Newsweek article - Jesse Jackson states Kerry won Ohio, fraud occurred
Did anyone else see this article in Newsweek stating Jesse Jackson believes that Kerry won Ohio, and thus the election were it not for fraud? Interesting article as he says Kerry is 'minimally' involved in investigating fraudulent activity. Hmmm....

3. I saw that mentioned on here. Thanks for bringing it to the fore
again. No one can deny that "Newsweek" IS Mainstream Media.

4. I saw it -- labeled "web exclusive"...
...and I'm wondering if it will make it to the magazine.

Big difference.

5. What's with the 'I don't know that.' at the end of this....
Jackson;

"Of course I think that. If we deal with the anomalies, a fair random count, the urban-suppressed vote, Kerry would get at least 60,000 more votes. At least! I believe that. I don’t know that."

That seems oddly inconsistent - I'd have to have heard it.

Any Ideas? (or am I just tired?)

10. Just what it says: He believes Kerry would have at least 60,000 more votes
He believes that, but does not know that for sure.

12. Even Rev. Jackson is stuck in the "Fascism Frame"
The "Fascism Frame" is the one which says that any election can be stolen and it's our burden to prove it, beyond a reasonable doubt, and put someone in jail (someone to "distance oneself" from).

It's a close cousin to the "Stalinist Frame" which says: Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything. -- Josef Stalin

We need to demand that ALL Americans, even such moral patriots as Rev. Jackson, adopt the "American Frame" which says that we have the inalienable right to have FULL confidence that OUR election results accurately guage the "consent of the governed," through a process that was free, fair, open, and fully auditable.

The "American Frame" requires that the presidential electors from Ohio, Florida, and New Mexico (at least) be disallowed as failing to meet the minimal standard of confidence in their result.

There is no other moral or patriotic option.

8. Bush's popularity rating shows low approval
and it's doubtful he got the majority of votes. Very doubtful.
