Blogger anonymously threatens AZGOP chairman in e-mail
Has posted anonymous blog attacks for weeks

The Yellow Sheet Report recently published a short on an anonymous email received at Arizona Republican HQ threatening Chairman Morrissey with a public "recall" campaign if he refused to "do the honorable thing" and resign his position by May 2, 2011.

The email, which has since been circulated to others, has been tracked back to the server which hosts the scurrilous blog site Politico Mafioso, a site purporting to be the "Leader of the McCain Mafia." An anonymous threat demanding the recipient do the honorable thing would be quite in keeping with an individual who would run a site like Political Mafioso. We suspect the Senator would consider the removal of all references to him to be the honorable thing for Politico Mafioso to do.

This website is known for its crude, vicious attacks on conservative Republicans in the party. Most of them come from anonymous usernames that hide behind the website. They don't contribute any real arguments or facts, only smears and innuendos. Many of the attacks probably cross the line into defamation.

Jeff Vath, the somewhat substantial man behind the site, is also known for his photo-shopped art attacks on political candidates, elected officials and others he selects for derision. Photoshop is a weapon that, like tracer rounds, is useful in both directions. An example can be found, (first a warning, minors and the faint hearted should leave the vicinity before you click), here.

Enough is enough, McCainiac Mafia. If Jabba the Vath doesn't like Morrissey, he should stand up and say so, not hide behind a badly-faked anonymous email. Anonymous speech is protected political speech because it has some value. Crude threats are nothing more than 3rd grade behavior.
