DEALERGATE SMOKING GUN: STATISTICAL PROOF THAT WHOEVER SELECTED DEALERSHIPS TO BE CLOSED LOOKED AT WHO OWNED THEM AND NOT JUST THE NUMBERS

I think this item - from JONAH at The Corner (who is skeptical of the political angle) - actually proves that SOMEBODY paid very VERY close attention to the identity of which Chrysler dealers would not be renewed; (weirdly, Jonah posted this from a reader as if it buttressed the skeptic's interpretation of events):
Of the 789 Chrysler dealers who were notified that their contracts will not be renewed, 38 are minority owned…

At the end of April, there were 154 minority dealers in Chrysler’s 3,181 total U.S. dealer body network….

You’ll see that 4.8% of the auto dealerships closed were minority owned.

Total percentage of all Chrysler dealerships that are minority owned? 4.8%
THAT'S RIGHT: THE % OF MINORITY OWNED DEALERS CLOSED IS EXACTLY THE % MINORITY OWNED.

THIS CANNOT POSSIBLY BE AN ACCIDENT, OR RANDOM.

REPEAT: THIS CANNOT POSSIBLY BE AN ACCIDENT, OR RANDOM.

REPEAT: THIS CANNOT POSSIBLY BE AN ACCIDENT, OR RANDOM.

THIS PROVES THAT
WH
OEVER DECIDED WHICH DEALERSHIP
WOULD GET CLOSED LOOKED AT
WHO OWNED WHICH DEALERSHIP.


REPEAT:
THIS PROVES THAT WHOEVER DECIDED WHICH DEALERSHIP WOULD GET CLOSED LOOKED AT WHO OWNED WHICH DEALERSHIP.

REPEAT: THIS PROVES THAT WHOEVER DECIDED WHICH DEALERSHIP WOULD GET CLOSED LOOKED AT WHO OWNED WHICH DEALERSHIP.

IT WAS NOT BASED ON NUMBERS ALONE.

WHOEVER DECIDED NOT TO CLOSE A DISPROPORTIONATE AMOUNT OF MINORITY OWNED DEALERSHIPS, MAY HAVE VERY WELL DECIDED TO CLOSE A DISPROPORTIONATE AMOUNT OF "GOP" DEALERSHIPS OR DEALERSHIPS IN GOP COUNTIES OR IN GOP CD'S.

THE PLAINTIFFS MUST DEMAND THAT THE BANKRUPTCY JUDGE GET THIS INVESTIGATED.

THE PRESIDENTIAL TASK FORCE AND THE WHITE HOUSE SHOULD BE SUBPOENAED.

ROUND UP HERE.

It isn't random, of course. I hadn't seen anything on the racial element of it, but since racial discrimination is a HUGE no-no, the Obamunists made sure that this wasn't a factor.

However, it clearly didn't stop them from very disproportionately affected Republican donors, or Chrysler dealers in Congressional districts that voted against Obama: http://www.redstate.com/josh_painter/2009/05/27/dancing-with-the-dealers-3-targeting-gop-districts/

The fact that the minority dealer association expected their ranks to be depleted by 82% instead of the 25% that occurred proves that the termination decisions included non-business-related considerations:
