[life_long_dem]

1. Thanks for the info.

I look forward to hearing what he has to say.

[mirandapriestly]

2. Thanks, I'm waiting. Two minutes. n/t

[YellowDoginthehouse]

3. I couldn't get it-what did he say?

n/t

[Jersey Devil]

4. I'm waitin' but this DJ sounds like Captain Video

I think he is about to give the weather forecast for Mars.

[rockedthevoteinMA]

5. LMAO I thought so too!! n/t

[mirandapriestly]

6. Jeff Fisher is on now

hard to understand

[Jersey Devil]

11. We're sorry, you've reached a station that is unavailable at this time

Please try again later.

For someone who was supposed to have the real scoop and evidence on voter fraud in Fla, I'd say this is a pretty piss poor way of communicating. Based on this, I would probably vote for the other guy.

[Jersey Devil]

8. Sounds like a ham radio with a bad speaker

The bad modulation is giving me a headache. So far Fisher is repeating the well known allegations about Fla and Ohio but nothing whatsoever about his claim of evidence.

[snot]

7. I can't make the sound work so pls report-thanks

[Northwestmom4Kerry]

9. What a station....

It says it has reached it's maximum number of listeners!

So Jeff Fischer has the biggest story since watergate, and this is the only forum he can find?

Guess I should have tuned in first before I let everyone else know! ....lol

[Northwestmom4Kerry]

10. Maybe we should e-mail him and have him contact Randi Rhodes

then we can all listen!

[ramblin_dave]

12. Program failure - repeating message

We're sorry, you've reached a station that is unavailable at this time, please try again later...

[RagingInMiami]

14. The DJ

says they're going to post the segment after the show in case you missed it. He's very excited about all the traffic, but it's like a bad cell phone connection. "Can you hear me now?"

[mirandapriestly]

17. He is saying that Kerry is not being a coward, but he knew if he

went to court right away he would be ridiculed, so he is waiting. then he said the DNC sent legal counsel - and it went out.
He is talking about FBI, it is too hard too understand

[KaryninMiami]

13. It started off ok and it became an "Unavailable Station"

How strange. Anyone have a way to email over there? What a shame and I wonder if it's accidental? (Don't mean to sound like a conspiracy theorist)..

[RagingInMiami]

16. Fisher

believes Kerry is "going to come out in a week or so" because he's watching what's happening "real closely"?

[Jersey Devil]

15. OK, based on this I have come to a conclusion

As much as I would like to think that a bunch of juvenile delinquents in a detention home were forced to hack into voting computers and change the vote nationwide, as Fisher has previously suggested, I do not think advocating such an idea would be wise.

Better I think would be to suggest that Fisher arrived on Earth from the planet Tinfoil.

[LisaL]

30. Sadly, his story about juvenile delinquents sounds

completely crazy.

[Dancing_Dave]

60. This has been discussed before on DU--his case is reasonable

People in Florida who knew a number of the names in he's mentioned and are familiar with what really goes on in Florida juvenile detention centers found that his story actually added up very well.

[MinneapolisMatt]

18. It's 11:25 pm

and it's still on here (MN).

Ugh, it's really hard to understand what he is saying. (My advice: if you ever go on a live radio program, DO NOT use a cell phone. It sounds like crap.)

The radio host did mention it will be available in their archives eventually...and hopefully a transcript will be too.

[yourout]

19. Has alot of detail....

either A well thought story or crazy ring of truth.

[RagingInMiami]

21. Just lost him again

Maybe Ashcroft finally caught up to Fisher.

[lostnfound]

22. A Rovian trap. A lightning rod to divert the media from the real stuff

like what Bev Harris is digging up.

This is something custom-designed to allow the media to flaunt and laugh at those crazy conspiracy theorists.

Jeff Fisher may not know it, but I suspect it is a setup.

[Copperred]

33. cynic...

i agree...this seems odd... but maybe i have become the ultimate cynic....

and that trippy christian right music...wat was that...h

[SmokingJacket]

59. I'm beginning to agree.

Hide a nugget of truth (election fraud) in a crazy implausible story told by an unreliable person (which, I don't know, he may or may not be) to TOTALLY sink the story.

