Toujours aucun mots de la delicieuse geek Georgy Russell :-(

"Georgy Russell aime les logiciels libres et la politique. A 26 ans,
cette ingénieure informaticienne est candidate démocrate pour le poste
de gouverneur de Californie, mis au suffrage le 7 octobre prochain. Face
au gouverneur sortant Gray Davis ou au candidat républicain Arnold
Schwarzenegger, elle propose un programme "libéral" et souhaite
promouvoir Linux. Pour sa campagne, Georgy Russel utilise massivement
internet, qui lui a permis de lever des fonds et de créer un certain
engouement."
Personne pour commenter le fait que c'est dans la poche ? Schwarzy est le nouveau gouverneur de Californie...
Tant mieux pour lui.

Gubernatorial Candidate Roughed up At Arnold Rally
Gubernatorial candidate Georgy Russell was pushed, shoved, hit and kicked yesterday by supporters of Arnold Schwarzenegger at a rally in Pleasanton CA. She was repeatedly called a "bitch" and one of the Arnold Supporters wrote on her clothing with a permanent marking pen. The felonious abusers, who claimed to be provoked by remarks from Russell, were near equal numbers of men and women and no one during the incident came to Russell's aid. Schwarzeneggar and his wife Maria Shriver witnessed the attack and neither said or did anything to stop the abuse.
Russell, while disgusted with the behavior, thinks Arnold and his supporters deserve each other. "Some of Arnold's supporters apparently do not hesitate when it comes to using violence to accomplish their goals. It's not surprising that they support and defend a candidate who has manifested poor judgment and aggressive behavior most of his adult life. The behavior exhibited by Arnold's supporters is not simply an aberration, it is an MO that has it's roots at the top; it is reminiscent of the behavior of the thugs that were bussed in by Republicans during the Florida recount to perform much the same role as the bullies of yesterday and while that is no surprise to me I am nonetheless sickened by it all. This bully mentality was exhibited by Arnold in the debate in his rude treatment of Arianna Huffington and that the press offered little to no criticism of his behavior opened the door wide and gave a green light to his supporters to follow suit."
This trend towards violence is becoming a near prevailing attitude in the Schwarzenengger camp. At the Modesto stop, the emcee suggested that someone find the LA Times reporter and "beat him up." In Pleasanton, Arnold supporters blocked cameras to keep photographers from taking shots of Code Pink protesters.
Russell escaped with only minor bruises and scratches and in her now trademark wit she said of the fan who wrote on her clothing. "I find it quite ironic, and somewhat entertaining, that Arnold's fan used his pen to cross out on my shirt 'Brains, Beauty, Leadership,^Ò all traits Arnold himself lacks."
Attached is an email from a witness to the attacks, apologizing for the abusive behavior of Arnold supporters, sent to the Georgy for Governor campaign this morning.
--------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 5 Oct 2003 06:28:26 EDT To: Subject: Oct. 4 Arnold rally
I was at the Arnold Schwarzenegger rally today (Oct. 4), and saw a one of your supporters yelling at Arnold, calling him a groper as well as a lot of other things. Although it is well within her rights to do this, I don't agree with this method of trying to get your point across, as it is rude and inconsiderate of others trying to listen to what Arnold had to say. I then saw her getting pushed around throughout the crowd, then I saw someone write something on her back. I tried to make my way over there to stop people from harming her anymore but, she had already made her way to another part of the crowd that wasn't as hostile. I would like to apologize for the actions that some of the other Arnold supporters took in trying to shut her up. I haven't yet made up my mind as to who I'm voting for on Tuesday but, because this woman seemed so passionate about this campaign and took that kind of abuse to get her point across, all the while keeping her chin high. I will read through your website and see what you have to offer this state.
P.S. was that woman OK? Did she get hurt at all?
