How does this help? BSNews made to look 'real'
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x16718#16815 I accidently picked up this article- along with other information and took a bit from it.
So BSnews is just satire? I was looking into some of the other links with Diebold and Choicepoint - so is this ALL a non-issue?
You know how those on the right are- if one thing pops up that is bogus they just dismiss an entire issue; such as election fraud as garbage.

1. This thread is a year and a half old.

I didn't read the whole thing in depth -- but if something is called "BSnews," I'd take it with a big shaker of salt.

Edit: It appears you, and not the OP, called it BSnews. My error.

Still. Satire's been around since the dawn of time.

2. I agree with you.
And it ain't just the satire, but some of the less than researched assertions, and theatrics that run that risk, too.

That, or we're just grumpy. }(
