Conspiracy-monger and WorldNetDaily columnist Jack Cashill has apparently found a new hobby: getting involved with Kansas City politics.
The Kansas City Star reports that Mayor Mark Funkhouser is naming Cashill to a “Citizen Advisory Committee to Review Police Officer Disciplinary Procedures,” despite lack of apparent qualifications to serve on such a board. Indeed, Cashill’s expertise runs more toward helping criminals avoid responsibility for their crimes.
As we’ve detailed, Cashill praised the murder of Kansas abortion doctor George Tiller as frontier justice, and has worked to exonerate the killer of a gay man in San Francisco by endeavoring to blame the victim and hiding the facts about the case.
Someone who has shown disdain for the law is probably not the right person to stand in judgment of the police.
Cashill has previously touted Funkhouser in his WND column as a “maverick Democrat” who ignored complaints about a member of the anti-immigrant Minuteman group he named to a city board. (The white supremacist American Renaissance website found this worth clipping.)
Perhaps Cashill’s new appointed position is just payback for those kind words.
