dice Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 The following was emailed early today to 6,000 voters in ward 3 and placed on numerous blogs: Back in August 2005 when I announced my candidacy by placing announcements on various blogs, message boards and the like, I started being attacked with some very vicious allegations that I was an ex-convict with a record of pedophilia, spousal abuse and more. I did not know who was doing it. I hired an IT guy out of Springfield, Virginia to help track down the culprit and he did. We discovered that despite the various screen names, the IP ADDRESS were all the same as the IP ADDRESS belonging to SAM BROOKS. I was then informed that when SAM BROOKS ran for office previously, there was a lesser smear campaign launched by SAM BROOKS against Kwame Brown and Harold Brazil. Since BROOKS became aware that we had discovered his little game, he has not stopped with his efforts to smear me and continues it day in and day out but now hides his IP ADDRESS behind a proxy address and he uses a long string of various screen names. About two months ago in order to get some media attention; Brooks began a smear campaign against himself to make it look like someone was calling him a racist. He then took that lie to the Washington Post, Washington Blade and Washington Examiner knowing he was lying to them. They all gave him a small story. My concern is, since there is a record of BROOKS smearing his rivals in past efforts and now me, I wonder what he might have in store for other candidates that are soon to enter the race once they erect a web page and go full blast with their campaigns. BROOKS continues to demand a debate and when I keep on refusing it, the very same day I refuse, the attacks on me intensify with allegations that I am not a real candidate, that I am obstructing real candidates to enter the race and I am denying voters a chance to hear the candidates on the issues. SAM BROOKS\' campaign manager is ANC Commissioner Tamela Gordon but I do not think she is aware of what he is doing. Of recent, SAM BROOKS is getting help in his smear campaign from one of his former lovers Martin Austermuhle who is a writer for the blog known as DCist. Austermuhle has always given Brooks coverage on his blog but never offered it to Brazil, Brown and etcetera. Three nights ago, it was placed all over the internet that SAM BROOKS & COMPANY was behind the smear campaign and it was very detailed. As a result of this, two blogs shut down and all went running to delete all postings that might have been placed by BROOKS and the some 27 alias names he has used, his partner in crime Martin Austermuhle has panicked and become very silent. The only reason I bring this to your attention is, I think the candidates want a clean campaign but based upon what I have experienced to date, BROOKS so far in his short political career does not want that and has smeared every rival he has faced. I believe that if we do not entertain him, he will become very upset and the attacks will continue but he does this to get attention and name recognition. If you look at his website, he claims that he has already gotten over $12k in campaign contributions which I believe is untrue unless it is his own money or was given to him by his family. LOOSE LIPS of the Washington City Paper has a problem with BROOKS in that BROOKS may not in truth live in Ward 3 and more. In sum, this is sad what he is doing and I hope all other candidates do not become his next target and that we not give him what he wants so badly and that is, a series of debates where Martin Austermuhle has offered to sponsor such along with other allies of BROOKS.

bfrankdc Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Posted from the IP address: 67.15.228.40, the same IP addressed used by "Angela Brannon" on 1/4/2006. This is a "Hostingshack.net" proxy IP address. This is getting way old, but I like the way the rocord continues to build. By the way, your IT guy doesn't know jack, because I am not Sam Brooks, haven't met Sam Brooks, and don't care about Sam Brooks. I will also look forward to the Slander and Libel suits lining up against you, particularly from the people you name in your post. Also, what are the two blogs that shut down? Please name them and provide links, as I do not believe this is true as you claim. B.

dice Posted January 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Let me say again. You are stupid. People who run for public office cannot sue anyone for what is said about them but anything a candidate says about you, you cannot sue him. Did you not know that you knucklehead!
