What did this lady, Catherine Crabill, say that is wrong?

Here is what the “leaders” said according to the WaPo:

To the statements:

From Republican Party of Virginia Chairman Pat Mullins:
“We do not condone or support the comments Catherine Crabill has made. That kind of talk has no place in civil political discourse. She has received no assistance from the state party, nor will she in the future.”

From Tucker Martin, spokesman for McDonnell:
“It’s absolutely wrong for any candidate of any party to refer to the actions of the President of the United States and members of the United States Congress as ‘domestic terrorism,’ and to threaten to resort to violence if one fails to prevail in elections,” Martin said, in what he said was his first public comment on the issue. “We disavow Catherine Crabill’s comments and know that they do not reflect the sentiments of Republicans across the Commonwealth of Virginia. Republicans, Democrats and Independents in Virginia have a history of civil discourse and we will not campaign for or with Catherine Crabill.”

From Matt Wells of the Bolling camp:
“Lieutenant Governor Bolling disagrees strongly with Ms. Crabill’s comments and he rejects those comments in the strongest possible terms. Comments like these have no place in a political campaign. Ms. Crabill was clearly speaking for herself, not for Lieutenant Governor Bolling, any of our other statewide candidates, or the Republican Party of Virginia. We have no plans to campaign for or with Ms. Crabill.”

And, rounding out the denunciations, from Chris LaCivita of Cuccinelli’s campaign:
“Our campaign has no intention of campaigning with Catherine Crabill,” he said. “Our campaign does not believe in using violence or threats of violence in a manner to entice people to vote.”

Crabill’s response is that the video was selectively edited before finally being posted in its entirety. She stands by her statements in dfenese of the Second Amendment and the original intent of the drafters of the Bill of Rights to the U.S. Constitution.

 Ken Cuccinelli is the guy running around talking about the Gadsden flag!   Why did he let loose Chris LaCivita to attack her?

This lady is being targeted by the Republican establishment and the Democrats for nothing more than quoting Patrick Henry and accurately stating the purpose of the 2nd Amendment.

Oh, and she defends Ron Paul.

McDonnell and the establishment are attacking her and disavowing her because they are scared of the Democrat’s attacks on them.

Well duh!

It’s the cringing dog that gets kicked.

So they want her to drop out of the race against Pollard? They are refusing to provide her with any support in her legislative race.

What a bunch of Damn Cowards!

What she said is no more radical than Suzzana Gratia Hupp telling Schumer at a House hearing on TV back in the nineties that “we” need our guns to protect our selves from people like you. She went on to be elected a Texas State Rep.

This is no more radical than U.S. Senator Steve Symms (R-ID) saying we had the ballot box, the jury box and the catridge box.

This is no more radical than our founders who not only espoused the idea of armed resistance to tyrants – Sic Semper Tyrannis – but acted on it. It is the Commonwealth’s motto for crying out loud!

The tax-raising, anti-gun Bob McDonnell is leading the pack of political cowards:

This is the video of what she said:

She needs to be defended by gun owners, liberty lovers and C4L folks in VA.

Call Bob McDonnell and tell him to stop cowering before his enemies.  Tell him to publicly apologize for his 1993 votes  to pass one-gun-a-month and to ban selected self-defense shotguns.

Tell him he can’t make friends of his enemies by making enemies of his friends.

Call him at 804-283-0685.

To: 2008 Virginia Republican Convention Resolution Committee Members

What happened yesterday is a blunder on the part of Virginia Pro-Gun GOP. The passage of the Gingrich language is not a substitute for political resolve. However, you do have a chance to correct the situation: Vote on the National Parks Gun Ban Repeal Resolution! I have attached it again for your convenience.

Because a resolution supporting the right to keep and bear arms was adopted at the 2004 state convention, I am withdrawing our request for passage of the RKBA amendment this year.

HOWEVER, Republicans in Virginia, and I would argue everywhere else, need to return to their roots of small government and liberty. Passage of the Park Gun Ban Repeal resolution will do just that.

With a few exceptions, Democrats have figured out that support of gun control is a losing issue. It neither motivates their base, and when they try to go too far as Democrats often do, they energize our base against them.

THEY HAVE FIGURED OUT TO WIN THEY MUST COMPETE FOR VIRGINIA’S PRO-GUN VOTE.

Are you going to let them succeed?

Springfield, Virginia

Tim, I’m a staunch supporter of your effort but I’m concerned the statement at the end about “I will stay informed about your support or non-support” might sound threatening.  Can we have something a little more positive go out?

Attention pro-gun Virginian,

Whether or not you a re a delegate to the May 29-31 Republican Party of Virginia (RPV) State Convention, you can and must make your voice heard with the Big Wigs in the RPV.

Resolution #1 is a general statement in support of the right to keep and bear arms. Click here for the proposed RPV Resolution to Endorse the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

Resolution #2 calls for the repeal of the National Park Gun Ban that denies law-abiding Virginians the right to defend themselves with a firearm in these areas. Click here for the National Park Gun Ban Repeal Resolution.

Please take the following actions:

1) Contact the Resolutions Committee and tell them to pass the pro-gun resolutions to the floor with a strong endorsement. Tell them not to mess with the intent or substance of the resolutions. Click here for Resolution Committee members

2) Contact the list of RPV Big Wigs with the same message. These movers and shakers carry a lot of weight in the party. Make them work for you and your gun rights. Many have political ambitions for elected office. Click here for the party roster.

3) Find your Republican county or city chairman and make sure he, she or it is working for you to pass these resolutions. Click here for the roster of officials.

4) Contact the Republican candidates, all of them, listed in the contact rosters. Click here for the candidate roster.

Please remember that some of these RPV officials have been replaced this year in recent intra-party elections. I am going with the best information I have. So if some of these officials are no longer in office, contact them any way. They are likely to tell you who replaced them, and they still have influence in the RPV at various levels.

Sincerely,

Tim Casey
Chairman
Virginia Pro-Gun GOP

Sample action message to the Resolutions Committee

Dear RPV Resolutions Committee Members:

As a grassroots Virginian who strongly supports the individual right to keep and bear arms, I urge you to support the two resolutions submitted by the Chairman of Virginia Pro-Gun GOP.

I want you to publicly endorse these resolutions without any weakening changes. They should be strong and clear. Please don’t mess them up with nit-picking objections or changes. I want the resolutions forwarded to any and all elected Republican officials who have jurisdiction vote for and support them.

Finally I want them posted prominently on the RPV web site as formal, public RPV policy positions. The Republican Party of Virginia should have a pro-gun platform just like VA Democrats do at http://www.vademocrats.org/pages/issues/ and it should have a statement in support of repealing the anti-self-defense National Park Gun Ban.

If you do support these resolutions, please let VA Pro-Gun GOP Chairman Tim Casey know in writing or by email at VaProGunGOP@gmail.com. He will keep me informed of your actions for or against them.

Sincerely,

————————————
