Quote from trefoil:
Not having heard anything about this steaming POS at all until today, I trawled the internets to see what there was. What I discovered was pretty amazing; it seems every right-winger in the US has been all over this one.
What I find interesting is that if you filter all that out and read the contemporaneous - sorry, the ones that were written on Election Day or shortly thereaf - um, the ones written right after Election Day or on Election Day, what you see is the following:
1 - Two undisputably black guys guarding a polling station at a nursing home,
2 - One of whom has a nightstick,
3 - Both of whom say they're there to "provide security",
4 - One of whom, the one with the nightstick, was not authorized to be there, and who, once told to leave after a complaint by a McCain representative, did, in fact, leave.
5 - After this, Fox News arrives and starts interviewing people.
6 - The right-wing has been on it ever since.
7 - Oh yes, as a bonus to this amazingly durable non-story, the Bush Administration decided, on, like, Jan 7 or 9 or something, that there was no prosecutable offense.
So, freedom-loving right-wingers of America, where were you when the Cubans of Miami introduced Latin American principles of democracy to the recount in Florida by arriving en masse to intimidate and shut down the recount?
I forgot, you were cheering them on. 'Cause y'all love freedom so much.
Like you fool anybody at all.
