Lefties: We Did Get Fooled Again
This has all the making of a spectacular implosion:
A damning and detailed feature article, written by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., for Rolling Stone and documenting evidence of the theft of the 2004 Presidential Election is set to hit newstands this Friday, The BRAD BLOG can now confirm. The online version of the article will be posted tomorrow (Thursday) morning.The article -- headlined on the cover as "Did Bush Steal the 2004 Election?: How 350,000 Votes Disappeared in Ohio" -- has been several months in development and will contend that a concerted effort was undertaken by high-level Republican officials to steal the Election in Ohio -- and thus the country -- in 2004!
Kennedy told The BRAD BLOG this morning that "the best evidence says the Republicans succeeded" in their plan.
He writes in the 10-page long article, and confirmed to us today, that evidence shows Ohio Sec. of State J. Kenneth Blackwell was "certainly in on" the scheme, and there are indications that the effort went all the way up to the White House.
Kennedy, who is co-host of Ring of Fire, a weekend show on Air America Radio, is an environmental attorney and the son of the late Robert F. Kennedy. This is his first public foray into the realm of Election Fraud, Election Integrity, Electronic Voting and, in particular, the questionable results of Election 2004.
It will be very interesting to see what "evidence" RFK, Jr. will present. Despite the claims made above, I suspect the content of the article will provide bold headline-inducing accusations, weave nebulous connections and schemes, and in the end, fail to provide any sort of evidence that can be considered solid, or bring forth witnesses that won't almost immediately be found to have credibility problems.
Even the flimsiest of evidence will be enough for the more excitable types on the far left, but barring something truly explosive and concrete (which is something that has been sorely lacking in every Democratic “bombshell” of the past six years), I imagine this will be grist for the Democratic Underground types for months to come, and largely forgotten within the next week by everyone else.
Aha! But it will be repeated in 2008 by John Kerry who will run again and then say he was cheated by the Ohio Republicans and the Republican controlled Swifties. Heh. Who ever said politics isn't just comedy?
Posted by: Chad Evans at May 31, 2006 10:13 PMWhy bother with evidence? Most of the lefties already believe it.
My experience is that Republicans are pretty ham-handed at breaking the law. The Dems are the ones who are good at it.
Posted by: AST at May 31, 2006 10:50 PMGee...I wonder if Kennedy investigated how many Republican votes were stolen too?
But of course, the Democrats are just electoral innocents - babes in the woods. They would never, ever, ever think of cheating in an election, now would they?

all "won" by kerry, but all had more fraud and closer margins than ohio or fla in 2004.
rfkjr is a fool/
his uncle stole the 1960 election
Posted by: reliapundit at June 1, 2006 05:36 AMConsidering how many so called news outlets, pundits for said news outlets, and various left-tards were heavily invested in a Bush loss in 2000 and 2004 and came up looking like fools both times, is it any wonder that yet another puff piece of fecal matter in the guise of a, "feature article" should come floating to the top of their collective cesspool?
Posted by: juandos at June 1, 2006 06:26 AMYou have to listen to a Kennedy when they talk about stolen elections. After all, they are experts at stealing elections.
Posted by: Actual at June 1, 2006 07:45 AMPerhaps my coffee hasn't kicked in yet, but Fred, could you please explain the relevance of this link, instead of just dumping it it and expecting us to discern the context? Thank you.
Posted by: Confederate Yankee at June 1, 2006 08:57 AMFirst Kennedy himself. There is something wrong with the guy mentally. If you watch him on TV you can see signs of illness (too much drugs, whatever). Second, he uses the same logic, stats, etc. as with his global warming campaign. Yes the plant maybe warming, it is likely not associated with human activity, and modification of human activity will do nothing. Third, in Louisiana it was well known that the 9th ward controled the state as they were allowed to vote at least twice. Thus the major concern of the Democratic party for their dispersal (we don't want them back, keep them in your communities). Fourth, Bush is one of them, why do they complain about him??
Posted by: David Caskey at June 1, 2006 08:58 AMHeavily Democrat Hamilton county -- near where I live -- had over 4,000 registrations with invalid mailing addresses, which is one of the signs of fraudulent registrations. My county -- heavily Republican -- had 1 suspicious-looking registration.
The bad registrations were largely generated by ACORN and ACT, which are Democrat proxies.

OMG...you mean Detroit's NOT supposed send employees to absentee voters homes, have the employees fill out the ballot, then have the absentee sign it? Who'da thought it?
Kennedy's uncle managed a fair amount of dead votes et al in Cook County Illinois in 1960 if I recall. Don't suppose RFK,Jr is too interested in that, however.
My bet is RFK, Jr is also in favor of populate vote election of the President....that way they only have to steal big coastal cities and can leave pesky Ohio alone :-D
Posted by: Aridog at June 1, 2006 10:11 AMThis is an attempted hit on Ohio Secretary of State and Republican cndidate for Governor Ken Blackwell. He is a true conservative, an Afro-American and an all around good guy who among other things played football for Xavier University. The Democrats are afraid of him. So what they do is to indulge in their idiotically false fantasy about a stolen election.
Posted by: Phil Byler at June 1, 2006 10:36 AMI'm sorry CY, What I meant to show with that quote is that there were serious problems with Ohio, now confirmed with Tom Noe's guilty plea.
Posted by: Fred at June 1, 2006 10:38 AMI for one am shocked that a conservative magazine like Rolling Stone would commission such an article. Next they'll ask a leftist history professor to judge W before he even completes his 2nd term.

Ilegal campaign funding is a far, far cry from throwing an election. Brad blog was just throwing whatever it could find--relevant or not--against the wall in hopes something would stick.
