From perjury to election theft

L. Jean Lewis' greatest hits, continued:

A little googling reveals, first, a nice rundown of L. Jean Lewis' serial perjury.

Next, there's this fine bit of "identity politics", from that ever-so-mainstream publication, WorldNetDaily, in which Ms. Lewis waxes wroth at the mere appearance of black people on the scene at the Florida 2000 election debacle. Note the classic reference to minorities as a disease (vermin is the other usual giveaway for closet racists):
As if the behavior initiated in Florida by the Democrats was not yet sufficiently mean-spirited, Jesse Jackson and his minions have now arrived on the scene like malignant cancer cells attracted to a growing tumor. His appetite for inciting political frenzy through race-baiting, and pitting rights of special interest and minority groups against those of the general populace is at startling odds with his clerical title. His current efforts have successfully produced a breath-taking deterioration within an already untenable situation. The fact that the Democrats have turned a blind eye to his unruly activities is upsetting; that they would discreetly condone and nurture such behavior is appalling.

To have them openly encourage rumors of civil rights violations and propagate deliberate unrest is bordering on sedition. Have they no concern about the impact of force-feeding this behavior down the throat of the American public? Are we shortly to be poised on the brink of a constitutional crisis with legal endgames that will defy all logic? America must be allowed to emerge from this episode with some remaining vestige of political dignity. The voters, not the courts or Clinton-appointed judges, should decide this election, and the voters have already spoken.

Well, we've been hearing all about how liberals are "seditious" these days (haven't we, Ms. Coulter), so perhaps Lewis' screed deserves some credit for its prescience. Of course, if raising questions about civil-rights violations in the Florida debacle means one is being treasonous, then evidently the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and the NAACP (not to mention all the people who testified at their hearings) were guilty of sedition as well. I'm sure Ms. Lewis wouldn't have it any other way.

Speaking of which, did anyone happen to notice that Ms. Lewis failed to evince any concern for the effect on the election by such groups as Don Black's white-supremacist Stormfront troops (who in fact broke up one of Jackson's appearances) insofar as they might represent "race baiting" or "propagate civil unrest"?

Is anyone surprised?