Remember "Fortunate Son"?

Remember the CBS debacle -- basically the truth hidden in a dubious memo, so the whole things goes down in flames?

Let's put a little distance between the issue and this guy.

[wantkerryin]

20. sounds like...

a woman? this guy is missing testosterone!!

[RagingInMiami]

23. But you can't deny

he has some balls

[wantkerryin]

24. he does, and he's using them well! n/t

[RagingInMiami]

26. fisher says

been contaced by mainstream media and i think he said bill maher

[wantkerryin]

28. yes and also pallossi, mike moore's pr....

this station is kinda crappy i think i just lost the feed

[mirandapriestly]

25. He says the FBI is definitely doing something and he won't speculate

on whether they are in cahoots with Bush admin. or not. Bill Mahre contacted him he said

[RagingInMiami]

27. he sounds like

woody allen

[RagingInMiami]

29. what did he say about

robert trent jones?

[wantkerryin]

31. that he's in touch with them in accordance to the evidence

[mirandapriestly]

36. He is talking about how there are many places where there are

more votes than voters but I do not think he has any new information on or conclusive information done electronically. Tim Russert is wary wants to come forward with parties from both side. the host said that not fisher

[donachiel]

32. Still on as of 12:35 am EST

[donachiel]

37. Sounds very clear now

I'm on DSL though. Talking about Diebold - 100,000s of votes before polls opened in Florida. Constant overages across Florida. Tim Russert wanting to come forward with information.

Speaking about Diebold's source code.

[yourout]

34. What happens next....?

Not saying I belive it yet but what happens if it turns out to be true?
How do they prove it and prove who was involved?

[RagingInMiami]

35. DJ is saying

that there is a rumour that Tim Russert is looking into fraud

[yourout]

38. The more he rambles the less I belive him.

Starting to sound a little looney.

[donachiel]

39. Talking about DES

DJ is saying Rove is like an attack dog and suggests to Jeff go ahead hard and strong.

[Verve]

41. The commentator said there is a rumor that Tim Russert (NBC )

is wary or suspicious . He suggested he may come out with this on his show in the next few weeks. Jeff Fisher couldn't confirm.

[wantkerryin]

40. I don't think he should be dropping names like this...

What if the wrong people are listening??? I'm scared now. I hope this doesn't turn over against Kerry. :{

[Copperred]

42. PRECEDANT???

WHEN HAS THERE BEEN A NATIONAL REVOTE FOR PRESIDENT????

[GDoyle]

43. Here is a biography of Fisher

Look, I hate to say it, but this guy sounds a bit loony. He talks wildly about all these conspiracies he's unconvered, but to date I have seen no hard evidence.

And he's apparently run for Congress twice and I haven't heard a thing about him until AFTER the election. And I'm a political junkie by the way.

By his own biography he does not mention one single job he's ever held. He mentions some volunteering and the like, which is commendable. But what makes this guy think he's qualified to do anything? Serve in Congress? Investigate major crimes? I see no evidence of that either.

http://www.jefffisherforcongress.com/indexenglish.html

Sorry folks, unless proven otherwise, Fisher is a kook. I really hope I'm wrong.

GDoyle

[RagingInMiami]

44. he has a job

Currently, Jeff Fisher is employed in the Neurodiagnostic Industry.
His educational background consists of an Associates of Science in accountancy with a concentration in economics and international affairs. He also attended an photography school in Rhode Island where he met his wife of 16 years and graduated their two year program with honors also.
Since moving to Florida over four years ago, Jeff Fisher has not served on any political committees for the sole purpose of devoting his spare time to listening and remaining involved on a personal level across the entire State of Florida regarding medical care, civil liberties, taxation, restoration of the Everglades, law enforcement, prison reform and the loss of individual Voting Rights since November 2000.
Although Mr. Fisher has spent 31 years as a Activist in the political arena promoting other candidates, he has gravitas in connecting with voters and issues that reflects his District.

[GDoyle]

47. His campaign manager mentions that...

The part he wrote mentions nothing of any work experience. You'd think he'd mention that. And no further details are provided relative to his work history/experience other than the industry he is currently in. One throwaway line on his entire website about his work and work history.

