Congressman Hinchey Violently Attacks Kingston Freeman Reporter

H/t Robin Yess and hotair.com



George Phillips has questioned Congressman Maurice Hinchey's involvement in a real estate project in Saugerties called the Partition Street project.  Hinchey has long claimed that he has brought "pork" to the Ulster County economy.  The problem with this claim is that the Ulster County economy's growth has been zero since Hinchey was elected.  While the rest of the nation has gained 20% in employment, Ulster County's employment number has not grown at all; it has been two percent over Hinchey's eighteen year tenure.  The stagnant economy is directly related to the regulation and high taxes, and specifically the environmental regulation that Hinchey has put into place.  In other words, Hinchey has directly cost Ulster County 17,000 jobs.  Stupidly, he has been advertising that he has brought 1,000 "green" jobs into the county.  Given that the county's job growth has been nearly zero, Hinchey appears to be unable to figure out that a gain of 1,000 jobs compared to a loss of 18,000 jobs yields the result of his 18 years in office: a loss of 17,000 jobs. Moreover, and even more disgustingly, Hinchey and his cronies appear to have benefited financially from many of the "pork" projects that he paradoxically claims have helped the Ulster County economy.  Paradoxically because the Ulster County economy has underperformed the national economy by 20% over Hinchey's 18 year tenure.

Hinchey started out life as a Saugerties "tough guy" with a pack of cigarettes tucked in his rolled up shirt sleeve.  In the video above, Hinchey's aggressive, authoritarian nature shines through.  Authoritarianism is linked to antisemitism, of which Ed Koch has recently accused Hinchey.  It is not surprising, then, that Hinchey actually became violent following the above video clip and physically attacked left-wing Kingston Freeman reporter Bill Kemble.  According to hotair.com:

After the shooters turned off their cameras and started to break down, Hinchey made a beeline for Kemble and got in his face, according to a YNN videographer who was on the scene. The congressman poked Kemble in the chest aggressively, according to the YNN staffer.
I spoke with Kemble briefly this afternoon, and he told me Hinchey “put his hand on my throat” and then “realized what he had done and walked away.” The YNN shooter told me he did not witness this part of the altercation.

It is amazing and disappointing to my opinion of the electoral process that an individual as ugly as Maurice Hinchey has been given access to the reins of power in Washington.  From the likes of Hinchey totalitarianism is born.

Phillips Trounces Hinchey in Saugerties Debate

George Phillips debated anti-Semitic Congressman Maurice Hinchey in a debate Thursday night.  Phillips must have bolted over there after his dynamic opening speech at the Ulster County Republican Committee dinner.  According to the left-wing Kingston Freeman Hinchey's performance was dismal.  As a member of the House Appropriations Committee Hinchey was unaware that there is a federal deficit and expressed ignorance as to what the implications of increasing deficits might be.

The Ulster County Republican Committee had an excellent turnout for last night's annual dinner.  I didn't make a headcount but there were over 100 people there at $95 per plate. The Hudson Valley Resort and Spa's banquet was good as were the hors d'oeuvres, but the big news of the evening was the keynote speaker, George Phillips.  Given this week's exposure by Ed Koch and American Jewish Congress chairman Ron Lauder that nine-term Ulster County Congressman Maurice Hinchey is an anti-Semite, Phillips got positive news today:  Karl Rove has announced that his American Crossroads organization is going to provide $300,000 in soft money for Phillips's campaign.  This is the best development for freedom since the New York Times's stock price fell to below $5 per share (the tabloid's stock now trades at $8.59, evidence nevertheless that the fourth generation of Ochs Sulzbergers to inherit the tabloid are as inept at business as they are at journalism--the Ochs Sulzbergers are a living argument in favor of their stand on the inheritance tax. The problem is that they always manage to exempt themselves from their inheritance tax proposals).

The speakers at the dinner were excellent. These included Pete Rooney, who's running for Assembly, Fawn Tantillo who's running for county comptroller and  Senators Bonacic and Larkin.   Phillips opened the proceedings with a dynamic speech.  His economically illiterate and antisemitic opponent, Maurice Hinchey, has much to fear.

Hinchey's Anti-Semitism May Cost Him His Seat

Ed Koch's recent endorsement of George Phillips has underscored Congressman Maurice Hinchey's longstanding anti-Israel and anti-Semitic pattern.   Glenda McGee just forwarded a Politico article that mentions Hinchey as one of an unusually large number of threatened Democratic congressional seats this year.  I was just down in Broward County, Florida visiting my dad and noticed a huge number of signs for Allen West, the wonderful Afro-American conservative running down there. Given the atmosphere of disdain for liberal Democrats, Hinchey's anti-Semitism may put the kibosh on his election.
