A campaign organized group "Lawyers for Billion" are having a fundraiser for their man, Jack Billion.
You'd think that list would be longer, wouldn't you?

I might be wrong, but I think those are just the ones co-hosting the event.

I thought Maryann Giebink already hit up all the attorneys for their money for her campaign?

After a sucide bomber rocked Tel Aviv killing at least 9 people on April 14, 2006 the reaction from a former Democratic Senator is unbelievable! Gateway Pundit related that Former Democratic Senator James George Abourezk speaks of “Freedom Fighters” and the “Evils of Zionism”! The Former Democratic Senator says… “There is nothing left for them (Palestinians) to do except to commit acts of terrorism.”
He says this even after Hamas was elected into office, an organization which American refuses to deal with and is on their terrorist list. These people kill innocent people yet this guy backs them up?!
I wonder if he feels the same way about the terrorists who blew up the Trade Center? I mean they werent getting anywhere with our state department so did they have to resort to terrorism too?
This is the problem with some of the Democrats in this country, they decide to take the side of terrorists rather then the groups who can actually help prevent more terror attacks. If they continue on this course when a Democrat is elected president again it will only lead to the possible impending doom of our country.
Lets try and stand up for the people who agree with our policies of peace and individual freedoms and stop standing up for people who kill innocents.
Jack Billion is being supported by a guy who supports Palestinian Terrorists. Abourezk doesn't know the difference between real terrorists and those who suffer at the hands of evil doers.
We should all call on Jack Billion to renounce Abourezk and de-invite him. Because currently Billion is being supported by a guy who supports Palistinean Terrorists.

"that's why the voters canned him."
Annon 9:50 is an idiot. Abourezk never lost an election in SD.

9:37 you must be a Democrat. You talk about policies of peace and individual freedom. Obviously not talking about our GOP run country today.
If you haven't noticed, we're at war, and Bush has declared war on individual freedom - declaring that the executive branch can spy on anyone it wants, whenever it wants, without any oversight by the court system (e-mails, phone records, internet records) and can imprison anyone it wants - even American citizens without trial and without court oversight.
9:50, you can't dispute Abourezk's statement that Israel has grabbed land. In 1948 when Israel was formed, Arabs were chased out of their homes under threat of death, and never allowed to return - which is why they continue living in refugee camps today. Israel attacked Syria and Egypt in 1967 and seized the West Bank, Golan heights and Gaza Strip among other areas. This is also when Israel viciously attacked an American warship the USS Liberty and attempted to sink it.
There are many who believe that Israel could live in peace and security if it reverts to its pre-1967 border (before the land grab) and does justice to the Palestinians by allowing them their own autonomous state. This is the stated policy of the United States, the European Union, and the United Nations. Not just something Jim Abourezk made up.
There is an adage, you can't have peace without justice.

10:08 Abourezk did lose an election in SD. He lost his first election for attorney general in 1968. Two years later he was elected to congress in the first district representing the west part of the state. Two years after that he was elected to the Senate. He retired from the senate and never ran for office again.

I believe that should say "rabid" anti-semite, he's not real fast any more.
9:50 - that's pretty out of line and borders on being libelous.
Please refrain from comments such as jew-hater and anti-semite.

It says underneath the list of lawyers "invite you...." That's a good indication that those people are the ones who are hosting the event and not the only lawyers who support Billion.
After all, there has to be more smart attorneys than that in our state!

Brandon, or whatever your name is, You are at the point where you believe you know everything.
With luck, you will someday come to realize how much knowledge is out there that you don't currently possess.

According to your logic, Brandon, when the Native American family comes and drags you out of your home and moves in, you will not protest because the Native Americans owned the land first and it is their right to reclaim your home even though your home wasn't there when the Native Americans possessed the land.
You will not fight back because to do so would make you a terrorist. You will just go quietly to your refugee camp.
Brandon, you say you like a good debate. But so far you have accused me of not doing my research. You have called me ignorant (twice) and stupid. Do you want a debate or just a name-calling match? You won't find the answer to that question on google.

PP:
what would you call somebody who wants to see jewish people blown up? It's not out of line to call someone a jew hater if they want to see them blown up. Abourezk acknowledges that, “There is nothing left for them (Palestinians) to do except to commit acts of terrorism.”
What if I said "there is nothing left to do but blow somebody up because I am frustrated with them." That would generally mean I hate them. Wanting to blow people up is to hate them...it certainly is not to love them.
It's not libel if you are making a good faith argument based on an interpretation of someone's comments.

Interesting thread:
Read the South Dakota Supreme Court case of Janklow v. Viking Press. Janklow sued the publishing company because a book was written which claimed that Janklow raped a woman. This claim was based on reports from the reservation where it allegedly took place.
If Janklow can't get a court to agree with him when he's called a rapist Abourezk certainly wouldn't be able to get a court to agree with him based on his own statements that can be construed in the way which the opposing writer wrote them.
We don't even have to get to the merits of Abourezks statements to dismiss this thing.
Besides Abourezk has made many statements as a public official that fall in line with what the writer above reported.
Also interesting is that this forum is dedicated to political speech. Which is given high deference by the courts, and speech is not immune from the grasp of libel it certainly is given wide lattitude.
Libel, hardly...inflamatory certainly...true...well, it's been reported you decide.

Which brings us back, Brandon, to the 12:00 am comment.

So is Susan Heidepriem a Dem or Arep. I remeber a ad where she said as a life long Rep I am voting for Tom. Now she is co hosting a event for Billion. Their is nothing wrong with being a Dem so why not just say it?

Like many other moderates, Susan Heidepriem has now left the Republican Party.
(Click on letter to enlarge) And while it may not be printed at taxpayer expense, I don't see a disclaimer, either. When they hold the special session (supposedly at the end of November) , since he's left them already, I think his colleagues should expel him from the caucus. Sure. At that point it's only going to be symbolic. But since he's already said he's running again in the near future, sometimes symbolism is enough.
Here's some of the information on the Corson County Charges: COUNT I That on or about December of 2005, in the County of Corson, State of South Dakota, Ted Alvin Klaudt did commit the public offense of SECOND DEGREE RAPE (SDCL 22-22-1(2)) in that he did accomplish an act of sexual penetration with his foster daughter, A.M., through the use of force or coercion; and as to COUNT II That on or about July or August of 2006, in the County of Corson, State of South Dakota, Ted Alvin Klaudt did commit the public offense of SECOND DEGREE RAPE (SDCL 22-22-1(2)) in that he did accomplish an act of sexual penetration with his foster daughter, A.M., through the use of force or coercion; and as to COUNT III That on or about July or August of 2006, in the County of Corson, State of South Dakota, Ted Alvin Klaudt did commit the public offense of SECOND DEGREE RAPE (SDCL 22-22-1(2)) in that he did accomplish an act of sexual penetration, separate and distinct from the act alleged in Count II, with
As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on
