Democrat Party Official Joy Johnson Arrested

The lib media drool over scandals involving Republicans, like Sen. Larry Craig and Rep. Mark Foley.

If a Republican is involved in wrongdoing, it's big news.

Generally speaking, when Dems run amok, it doesn't get the same level of attention. Of course, there are exceptions, such as Eliot Spitzer's dramatic downfall. But even then, media don't stress the fact that the scandal involves a Dem. For example, there weren't headlines blaring that DEMOCRAT New York Governor Eliot Spitzer resigned in shame.

From WorldNetDaily:

A Democratic Party official and her husband are facing charges in connection with alleged satanic rituals involving the kidnap, rape and starvation of another couple in North Carolina.

Joy Johnson, 30, a vice-chairwoman of the Durham County Democratic Party and vice chairwoman of the Young Democrats, made an appearance in court yesterday after she and her spouse, Joseph Craig, were arrested Friday.

Craig, 25, is charged with second-degree rape, second-degree kidnapping and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon for an incident in January and another in May. Johnson is charged with two counts of aiding and abetting.

According to published and broadcast reports, prosecutors said a man and a woman met Craig through a shared interest in Satan worship, although the couple never consented to any physical abuse.

Craig allegedly shackled his victims to beds, kept them in dog cages and starved them inside his home. Police say he beat the man with a cane and a cord, and raped the woman.

...Along with her interest in the Democratic Party, Johnson is one of the driving forces of a New Age website called "Indigo Dawn," a name which, according to the site, was given to Johnson during a meditation vision.

"She decided to explore the New Age community more, and after taking a course in Reiki healing, experiencing past-life regression along with direct guidance from her spirit guides, she confirmed that her destiny was to help bring about the New Age on Earth," Johnson's online biography states. "Joy shared her vision with her husband, Joe; as a result the Indigo Dawn was founded to raise the vibration of energy on Earth."

Granted, Johnson doesn't hold elected office. She's a DEM Party official in Durham County.

That's not a position of tremendous power by any means, but it's undeniable that Johnson is, or was, active in the DEMOCRAT Party.

WND reports: "State Sen. Floyd McKissick, D-Durham, said he had been told Johnson had resigned her positions with the party."

I would hope she'd resign. Even the DEMS can't excuse Johnson and ignore the charges for her part in "satanic rituals involving the kidnap, rape and starvation of another couple."

If Johnson had been a Republican Party official, I think this would be a bigger national story, putting the emphasis on Johnson's political affiliation.
