piece of shit this Republican candidate is to use photos of Governor Ritter signing a piece of legislation to help victims to attack her opponent. Republicans are ugly assholes who lie with impunity so don’t even bring up the law and whether it should be applied.
Bernie Buescher also used the state seal in campaign materials illegally.
