DeLay-organized Goons Attack, Shut Down Democratic Press Conference

Nick Lampson, who was supposed to be Tom DeLay’s opponent in November, was going to have a press conference today. DeLay’s supporters were sent this e-mail by one of his aides:

We would meet tomorrow morning at 9:45 am on the first floor of the parking garage attached to the Marriott. Please get folks to call our campaign office 281.343.1333 and let us know they can do it – or e-mail Leonard Cash (in the cc field above) so that we can get some head count. Let’s give Lampson a parting shot that wrecks his press conference.

The result was a violent disruption forcing Lampson’s press conference to shut down.
