Dirty Politics: Charlotte's Underworld Hungrily Awaits The DNC

Creative Loafing:

The VIP section of a popular nightclub in Charlotte was booming on a Thursday night in mid-June, as well-dressed weeknight revelers passed around top-shelf bottles of liquor, small bags of cocaine and Molly, a purified form of ecstasy.

this article is contrary to the standards of HP journalism, it should be taken down, ASAP...
I don't get to make comments like this, you shouldn't publish misleading stuff...IMHO

This is why the war on drugs is lost.. The very deal makers and shakers at the heads of Government, the financial districts and the Corporations are the biggest bibbers.

Please...do you have any clue what a sex hole Tampa, FL is??? Look for every Republican with a sex drive to be out in the clubs.

Please... I was joking. As a matter of fact when the Republicans go to Tampa I'll post the same type thing about Republicans on the right wing sites I read.

This reporter must have had a hell of a time justifying this on his expense report...unless it was paid for by the Koch brothers, in which case he probably got rich off it.

To say that I don't appreciate this article using a picture of Obama as the avatar is an understatement. I also await the similar article with Romney's face + discussing the RNC's expected boost to seedy Tampa Bay local activity.

A Romney avatar getting a lap dance and him placing a hundred dollar bill in her g string bikini?

So how did you get this info? Did the "Underworld" send out a press release?

Of course they did, and they gave the exclusive to Fox News. You would have seen it yesterday but there was the Zimmerman interview and the alien in the White House story that had no shelf life and had to be used immediately.

You mean that right wing Republican red states have crime? an "Underworld" . I am shocked.

I am even more shocked that this "Underworld of Crime" has hired a PR firm to do advance advertising of its intentions.

Kinda defeats the whole idea of having an "Underworld" or even the term "Under"

But I suppose the idea and meme behind this article is that somehow the Dems and Obama are responsible for crime in Charllote North Carolina.

A pretty stupid proposition. Even on HP

Those are the small businesses the right is trying to protect.
