Vermont Ties to the New Hampshire GOP Dirty Trick Phone Jamming?

From Odum at Green Mountain Daily:

The folks at the controversial blog Blier Watch are back with a splash. It seems the long-elusive missing link between Vermont and the felonious New Hampshire phone-jamming scandal, whereby Republicans intentionally jammed the GOTV calls of the Democratic Party (former NH GOP Executive Director Chuck McGee went to prison for it), is - Kevin Blier. According to NH's Union-Leader, Vermont's local Religious Right wannabe-big dog (Blier heads the Center for American Cultural Renewal - you know, Rich Tarrant's crowd) was very much in the know:
    In the FBI interview report (also from the Talking Points Memo Document Collection) the then Executive Director for the NH Republican State Committee, Charles "Chuck" McGee, "believes that he told... Kevin Blier," among others who McGee called his confidants, "about the idea" to jam the phones at NH Democratic Regional Offices for the purpose of disrupting their communications on the forthcoming Election Day (see pgs 4 & 6 of the FBI interview docs).
Skanky. But that these people have ties to Tarrant is sadly no surprise.

Funny.. just got more spam from Rich Tarrant's campaign asking me to help Vermont. But I am. I'm trying to keep Tarrant out of office.
