A Denver news channel is reporting this morning that a Colorado delegate, 29-year-old attorney Gabriel Nathan Schwartz, was robbed during the RNC after bringing a woman back to his room at Hotel Ivy. He reportedly took the woman to his swank Minneapolis hotel room where she made him drinks and told him to get undressed. It was around 4 a.m., and the delegate told police disrobing was “the last thing he remembered.” The alleged woman snatched a $30,000 watch, a $20,000 ring, a necklace valued at $5,000, earrings priced at $4,000 and a Prada belt valued at $1,000, Minneapolis police told the station.
Before bringing the woman back to his room the early morning of September 4, Schwartz talked about his “vision for change” with Link TV. He’s a McCain supporter because he wants less taxes, more war, and to “bomb Iran, baby!” What would a war with Iran look like? Massive bombings from the sky, he says. And then we’d go in, “plant a flag, and take the oil and the money.” Charming. Can you say payback is a bitch? Check out the video interview after the jump:

What a douchebag. Inarticulate jackass. Could he string more than two sentences together. The interviewer is clearly trying to contain his disbelief of what he was hearing.
Which is not to say that the d-bag deserved to be robbed or that the theft was in any way not illegal. I bet the chick who took him didn't even know how much it was all worth.
But yeah. Douchebag.

You guys are assholes for posting it like this. Payback is coming to your sorry asses. It's called Karma and you just F-ed yourself.

Yes, karma does work in mysterious ways, doesn't it? People who are selfish, greedy and blindly support violence against millions of innocent people often end up getting their own in the end. Yep, that is called “karma,” it would seem. Of course, I'm not talking about penance paid or karma in this case specifically–the guy had a few measly materialistic items supposedly snagged. Is a friggin' Prada belt really worth millions of lives?
But I digress.Thank you for enlightening me to the true meaning of “karma,” Mr./Ms. My Ass, which it seems has its way this week of paying back those who were greedy and served to deflate the economy. Indeed, it really DOES work in mysterious ways!
But back to your original point, Re: Independent my ass and me being “an asshole for posting it like this.”
“Independent” does not mean filtering out the truth. Schwartz was in town for a convention, where he gave this stunning interview posted above and supposedly was robbed. He said it all himself. I just gathered the info and posted what he said. Perhaps you'd like it better if I posted it without the real facts, thereby making it more palatable and up to your standards of half-truths.

Look at the interviewer in this segment. He pauses after the man states “They (Israel) don't threaten the world”, as if the interviewer doesn't believe that statement. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't even mind a Nuclear Iran.
The Minnesota Democrat is more like it. If you really think this site is “independent” then I feel sorry for you. Compare how many stories criticize the republican ticket to the democrats and tell me this site is “fair”. Also, I know this will be painful for some to admit, but a nuclear Iran does threaten Israel — their leaders calling for the obliteration of them and all.

I agree that the robbery was wrong and shouldn't be celebrated.
With all due respect, stating douchebag ad nauseam is not exactly articulate either.

So you think this one guy adequately represents the views of the Republican party? Ouch.

How did we “F” ourselves for finding this somewhat comical? You are right, it is called karma and that is what he gets for being ignorant, not to mention hypocritical. Why is it fine and dandy for Israel and the U.S. to have nuclear weapons but not Iran? Ethnocentric maybe? Never.
I didn't steal his stuff, nor did I have anything to do with the person that did. It’s pretty simple; he is a jerk, something bad happened to him, end of story. So, tell me why I am F'ed again?

If this guy really wants war, he should suit up. Trade in that Prada for a web belt…get deployed and maybe replace one of my friends in Iraq (on his third tour) so he can come home and his mother can stop holding her breath. Every time some fool tells me how great it is to have our people fighting some foreign war that’s really not about anything (other than profits) my response is always, suit up - or shut up. It’s always easier to be macho when it ain’t your ass on the line.

Apart from the Schadenfreude I feel when a right-wing whack job “get his” — and things like this make me believe there IS a God — I am reminded of the lyrics of an old Oscar Brand ballad about the perils facing guys looking for adventure in our Minneapolis sister city of Winnipeg:
With apologies in advance to my Canadian friends, and to all who may find this sexist or poor taste, I think it went something like this:
My first trip up the Chippeway River,
My first trip to Canadian shore,
There I met young Miss O’Flanagan,
Commonly known as the Winnipeg Whore.
She took my arm and led me quickly,
To the place she used for sleep.
Dirty old room with straw-filled mattress,
Wasn’t too clean — but she sure was cheap!
Well, she was as slick as a slippery mullet,
And I didn’t know what she was about,
‘Til I missed my watch and my wallet,
“Holy Moses!” I called out
Then up ran the whores and the sons-of-a-bitches,
Up to the tune of “Forty or More.”
Took my coat, my shoes and my britches,
And away they went high-tailin’ out of the door.
Yes in Winnipeg I learned my lesson,
I learned it good ’cause I learned it there:
If you’re gonna visit a Winnipeg whore, boys,
Better make sure that you visit her BARE!
