Houston: Operation Reichstag Fire?

Stacy McCain tips us off to this post by Bryan Preston at Pajamas Media about a mysterious warehouse fire that destroyed 10,000 of Harris County's voting machines shortly after the county tax-assessor went public with charges of massive voter-registration fraud. The Democrats are now suing the tax-assessor, Republican Leo Vasquez, and have called for the intervention of Eric "Voter fraud? I don't see any voter fraud" Holder's Justice Department to "monitor" the November election.

I'm not suggesting that the Democrats started the fire (according to this recent article in the Houston Chronicle, investigators had not yet determined the cause). I am suggesting that it is well within the scope of a political party with a long history of election-gaming to use the fire as a pretext for calling Holder in to divert attention from irregularities (Holder's DOJ has displayed a notorious lack of interest in voter fraud and intimidation committed by "non-favored" groups).

A good catch by Stacy of some important reportage by Preston on these ominous developments in Texas' most populous county.

I read Bryan's article. I had wondered about that fire, and now I am truly concerned. Whether it was arson or not, the Democrats are certainly taking full advantage of the situation, even if it is unethical.

I smell desperation in the political wind, and desperate people can be quite dangerous. Let's hope that sanity prevails in Houston.

We all know it. The Dems did it. Because they're nervous
(rightly so) and history has shown they'll resort to anything.

Democrats screaming about voter fraud is a classic tactic straight from the Alinsky playbook. It also signals proof of their guilt.

Democrats are like the kid who blames the broken cookie jar on the other kid. A friend parked his car with the windows down, came out in less than a minute, found a guy pulling out his stereo. He confronted him, only to have the thief blame him.

If the tax assesor were only a Black Panther.

Hey, wait a minute! The tax assessor's name is Leo Vasquez? They're going after a minority? Guess it's the "Uncle Tom factor". We've got to update our security measures to find out how they got into our big tent. Democrats, I mean.
