Name That Party: Choking a Pregnant Woman Edition
This morning the Chicago Tribune carries an Associated Press story headlined "Racine alderman is charged assaulting woman."
The piece begins:
A Racine alderman has been charged with assaulting a woman who worked for him.
Keith Fair was charged Monday with strangulation and suffocation, misdemeanor battery and disorderly conduct.
The woman and the 59-year-old alderman are in a relationship and she is employed by him as a private investigator and a bartender, according to a criminal complaint.
He was driving her home early Friday when the two argued and she pushed Fair's face, according to the complaint. Fair then grabbed her by the throat and began to punch her while squeezing her throat, according to the woman, who is pregnant.
Fair is - surprise, surprise - a Democrat, one who worked to elect Barack Obama president. Sometimes, party affiliation isn't worth reporting. As we've seen time and again.

Anytime I see a story like this I always run the name through the search engine on the leftist website democratic underground to see what they are saying. I just did it. One thread, two comments. Neither comment mentioned his party either. And while the story is poppin' fresh. it will likely get few, if any, additional comments there. They rarely do.

Gee, I haven't thought of that site in quite a while. Gotta be just the stalwart wackos left over there in the Age of Obama.

if it was a Republican, they would have put it in the headline or first sentence, so you can assume it's a Democrat. I also asked them to find me an exception. They never did, and they are grownups now!
I also taught them to read any longish newspaper article "upside down". Start with the last few paragraphs, where you will find the stuff that could not be left out, but the editors wouldn't mind if you overlooked.
Politician chokes pregnant woman

Whenever you see a story about a politician that has broken a law and you don't see party affiliation mentioned, it is a Democrat. Further evidence in this case is the fact that he was choking a pregnant woman, which may have led to the termination of said pregnancy. Democrat politicians hate to see babies carried to term. The only way you will know that these politicians are Democrats is to do the research yourself. I always do and in 95% of the cases that don't mention party affiliation, it's a Democrat.
