Don't prosecute dumb people?
June 11, 2009
According to an article in the Huntsville Times, Alabama GOP Chair Mike Hubbard, doesn't think that dumb people should be prosecuted for violating the law. Do wha?
His quote came in reference to a fradulent letter posted to a website by Dale Jackson, a rightwing radio host out of Huntsville, that used the Secretary of State's seal and instructed voters for Laura Hall in Senate District 7 to vote on the day after the election.
We've seen these types of campaign tactics performed by the GOP all over the country. They are in no way, shape or form funny, and they have been used time and again to confuse and disenfranchise voters.
Hubbard called the letter "idiotic", but added "I don't think you prosecute a guy for being dumb."
Ya know, if we used that logic in our legal system, then people who commit dumb crimes, which is like ALL OF THEM, shouldn't be prosecuted. Mr. Chairman, we'll just assume you had a momentary lapse of reason.
