I have more evidence to support that their readers are Democratic than you do that they are Republican, but that hasnt stopped you from spouting nonsense bs accusations regardless..

Some counties do not sell this information, they will however give them out to individuals running for office in the county.

We're calling them right-wing extremists because they are engaged in extremism associated with right-wing ideology. It doesn't matter if he's a Democrat, Republican, or independent, he's still a right-wing extremist.

Many people on this site have a lot of gall tying to make a big deal out of the fact that one of these Hutaree people was a registered Democrat, then out of the other side of their mouths trying to downplay the fact that this group calls themselves a Christian group. Which is it? Do we judge the Hutaree's by their affiliations---both church and political party--or do we admit that neither fact is important? I, for one, believe that rational individuals see this militia group as just a paranoia bunch fruitcakes and that whatever party or church they call themselves is irrelevant.

Where do you get that blowing things up and killing people is a right wing ideology?

Not sure you can say that blowing things is part of a right wing ideology but... I think you could say that those folks blowing things up or in militias advocating violent opposition is populated by many right wingers.

I'm not suggesting anything. I'm stating unequivocally it's damn suspicious they only manage to learn the affiliation of one man. You are the one making unfounded ASSumptions

We all know what you're implying, baseless though it may be.

Email them and ask or better yet, go on the SOS website and see if you can find the information.

The inescapable FACT is the man is a democrat.

And as I said earlier, I don't give a pooh what political affiliation this person has, he is a member of a demented militia group w/plans to carry out murder. Do you condone that? Or are you too blind-sided by one man's political affiliation?
