For all the big talk about union thuggery, the strongest evidence of thuggery usually comes from the right wing side of things. And now we have it straight from the horse's mouth...er...email.
WisconsinWatch reported this morning that Carlos Lam, an Indiana prosecutor, denied writing it, though he confirmed the Hotmail address as one belonging to him.
Here's the text of the email:
And here's his oh-so-sincere denial:“If you could employ an associate who pretends to be sympathetic to the unions’ cause to physically attack you (or even use a firearm against you), you could discredit the unions,” the email said.
“Currently, the media is painting the union protest as a democratic uprising and failing to mention the role of the DNC and umbrella union organizations in the protest. Employing a false flag operation would assist in undercutting any support that the media may be creating in favor of the unions. God bless, Carlos F. Lam.”
Hmmm. But now it's a few hours later, and he has resigned after admitting writing the email. Surely a good staunch Republican lawyer wouldn't lie to the press so easily, would he?“I am flabbergasted and would never advocate for something like this, and would like everyone to be sure that that’s just not me,” he said, after being read the email.
Well, yes. And he hemmed himself in, because the headers were included with the original email which contain an originating IP address. Despite his protestations that he was minivan shopping with the family and must have been hacked, it's likely he just couldn't get around that pesky email address.
That's two Indiana prosecutors who have lost their jobs over online misconduct related to the Wisconsin protests. I'm shocked -- SHOCKED -- that an officer of the court would do such a thing.
