Um... In Case You Haven't Seen This...
Edited on Thu Oct-21-10 05:17 PM by WillyT
I know everybody is upset, and the phrase 'circular firing squad' has been posted more than a couple times here recently, BUT... you really need to see this article. It's from TPMMuckraker, and it contains language that I don't want to paste here. But you should really see it for yourselves. I know any idiots can write e-mails and say any crazy/warped things, that said...

2. NOTHING steams me more than messing with the elections.
It was the whole Supremes election theft of 2000 that ended up with me finding solace at DU....then we had Ohio in 2004. Those emails at the link you provided are pure, malevolent ignorance, terrifying in its depth (or it is shallowness...).

I will be sure to have my smartphone camcorder at the ready on voting day.

If anything should unite us all, it is this sort of thing.

3. THAT Is A Great Idea !!!
EVERYBODY should have their cellphone/camcorders with them on Election Day!

And a number you can call if you are getting harassed.

I know they've had those phone numbers before, but I do not remember who or where...

17. Look for prominently posted signs saying "NO CAMERAS OR CELL PHONES"
... they are not permitted in many polling stations. The (ostensible) reason? A local voting supervisor in MD told me that electronic devices may produce RFI signals which AFFECT THE VOTING MACHINES ... thus establishing that electronic voting machines are unreliable and should be banned.

So of course, they banned cell phones and video cameras instead.

7. What's really disgusting is the DOJ
They have no problem raiding peace activists, but they are "gathering information" here. There is clear evidence of terroristic threats and they have plenty of probable cause. Fuck them.

13. I post this over and over ..you don't see Democrats sending
out such vulgar and racist and threatening emails. BUT you see the republicans always accusing "liberals" as all kinds of hateful things. And the most outrageous thing about these republicans is the fact that they rant and rave about how RELIGIOUS they are.

I tell you, if there was really a God he would strike them all with thunder bolts.

15. The ACLU back in 2006 began the hotline to report intimidation
here is the website...I'm thinking of calling to make sure the number still works, but why wouldn't it, right?

http://www.aclu.org/voting-rights/aclu-launches-voter-protection-initiative

The number is: 1-877-523-2792.

16. A local tea party group?!
This could be good news, turn it around on them - !
Get the police report, implicating tea party, then make a national political Dem ad.
Who knows how many 'independent' voters you might turn around in the last week or so before elections. There are enough undecided out there that it could make a huge difference.

20. Well, absent the racist slurs and other vulgarities,
that's the kind of thing that posts daily to our newspaper. The editors caution against potty mouths, letters containing bad language will not be published; heckies, last week they wouldn't post one of my comments until I removed the word 'sleaze'. But the vitriol is there, and pretty much dominates the boards. Funny, the paper calls them "discussion boards", but ever since the freepers took over there hasn't been any discussion, just shout-downs. It's like trying to communicate through a fog of teenaged angst.

22. They are worse than the scum of the earth. The TP'ers are the feces at the bottom of an outhouse.
Again, I ask how in the hell could the media and public put these racist assholes on a pedistal? It's a crime to give these ignorant rubes a platform to shoot off their mouths.

24. The TeaKlan is telling more lies, I see. Want to know the TeaKlan's agenda?
Just look at what they accuse everyone else of doing, and you'll find it pretty quick. There's nobody more paranoid than someone who's projecting. They've been manipulating elections for SO long that they imagine the Big Leftie Boogeyman MUST be doing the same thing.

These people aren't idiots--they're fascists, plain and simple, and they need to be politically neutralized.

26. Oh, so it's the radical left committing voter fraud?
Well, I hope we don't get confused which side we're on like we apparently did in Florida in 2000 :rofl:
