Typical Teabagging: John Loudon Accuses St. Louis DA of Massive Coverup Based on No Evidence

Former Republican State Senator John Loudon today wrote a piece for Big Government accusing St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCullough of a massive cover-up of a "gang assault" during the August 6 altercation between Kenneth Gladney and Elston McCowan. As I detailed yesterday, the facts about the case are still in question, and the only evidence the teabaggers have is the testimony of their own members, and their testimony is inconsistent with the video. But that doesn't stop Loudon from suggesting a massive government cover-up that can be linked to everyone from President Obama to HCAN director Margarida Jorge to St. Louis County Executive Charlie Dooley. If you believe the teabaggers, this appears to be a cover-up conducted by every single member of the Democratic Party.

A couple things to say about Loudon's blog post. First, he can't write. How the hell did this guy get elected to be a State Senator? Second, and more to the point, it is absolutely absurd that he would accuse a public official of a cover-up (even going so far as to compare the county officials to mobsters from the movie Goodfellas) based on no credible evidence. Does Loudon know what other investigation has gone into the case? Does he know that there are at least four other people at the scene who have testimony that would probably be directly at odds with that of the teabaggers? Does he realize that this would mean that there are four people who tell the teabagger side of the story, and four who tell a different story and absolutely no material evidence? In fact, the police report notes that Gladney has *no* facial injuries.

This post is a great example of what would happen if teabaggers ruled the world. They have no respect for allowing the legal system to work cases out on their own. They rush to judgments based on flimsy evidence from people who share their political beliefs, and ignore all else. In fact, they're willing to leak police reports and information to national media outlets in blatant attempts to bias the public about the case. If I were McCullough or Dooley, I would sue Loudon for libel. I would also investigate who leaked the police report to Glenn Beck. It is disgraceful that the local teabaggers are trying to subvert the justice system, and someone should put a stop to it.
