Yet another example of their spin, using the subtlety of language to brainwash the public.

8. so far...

...it's been mostly an interview with Scarborough heatedly trying to refute all of the evidence that's been circulating. the Washington Post article was brought up, and i think, maybe, also the NY Times one. ...i didn't catch every word in the program (preoccupied with typing).

12. That idiot was a Florida Re-puke (Repiglican) and he whined

about how in Florida (the state that should have been cut off and left to float into the sea after Jeb stold the election for his CHIMP BROTHER in 2000) people in REPUKE counties stood in line for 7 hours and none of them whined like the people in Ohio are doing.

Whoever that guy was ........should be put down a deep well.

5. Scarborough just said Wexler's silence evidence there was no fraud

says Wexler would have come forward if there had been any real problems. Wexler was party to the demand that the GAO investigate the election, wasn't he? Someone needs to call him on this.

23. Wexler was at Conyer's first hearing and brought up BBVoting & no one

wanted to talk about it on the panel which was centered more on "civil rights" violations. Wexler has brought two lawsuits about BBVoting...the first one was rejected the second one is ongoing. I think he's been very supportive of this issue...:shrug:

9. That Washington Post article REALLY got him going

He basically repeated everything from his blog. MAKE SURE to drop the Post author a note thanking him! I bet he is getting slammed.

33. Lester Holt is nothing but another shill on MSRNC.

Edited on Wed Dec-15-04 05:57 PM by mohinoaklawnillinois

The only reason they are even covering this is: Scott Peterson's trial is over and Michael Jackson's hasn't started yet.

Lester Holt was an anchor here in Chicago for the local CBS affiliate before he left for MSRNC. He was useless then and he's even more useless now.

Come on, interviewing Joe "Dead Intern" Scarborough about vote fraud. Pot meet kettle.

Edited for typo.
