Case Closed! TIME puts to rest those pesky election fraud rumors
According to crack investigative journalist Karen Tumulty:
"Conspiracy theories abound on left-leaning websites--particularly about Florida and Ohio, the two states that determined the outcome. None of them seem to be holding up. Why, for instance, did Bush win many Florida counties where the majority of registered voters are Democrats? Those areas in the northern and central parts of the state have long traditions of voting Republican in presidential contests."
OH! Guess that settles it, then!!
Jeeziz God these people make me :puke:

1. Karen, I got news for you, pal. Wait til the tapes and other evidence
comes forward from Bev in Florida. Then we'll talk about left-leaning conspiracy theories, 'mmkay?

2. So, did she do a recount of each and every vote?
Man, she's fast! And she did it all by herself, too!

6. One of the first things I learned about research in high school
as a member of the debate team was that Time is a glossy compendium of predigested, second-hand conventional wisdom that almost never had any original source material of its own.

And please don't hate me for being on the debate team.

8. It's a good thing people get more decision making info from the internet
Than from trash corporate "news" disinfo sites like Time!

Obviously the internet generation who voted against Bush by a large margin don't waste much time on propaganda trash like Time!

More Power to 'em!

9. Amazing how the RW media keeps quoting this dead Dixiecrat angle.
Thom Hartmann, the originator of this Florida theory, has himself disclaimed the idea of Dixiecrat Floridians while still drawing doubt on the election/election process. (Restoring Trust in the Vote, by Thom Hartmann, http://www.commondreams.org/views04/1115-24.htm .)

But maybe not that amazing considering how the RW media seized as unerring truth exit poll data about "moral values" while dismissing as BS exit poll data that Kerry won. :eyes:

12. Conservative Media strikes again!
Those damn left-leaning websites. Where do they get off asking questions about the vote? Who in the hell do they think they are? Americans who have freedom of speech?

**********************


That above is the conservative media's only argument these days. Oh how I wished we indeed had a liberal press. At least a wee-bit liberal. These Cons are way, way too Conservative with their questions.

17. DU is mentioned on that same page
There's a little blurb about "What's a democrat to do?" at the bottom of the page, and DU is mentioned along with sorryeverbody.com and a couple of other sites.

I don't have a link, saw it earlier today in the hard copy.
