SAN DIEGO TEA PARTY LEADER ARRESTED FOR KIDNAPPING, RAPE


By Miriam Raftery

March 17, 2012 (Lemon Grove)—Lemon Grove resident Michael John
Kobulnicky, 50, a leader in the San Diego Tea Party and former regional
director of the Southern California Conservative Party, is under arrest
for allegedly kidnapping and raping a local woman on Fiesta Island.

“He dragged her out of the car and sexually assaulted her pretty
brutally,” San Diego Police Lt. Andra Brown told ECM news partner 10
News in late February, shortly after the February 25 assault occurred.

On his website, http://www.michaelkobulnickyusa.com, Kobulnicky lists
his leadership roles as “currently the co-organizer and public relations
representative for the San Diego Tea Party.”

After Kobulnicky’s arrest, the San Diego Tea Party issued a statement
indicating that Kobulnicky took leave the group in January for personal
reasons and had not been in touch since then, the San Diego
Union-Tribune reports. He has been removed from his position while the
legal process runs its course, the statement said, adding that “"Our
hearts and our thoughts go out to the victim.”

The suspect previously identified himself with the Conservative Party
USA. In 2009, he was listed as regional director of the Southern
California Conservative Party, according to
http://conservativepartyusa.org/bios/kobulnicky.html

According to his website, Kobulnicky supports Christian values, is a
father of five sons, and is co-founder and president of the National
Council of Americans, Inc, a nonprofit that helps youths.

He also lists prior employment as faculty at California Miramar
University, teacher and coach at Val Verde Unified School District,
manager of a landscape design company, and more.

His Facebook page indicates he became engaged in early March and planned
to be married in April. Kobulnicky, who is divorced, was accused of
domestic violence in 2008, San Diego Superior Court records indicate.

According to police, Kobulnicky offered a ride to a woman walking on
Linda Vista Road around 7 p.m. on February 25. But instead of taking her
home, he drove to Fiesta Island. There, the 205-pound, 6 ft. 3-inch tall
suspect is accused of pulling the victim out of the vehicle and sexually
assaulted the 56-year-old woman, then leaving her on the island.

He is charged with rape, kidnapping, and forcible sex with a foreign
object. Evidence includes surveillance video shot at a local
convenience store shortly before the kidnapping occurred. Kobulnicky is
being held without bail pending arraignment on Monday.

I thought you'd post that "the woman deserved it." Well, that'll happen
soon enough on your side of the aisle.

A fight? It was just an observation about your side's continuing war on
women. Will your party leader Limbaugh call the woman who Kobulnicky
raped a slut because she allowed herself to be raped? If the woman was
impregnated, will Sarah Palin speak out against her getting an abortion?
If she moves to Virginia or Pennsylvania, will she have to be violated
again by the Republican-mandated vaginal probe?
