Phila. DN: Jackson wants recount (story mentions DU!)

"In the last few days, Jackson has lent his well-known voice to a movement that until now has taken place largely among participants on liberal Web sites like democraticunderground.com but out of the mainstream media's view. Based on exit polls on Nov. 2 suggesting that Kerry would win and some other election irregularities, some Kerry backers believe Bush may have won because of fraud, especially with electronic voting machines that are difficult to audit or recount."

1. *low whistle* to the last sentence in that article

3. That is about the best quote I've ever heard from him,

except the whole soverized speech making fun of Bush talking to Native Americans.

Jesse you sly dog you! :)

4. Brings to mind one of Ice Cube's better lines...

"Walking in my big black boots...
The KKK has got three-piece suits"

--"When Will They Shoot?" (1992)

11. What did Jesse say to the Native Americans?

[Carl Brennan]

2. This is good

They are laying out the claims and doing it even handedly:


Besides the heavy use of electronic voting, among the things in Ohio that have troubled Jackson and other liberal activists have included not enough voting machines in heavily black neighborhoods, one machine that gave nearly 4,000 extra votes to Bush, and the strange action of an official in Warren County, Ohio, who "locked down" vote counting because of an alleged Homeland Security alert that the FBI later said didn't exist.

7. Go Jessie!

Great article. He's taking a stand and showing leadership...hmmm...haven't seen that in a while.

I like the "taking off the hoods and putting on suits," quote and that he's willing to say this.

9. Oh Dear be prepared for Rove's Troops to descend on DU..........

Hope Skinner's got the band width..He might need to take up another collection. The stampede is coming....

[Joanne98]

13. Oh know. It happens everytime we get talked about.

I like it better when it's quiet. Sorry Skinner.:)

[Just Me]

10. One of the most even-handed articles I've read,...and WOO HOO DU!

:yourock:

This site deserves coverage. It's like a powerhouse think tank,...in my humble opinion *grin*. The "experts" and "pundits" have nothing on us.

14. "Yeah Baby!"

15. i know the author of the article

or rather i've emailed with him (plus back in the early 90s, i reviewed a book he wrote about jukeboxes).

anyway he has also written about the many unanswered questions about 9/11.

bunch is one of the best writers out there when it comes to questioning *.
