Pomeroy Campaign Lies About NDSU Kerfuffle

Rob Port  •  September 2, 2010

Yesterday I posted about a press release sent out by the College Republicans indicating that the Earl Pomeroy campaign had contacted the university to try and get officials there to shut down a display put up by students criticizing the nine-term incumbent.

Last night I actually called and spoke with North Dakota College Republican chairman Jeremy Douglas who related to me the entire story in detail. Douglas was clear that university officials said that the Pomeroy campaign had called and requested that the display be taken down.

But today the Associated Press quotes Pomeroy campaign staffer Brendan Timpe (who had to leave Pomeroy’s campaign office after he was caught violating election regulations) as saying that the campaign didn’t request that the display be taken down:

Pomeroy spokesman Brenden Timpe says several Pomeroy supporters complained about the display, so the campaign asked NDSU officials to check into it.

Timpe says no one asked to have the booth removed.

That’s a lie.

If the Pomeroy campaign wasn’t trying to shut down the display, why would they call the university?

According to the College Republicans, university officials were very appropriate and said explicitly that they told the Pomeroy campaign that it was a free speech issue and that they could only request that the display be taken down and not require it.

The Pomeroy campaign just compounded the stupidity of this issue. First they tried to bully some college students into taking down a display that’s critical of their candidate, then they lied about it.

And I maintain that this is more indicative of just how much trouble Pomeroy is in than any poll. In any other election year the Pomeroy campaign would be on cruise control expecting to glide in for an easy victory. This year they’ve yet to lead in a single poll taken in the race and they’re getting their collective panties in a twist over some silly display made by college students.

    Say bye bye Earl! It really does speak about Earl's nervousness. It's about time this guy has to answer for all the lies he's told for 20 yrs. Don't let me down ND!!!!

  • http://ndgoon.blogspot.com goon48

    I am not sure how he can lie about this?

  • http://thecurrent9171787.blogspot.com/ John Carey

    Earl has been lying to us foe years. Its just now more evident because he is behind in the polls.

  • jimmypop

    im guessing earl personally had no idea about this at all. maybe hes this stupid, but i really, really doubt it.

    regardless, this further validates my concept that hes got nobody helping him this time. dnc resources and staff are being allocated in places where resources never needed to be used before…….. places like california. that leaves people like earl out in the cold. those that are left to help him out have no idea how to do this.

    being left to hang alone has got to make a liberal lap dog like earl saying ' barry and nancy, i got on my knees and did whatever you asked. how can you leave me like this?'

      Maybe. Might have been local campaigners overreacting. Even so, the buck stops with him in his campaign.

      • jimmypop

        of that there is no doubt. again, i think its more telling of his support this time…meaning….none.

  • truth harvestor

    Once again , does this past the 'fairness' test ? Had the tables been reversed and the republicans found a democratic group running a silly ,even stupid, booth at NDSU would the republicans be outraged ? Damn right they would! Democrats find an obscene poster attacking the president in the public building of Bismarck and Republicans fall all over themselves defending it! No moral code exists here in the minds of those who blog here. As I said a thousand times before here ,when the GOP was spending in the red and doing it with zest, NO ONE here found it upsetting. So now YOU guys are lying if you deny it!

    • jimmypop

      "would the republicans be outraged ?"
      the republican college kids, yes. the actual leadership, Lord, no! a bunch of kids doing something stupid should not draw one look from a real campaign. a phone call to a college campus asking them to take it down shows how weak even his supporters think he is.

    No. Because it was a small, silly little display.

  • John

    I am curious Rob, how can you be sure Timpe is a liar and Douglas is telling you the truth? Did either of them take a polygraph? Rob, while I used to enjoy following your blogs, as of late they are begining to stink of NDGOP "goood old boy" partisan politics. Unfortunately, the number of truel Republicans in ND is drying up quickly.

    Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

  • http://www.pr9.e-meblesosnowe.pl szafy na zamowienie

    The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

  • http://www.pr10.e-meblesosnowe.pl meble kuchenne

    Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

  • http://www.pr1.e-meblesosnowe.pl krzesla

    Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
