OC Blog.net slams Minnuteman congressional candidate Jim Gilchrist for supporting Peter Camejo and desire to tax the wealthy.

For entertaining and informative reading on Minuteman Jim Gilchrist and John Campbell supporters go to http://www.ocblog.net/ocblog/2005/10/jim_gilchrist_v.html and read the numerous comments that follow the article below. Gilchrist. Witness the right and more right-wing battle it out in full ironic and hypocritial splendor.

Jim Gilchrist Voted For Peter Camejo for Governor

Jim Gilchrist, self-styled Reagan Republican, voted for Green party candidate Peter Camejo for Governor because he liked Camejo plan to tax "the ultra-wealthy." You can hear this startling admission from Gilchrist in this soundclip.

You can also hear a number of other odd, un-conservative statements by Gilchrist at OC Organizer -- such as his entertaining the possibility of a hybrid amnesty. It may be a left-wing website, but they didn't make Gilchrist say these things.

The Gilchrist candidacy just becomes more bizarre as his handlers try to sell the man as something he isn't, which is unfortunate for the popular upswelling against illegal immigration to the extent that Gilchrist becomes the public face of their movement.
