NH Democrats: The Party of Perverts?

We don’t usually waste much time on this stuff, because we know the public is already aware of the morally bankrupt and constitutionally challenged behavior of the far left in NH.

But this has gotta take the cake.

Apparently, Representative Dick Patten, (D) has been issued a restraining order which forbids him from going near a 20-year old boy after the boy accused Patten of harassment.

According to the Monitor, “In the petition, the man, who lives in the same mobile home park as Patten, said Patten, 60, had befriended him in November, during a low point in the man’s life and was initially friendly. He said Patten gradually made him feel uncomfortable by trying to kiss him and touch him on the leg, “fairly close to the crotch.” According to the man’s petition, the physical activity occurred when the man asked to borrow money from Patten.”

And “Patten, a Concord Democrat, is serving his second term in the Legislature and is also a member of the city council. After learning of the stalking petition yesterday, the state Republican Party called on House Speaker Terie Norelli, a Portsmouth Democrat, to investigate the matter.

“The stalking order of protection filed against . . . Patten is extremely troubling and raises very serious questions that he must address immediately,” read a press release from Matthew Slater, executive director of the state GOP. “As a Concord city councilor and a member of the Legislature, Rep. Patten has an obligation to discuss this disturbing issue openly and honestly with his constituents.”

We understand how scary it can be when Dems are on a mission — we’ve had to take out restraining orders on some of them ourselves in the past — but these actions follow a bizarre pattern that should be condemned by his party.

We rather doubt he’ll be taken to task for all this. In fact, we wouldn’t be at all surprised if the Dems weren’t already lining him up to be their next Chair!