I mean, come on.

Gdoyle

[GDoyle]

49. and why.....????

It mentions a degree he holds. But it DOES NOT SAY WHERE FROM? WHAT COLLEGES? WHAT YEARS?

Isn't that basic resume info for someone who wants to serve in Congress? How can we verify his job, education, qualifications etc. if he just makes blanket assertions with no details to be checked?

No college or school names. No employer names. No specific job titles. Just a vague "industry" That is pure bullshit.

What specifically makes this guy credible? Is there anything anyone can point to?

GDoyle

[Copperred]

45. He ain't my lawyer........

AGREED FISHER IS NOT THE LEAD ON THIS..... HE SHOULD NOT BE REPRESENTING ANYONE BUT HIMSELF IMO

[RagingInMiami]

46. but the guy sounds very persistent

which might force the feds of the mainstream media to look into it.

[Stephanie]

48. Read his letter of complaint - it was posted here a few days ago

It doesn't make sense.

[Ronbrynaert]

51. Learn to Google

Jeff Fisher is a former accountant from Wellington.

http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/content/news/photos/kyc/ushouse.html

But he might still be a kook.

[GDoyle]

52. Well fine...

But he didn't put it on his own website, that was my point. I find that a bit odd.

GDoyle

[Ronbrynaert]

55. Sorry

I shouldn't have been mean about it.

[ewagner]

50. First post on this subject

I've been avoiding it like the plague.

I'll only jump in here to say that my bullshit buzzer is buzzing.

I don't trust this guy at all.

[badc0der]

53. Too much tin-foil

In the 40 minutes or so before I got booted I heard him talking about the Bay Point school, how bad Diebold's source and CEO are, and how he is talking to Nader...
But not one mention of the hard physical evidence that the BBV crew pulled today. IMO someone who leads the with conspiracy theories that, as yet, have no hard public evidence and neglects the mounting factual evidence of fraud should not be taking the lead on this.

[newyawker99]

56. Hi badc0der!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[TexanDem]

54. Olbermann mentions Fisher in his blog today.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6210240/

I got in at the end of the program, but the radio host said he would archive tonight's program and would write up an article about it probably in the morning. You might want to get on the radio's mailing list.

[newyawker99]

57. Hi TexanDem!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[tex-wyo-dem]

58. Exerpt from KO's blog re: Fisher

The purported linking of failed Florida congressional candidate Jeff Fisher and Ralph Nader, trumpeted on Fisher’s website, is news to Nader’s spokesman Kevin Zeese.

That’s particularly troublesome for Mr. Fisher because it is to Zeese that the connection is attributed:

“Kevin Zeese,” the Fisher site reads, “officially announced that Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader will be consulting with Jeff Fisher and Jan Schneider regarding the investigation of voter fraud and a statewide recount for the state of Florida.”

When the nose-to-the-grindstone Countdown staff (as opposed to me, vacation boy) contacted Zeese, he said it was the first he’d heard of any ‘official announcement.’ Zeese acknowledges he’d spoken to Fisher, and surmises, correctly I think, that Fisher (he lost in the Florida 16th) and Schneider (she lost in the 13th, to Katherine Harris) were trying to increase their credibility by tying their efforts to the Nader campaign. Given the pounding Nader’s gotten for four years, Zeese laughed out loud at the irony.

Fisher has been cited in many places as claiming he has firm evidence of deliberate computer-hacking in the Florida vote, and was awaiting FBI agents with whom he was to share it. Not to dismiss him or his claims, but the show’s contact with him was not encouraging. He spoke vaguely of sources and whispered a lot.

Hell, ‘Deep Throat’ from Watergate whispered a lot.

Then again, so does the guy who wanders around Columbus Circle claiming the government caused the Red Sox to win the World Series.

We’ll reserve judgment on Mr. Fisher’s claims— and keep them out of this space until and unless they have stronger legs. But the “consulting” role with Nader isn’t the case, and bodes ill for Fisher’s other assertions.

---------------------

I don't think I would put too much stock in Mr. Fisher. I hope he doesn't end up hurting the cause.
