PBS Poll - Is Palin Qualified

[EmmaP]

Here's the link: http://www.pbs.org/cgi-registry/poll/poll.pl

As of 6:13 p.m. on 09/22/2008 it was 51% yes, 47% no.

WTF? Who's answering this poll?

1. Please search the board for similar threads.

This PBS poll has been posted.

Thank you.

[YOY]

2. It has been posted 500 times.

It has been answered over 40 million times and you can vote multiple times.

You do the math.

3. Did you bother to check if this had already been posted?

It's been at least 3 times today already. And always by people with low post counts.

What's up with that? :shrug:

[JuniperLea]

7. So, dude... I've been here a hell of a lot longer than you have...

Does that mean I can say mean stuff to you too?

:shrug:

[NYC_SKP]

20. I'm with you on being respectful, AND...

I'm pretty sure it was posted by a more than one well-meaning DU veteran, out of all the brazillion times it's been posted.

:thumbsup:

23. I suspect there's more to it than just a newbie posting links to a poll.

Just sayin'...there's been a rash of them today...something's up, especially since the poll has been online for a while.

27. hmmmmm.

I noticed yesterday that the links were all sorta biased:

* Exclusive Sarah Palin interview
* Interactive Debate: Sarah Palin
* NOW: Women, Power and Politics
* NOW Interview: Obama in Danger?
* The NOW on PBS homepage
* Who are the real community organizers?

Could this be a phony site, hacked into PBS server?

19. Things that make ya go "hmmmmm".....

22. Its just a mistake, nothing to get hysterical about.

4. RimJob is sitting in his hospital bed repeatedly clicking on Moosealini's name all day long

There's no cookies restricting votes on that poll, and he's got nothing better to do.

5. FAKE POLL....up for days, totally freeped, results unchanged, AND...

Posted eleventy-seven times here already during the past several days.

One fine DUer was wise enough to immediately edit the subject line to "never mind".

We hope you will, too.

Sincerely,

NYC_SKP and a few other DU members.

:hi:

10. 'One fine DUer was wise enough to immediately edit the subject line to "never mind".'

Yes, there is still time, so OP: go thou, and do likewise.

6. Welcome to DU, EmmaP...

Kindly disregard the snarky crap... some people practically live here... and they assume everyone else does too.

I for one have NOT seen this poll. Thanks for posting... your link didn't work, but I was able to go to the main page and seek it out.

[Lex]

9. It doesn't work.

The numbers never change.

[JuniperLea]

12. I see that... it let me vote multiple times too...

I still don't like DUers playing this holier than thou game. I'm sick of the snark against our own. Apparently "we" are not above it. Sickening.

It used to be that friendly advice would be issued in a case like this... but no. Here we see people issuing a righteous smackdown over the stupidest of things. It makes us all look like hard-ass mind fucks and I'm just tired. I hate group mentality... I'll wear myself out battling for the underdog's rights. Jeez. Me + DU sometimes = severe aggravation!

8. Maybe this is why:

The link didn't work for me so I typed the word "poll" into the search bar at PBS.org. I got back Sponsored Links info. Guess which one is first:

11. somebody get a gun

[NYC_SKP]

13. LOL!!!

Oh boy, What are we gonna kill or maim?

[JuniperLea]

16. That's funny... I was hoping you were on top of the list...

:rofl:

[NYC_SKP]

21. Ouch!

Is there a price on my head?

If it's high enough I just might shoot myself to make the mortgage!

[JuniperLea]

26. Sorry... I'm just tired of DUers eating their own...

I left dKos because of the troll hunting clique... I'm really not happy seeing it all play out here as well.

[NYC_SKP]

28. I'm usually pretty kind, I was just...

...playing off grantcart's comment, don't know what he wanted to take a gun to, but it might have been PBS.

I agree with your sentiment, re: troll accusations and infighting and other forms of disrespect here.

:thumbsup:

[JuniperLea]

14. LOL! eom

[NYC_SKP]

15. Groundhog Day? Is it Groundhog Day the movie???

[RagAss]

17. This Poll started during the Carter Administration....forget it !

[Cirque du So-What]

18. Mein GOTT will this specious bit of fiction never DIE??!!

I'm also impressed by all the concerned citizens who apparently signed up just so they could flagellate ceaselessly over it.

[cliffordu]

25. Heh> Stroke, stroke, stroke yer troll, gently down the streeeeem.....

[cliffordu]

24. It's a fake poll. Bogus address. Bummer.

[Overseas]

29. NO NO NO please do not bother with this one which has been introduced every single day

[curious one]

30. Other Blogs have mentioned this is rigged. Give it up.

[stlsaxman]

31. 51 Yes to 48 No...

Get in there DUers!!!!

[YOY]

33. No. It's a waste of time.

Some FReep sat there and did it over and over and over or hacked it somehow.

Why else would it have 40 million votes?

[Demi_Babe]

32. Whoops -- the link you followed is not correct. Please go to PBS.org to find the correct link.

[scheming daemons]
