AP: Ohio Vote Challenge Continues
http://www.wytv.com/news/headlines/1319356.html
Entire article:

Peace activists, musicians and politicians are among the 37 voters challenging President Bush’s November 2 election.

Congress is set to certify the Electoral College’s vote Thursday but these politically passionate voters are not ready to give up yet.

Their claim is pending before the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, who must decide whether they presented enough evidence to set aside the election results.

The Reverend Jesse Jackson held a rally in Columbus Monday supporting the challenge.

Jackson is urging members of the U.S. Senate to debate Ohio’s results on Thursday.

Former Columbus School Board member Bill Moss, a voter challenging the results, says he believes constitutional democracy is at stake.

7. What kind of remark is that, Postmanx?
How is "legitimacy" determined, in your view? And by whom?

Does Fox News determine it? Does CBS? The New York Times? Newsweek? Larry King?

Who gets to be "legitimate" and how?

8. Jesse certainly doesn’t make the cut
He is a self promoting political opportunist of the lowest order. He feeds off the tragedy of others when he feels it can advance his standing.

Jesse Jackson cheapens everything he touches.

10. Forget about it Jake, its Hymietown
Washington Post

Rev. Jesse Jackson referred to Jews as "Hymies" and to New York City as "Hymietown" in January 1984 during a conversation with a black Washington Post reporter, Milton Coleman. Jackson had assumed the references would not be printed because of his racial bond with Coleman, but several weeks later Coleman permitted the slurs to be included far down in an article by another Post reporter on Jackson's rocky relations with American Jews.

A storm of protest erupted, and Jackson at first denied the remarks, then accused Jews of conspiring to defeat him. The Nation of Islam's radical leader Louis Farrakhan, an aggressive anti-Semite and old Jackson ally, made a difficult situation worse by threatening Coleman in a radio broadcast and issuing a public warning to Jews, made in Jackson's presence: "If you harm this brother , it will be the last one you harm."
