No credible threat? Gather 'round TFH Club!
We had a good time with the dirty bomb threat to seven cities at NFL games yesterday. I kept waiting for someone to bring up the possibility of second state in the operation to re-instill the fear. It was completely overlooked, though.

So, as an official member of the TFH Club (Tin Foil Hat), who thinks a group of 'terrorists' or 'enemy combatants' will be nabbed trying to enter a game? Lest we forget, one thing has changed in a very big way: No more Habeas Corpus.

Bush now 'has the tools that he needs' to fight the 'enemy' (as defined by him). It's October! There's an election in 19 days! BOO!!!

Ohio voting rights activist and attorney, Bob Fitrakis, says the Ohio elections may have already been won, responding to reports of massive voter purges in Democratic precincts.

Dr. Fitrakis, told OpEdNews, "Essentially, by purging these rolls, the Republicans, by shrinking the electorate, have already won in Ohio. If they can't win, which is what the polls show among registered voters, the way to win is to use their nuclear option-- to target black voters, young voters and the working poor-- by purging them so they can't vote.

Reports indicate that starting as early as shortly after the 2004 presidential elections, but particularly recently, hundreds of thousands of voters-- mostly urban apartment dwellers (likely black) and students-- who are primarily Democratic-- were sent notifications that they would be purged from the eligible voter lists if they did not respond the letter. But, reportedly, the letter was designed to be easily overlooked, perhaps treated as junk mail. Failure to send in a response caused the voter to be removed from the voting roll.

Fitrakis observes, "They aren't challenging voter eligibility in Republican areas. This is coming from the republican party. They're not targeting their own base.

"If it follows the pattern from 2004, they will have purged heavily Democratic areas.THey will challenge high performance democratic precincts."

7. Heard about that yesterday

They're fully aware that the only way to do it is by taking little chunks of the apple like that. Who's going to question a Republican win in a heavy Republican district? No one. They have to hit the enemy's forces.

eta: LOL @ that pic!

8. little chunks? 1.2 MILLION letters sent out!
with a two or three month time frame that ALLOWED them to vote in the primary, thinking that everything was OK.

the time for them to correct the "discrepancy" came after the primary, after which they'd be expunged from the voter rolls, leaving no time to get back on

heckuva job, Blackwell

12. A whole lot of little chunks adds up to a great big bite
I completely agree with you, BTW. What they did was completely underhanded. Hope they take it to court and throw Blackwell in the slammer for voter disenfranchisement.

3. Why else was Hezbollah brought in over the Mexican border?
I think that's their plan. They'll nab them and save football.
