Tea Party spokesman Michael Kobulnicky arrested in sex assault case

There are some news stories that just make me nod my head -- and say, "Of course."

This seems to be totally in keeping with one of the messages of "The Tea Party" --- "do things MY WAY -- or ELSE!".

What other reason would they have for carrying semi-auto rifles and pistols, along with revolvers to "peaceful demonstrations" where they worked very hard to intimidate their fellow citizens?

Bullies, rapists, over-privileged, "poor set upon White Men" - often old - railing against the same "Gubbment" that pays for their healthcare (Medicare), and daily expenses (Social Security).

Oh yeah -- they usually campaigned against "Gubbment handouts" (for others, of course).

SAN DIEGO -- Police arrested a prominent local political activist in connection to a recent Fiesta Island sex assault on Thursday. Michael Kobulnicky, the public relations spokesperson for the San Diego Tea Party, was arrested Thursday afternoon in front of his home, according to Lt. Anastasia Smith with the San Diego Police Department.

Kobulnicky is accused of a Feb. 25 abduction and sexual assault of a 56-year-old woman who was walking home near Linda Vista Road in Fiesta Island. The woman was pulled into a car and assaulted, then left on the island, police said.

Surveillance footage of the area near the assault gave police evidence to pursue a suspect. They released a picture of the suspect to the public, and many identified the suspect as Kobulnicky, police said.

Kobulnicky was booked into San Diego Central Jail on numerous felony charges, including kidnapping, sexual assault and sex with a foreign object.

A statement from the San Diego Tea Party said Kabulnicky has been on hiatus since January for personal reasons and has been relieved from his Tea Party duties during legal proceedings.

"Our hearts and our thoughts go out to the victim," read the statement.
