Go over and vote for Kerry on CNN. Make it look stupid and they'll stop even posting it.

Yup.
I've got one email addy on that list and they are email blasting, but honestly..... the bots are on it.
Even with their limited (yet passionate) they couldn't muster what the CNN poll is showing now 138,000 votes out of 179,000! Bullshit.

Too bad the media won't report the bullshit for what it is.

The real joke are the resident members of DU.
I consider myself a fairly open minded person, but those folks have changed my opinion of the left.

I could go on KKK and neo Nazi sites and read less hatred and malice.

Seriously demented folks over there.

Done- I voted for Kerry- he's up to 80% on the poll- we need to get him over 90% so CNN will be embarrassed enough to drop their stupid poll.

CNN TAKES LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THE NATIONAL DEBATE OVER KERRY POLL PARODY (CNN Threatens blogger)
The National Debate ^ | 10/05/04 | Robert Cox


Posted on 10/06/2004 10:01:24 AM PDT by Dr. Zzyzx


I have been informed that CNN is now taking legal action against The National Debate over their objection to a faux news report on fake poll results showing John Kerry leading in a recent poll of fradulently registered voters. Can't these guys take a joke? I guess they can so long as it as the expense of George Bush. Poke a little fun at their candidate and they call out the lawyers. Good grief.


Over the past few days I have withheld publishing on the site as I consider my options. During that time CNN has been pushing my ISP to shut down my entire web site.


I have now filed a counterclaim so the page should be back up here soon.


DMCA COMPLAINT FROM CNN REGARDING THENATIONALDEBATE.COM


This is to notify you that the web site at http://www.thenationaldebate.com/other/CNNPoll.html and hosted by Zubrcom.net infringes upon the intellectual property rights of CNN.


We request that the site be immediately disabled and contact information for the site operator be forwarded to my attention at:


Cable News Network LP, LLLP

One CNN Center Atlanta, Georgia 30303 telephone: (404) 827-2211 facsimile: (404) 827-1995 e-mail: kari.moeller@turner.com

Under penalty of perjury, I hereby declare that this Notice is accurate and that I am authorized to act on behalf of CNN.

Thank you,

MY REPLY TO CNN

Kari,

Perhaps if you had simply contacted me with your concerns about my parody web page this matter could have been resolved quickly and amicably. Consider that for next time rather than a gratuitous (and bogus) invocation of the DMCA. Since I assume you are well aware that the web page in question is protected as parody under the First Amendment you have, I believe, perjured yourself in your DMCA claim.

I suggest you consider withdrawing your complaint before I file my own complaint with the Georgia Bar Association.

In the meantime, I have filed a counterclaim with my ISP and will defend my right to display the page as long as necessary.


Robert Cox Managing Editor The National Debate

Put this on your website:
Kerry leads in online polls voted on pushed by DNC.
In fact, Kerry and Edwards are so far ahead, they have 90% of the vote and will win the election.
Their online polls are a joke (as well as all the other online polls) because they are coordinated by the DNC to be repeated as "news" by the networks.
If you do that and need more info on it, private message me and I'll send them to you.

1. I am convinced that all
freepers are retarded. I am going to gloat with unbridled glee when they find their idiot moron in chief has lost to John Kerry come November and dance the happy dance on the remains of their exploded heads.

5. That wasn't the true point of the post
It was to get people to email them this for the legal matter of that one site. I think this will help them in their case! CNN that is on making a stronger case!

4. Those idiots are such hypocrites.
During the 2000 election campaign they screwed with every freaking online poll. They even had directions on how to remove the cookies and vote over and over again. We vote they bitch about it.

During 2000 I contacted CNN every day and emailed the freeper links. I won't take credit but, I kept at them and told them their polls are bogus and that they were being played. I told them if they knew about this and allowed it to continue then they were playing to the too stupid to live crowd who can't think for themselves and feel absolved of any responsiblity if they vote with the pack.

A few weeeks later I noticed that all the talking polls were saying, 'this is not a scientific poll.'

It just amazes me that they're bitching about us but, they do it, it's a fucking good thing. :mad:
