Move On Already - CBS news on election fraud and protesters 1/20 in DC

"Move On Already
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22, 2005


This column from National Review Online was written by Daniel J. Flynn.According to protesters of George W. Bush's second inauguration, Chief Justice William Rehnquist should have been swearing in John Kerry as America's 44th president on Thursday.

I think they stole Ohio," contended Darrell Anderson. "I think Kerry should have won," the Marylander added. "I think he did win. I think he absolutely won. I think he got enough electoral votes to win, counting Ohio." Anderson believes that the Republican party rigged voting machines in the Buckeye state. "I think the exit polls were correct. They were outside the margin of error. I don't care what they say, it falls outside the mathematical possibility that there would have been a six-point swing — Kerry being six points ahead to a three-point win for Bush, it's outside mathematical possibility."

Donning a shirt labeling President Bush an "international terrorist," Michael Bedoian traveled to the International A.N.S.W.E.R-organized rally from Seattle. He offered, "I'm not convinced that won the election. My personal opinion of these people is that they have absolutely no regard for human life or the democratic process."

"I think that there was voter suppression, primarily in Ohio," a San Franciscan opined. "If it were an honest election, I would say that Bush would have lost." Fellow Californian Neal Weiner said, "There seems to be a controversy in Ohio and Florida, which was pretty much covered up with the help of John Kerry." Weiner believes that "we don’t know who the right president is, because what happened in Ohio was never properly investigated." "

Re: "Move on Already"

This article is absurd. The author is not educated to the breadth and scope of the voter suppression, in its many forms, by the republicans. I suggest they investigate that first, before espousing unqualified opinions.

And to you, CBS, I suggest you do the same. Why not investigate the voter suppression with TRUE fervor? Instead of resorting to mockery ?? Like you as a news agency once did? Stop rolling over to big money and to the right ! Otherwise, you will go under, just as recent polls showing the loss of viewership suggest.

Instead of forcing Dan Rather out, you should use that energy to find out where the document came from (probably Rove) - don't be naive.

Pathetic excuse for real investigative journalism, like you once were. Walter Cronkite must be disgusted.

8. Walter Cronkite IS disgusted - you should google some of his recent

articles. But I don't think CBS employs journalists anymore so the insult goes over their heads.
Good LTE though!

11. Notice that these guys saying "Just move on" ...

never actually address the very troubling details surrounding the fraud allegations. This article even quotes the protestors' reasons for believing there was fraud, e.g., the discrepancy between exit polls and final vote tallies.

But then not a word about why the exit poll discrepancy is not evidence of an actual problem. Just ridicule of anyone who could believe such a thing.
