Beat Karl Rove - DU this poll at PBS
Hey everyone, here is a small thing you can do in two clicks. Check this out please and fast

PBS has a poll that asks: Is Sarah Palin qualified?
Karl Rove is paying people to HIJACK PBS and vote that Palin is qualified. We are losing 2:1 right now.

Let's turn this around!!!

You don't have to give your name or email address in order to vote.
It's very simple.
Here's the link:

4. ATTENTION THIS IS A TROLL, not the individual, the poll, it doesnt work, it never changes
AND IT HAS BEEN POSTED ALOT, there is something wrong with it.

If i had to guess Id say thy are measuring a way to block large link deluges by sites like DU.

That way when they put up REAL polls they wont be manipulated as much.

STOP POSTING THIS POLL

5. This is a bullshit poll that never moves
Never shows the vote totals and has been posted here on this form at least half a dozen times in the last week and a half.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.

6. Wow - it's getting better! This poll has been up for days, and we were
getting slammed -- to the point where DUers were convinced the Freeps were using vote generators (or whatever they're called). Maybe PBS was able to take out those votes that were generated that way? :shrug:

10. There we have it.
I was hypothesizing that the freepers were using bots to manipulate this poll. 4 million votes in a day seems to confirm this...

12. Ah - didn't see that.
Maybe WE'RE using a vote generating program, now. :7

And you're right, it's got to be bullshit. PBS is not going to get 44 million respondents to a poll. They should just pull it.

9. Again?
Edited on Mon Sep-22-08 11:00 AM by backscatter712
People have been posting this poll over and over for days now.

PBS's web site doesn't even check to see if you've already voted before letting you vote again.

Like I said before about this poll - if you want to, knock yourselves out. Vote early, vote often!

11. No! I do not want to boost PBS number of visits by this foolish poll war.
PBS has drifted to the right over the past several years. I do not want to reward them by increasing their number of site visits by participating in these poll wars.

DIFFERENT DU POSTERS EVERY SINGLE DAY TELL US TO TRY THE SAME POLL AT PBS.

ENOUGH ALREADY.
