one thing i've found interesting about the lauten circus is how many people ( on other forums ) are under the belief that her first amendment rights were violated.

Really. Be more dishonest next time. Because your side is always right. The other side is always wrong. They do bad, inappropriate things that your side never does.
In other words, you don't have anything. OK. Could have left it at that.

Agree.

I think criticism of a President's parents or children should be off limits.

Hey there is no defending this woman's remarks but now it's OK to make things up- where the felony?


Right from your link-
"Lauten was arrested in December 2000 for misdemeanor larceny"

You ought to read links before posting them (that's assuming it wasn't vicious just like Lauten's comments were).

Mods should delete the thread due to this gross inaccuracy of the OP's accusation.
I pointed that out in post #4 but no one seems to care.

Since when is criticizing how someone dresses/acts a crime? By the way, nice way to cheapen a horrible physical and emotional assault by lumping it in with fashion critiques.

I wonder if she will get picked up by FAUX News. Roger likes blonde bimbos, and she certainly fits the description.

1) Her comments were way out of line.

2) Shoplifting is not a felony at least in the vast majority of cases/states. In fact, in the article you linked to, OP, it says her charge was "misdemeanor larceny" (this is a direct quote...people, please read what you link to).

I remember how Amy Carter used to catch hell; same with Chelsea Clinton; someone called 911 when the Bush girls walked into a bar.........uh! The cartoons, and on and on....

I'm no fan of Obama, but the girls are innocent.

There, she was responsible for planning and executing best-in-class digital monitoring and engagement strategies. Before joining Purple, Lauten served as Press Secretary for Congressman Joe Walsh (R-IL). There she led an award-winning press shop as the Congressman’s spokeswoman, managing all communications and social media.

...So, it seems to me she has done pretty well and I expect that the world will continue to hear her very worthwhile views on things.
I think perhaps her judge would have been pleased ;she has certainly done more than most teen criminals to redeem herself. But as always some just like Nixon ;like Hoover want to smear.Even to the felony add on. Lots of Nixon's and Hoover out there these days. The ends justify the means type; always around.
