Dems lie that people die

The NH Democrat party sent out a mailer in the non-partisan (Yuk Yuk) Manchester mayoral race. The flier claims that murders in Manchester are up 33%. They are not. No more people have died this year than last year or the year before. Further - half of the murders this year were the murder half of murder suicides. How is a mayor supposed to know when someone will snap and murder their spouse (or domestic partner)?

This could be written off as figures never lie but liars always figure if it were assumed they were comparing the first 9 months of 2007 against 3/4 of the previous years, but that is not a valid comparison when the total number of murders per year is so low to begin with. There is no valid reason for the Democrats to assume there will be 1.3 more murders this year. (BTW - is that a pregnant woman in the first trimester?)

It is no surprise that the Democrats want to pretend there is some crisis in Manchester - they don't know what to do without a crisis - real or a lie!

The next question to ask did any of Hillary's dirty money pay for the distribution of these lies? Was this Hsu money? Or did it come from an illegal immigrant busboy?
