Can Stealing be Stolen?

In my last post, I mentioned a right-wing organization that had somehow gotten me mixed up with my nemesi (plural for nemesis). NewsMax is typical of crazed orthodox right-y publications. They use too many exclamation points, they try in vain to make old, false rumors into SCARY, new revelations about the DEBIL Obama, and they write in a style that makes one feel like they really do care. For that matter, NewsMax doubles as a "healthcare" mailer, often sending out two or three political articles a day, along with a couple of "heart healthy" and "diabetic recipe tips" articles because they care just that much. A day or two ago, I wrote about stealing elections. Coincidentally enough, I received a NewsMax article just today about the FEAR of Obama and the Democrats stealing this election. It's kind of stupid timing, what with Obama so far ahead in the polls, but those crazy hardcore right-wingers! They're the masters of diversion.

Will Obama and the Democrats steal the 2008 election using voter fraud?John Fund, a Wall Street Journal columnist and Fox News analyst, warns of that very real possibility.

Butterfly ballots, balky machines, absentee ballot scandals, felons voting, Supreme Court intervention— all these made headlines during the infamous 2000 Florida recount.

Could it happen again in this year's presidential election?

The answer is yes, because not much has changed to improve our election systems, while both major parties are poised on a hair trigger to file lawsuits and challenge any close statewide vote. The issues may boil down to whether the margin of victory in any state exceeds the "margin of litigation."

Author John Fund spotlights the perils of "provisional ballots," the flaws of the "Motor Voter" law that has allowed people to get absentee ballots for phantom voters, and the shady registration drives of the radical group ACORN, a group with close ties to Barack Obama.

Meanwhile, the simple safeguard of a photo ID requirement is fiercely resisted on specious claims that it would disenfranchise poor and minority voters.

Stealing Elections presents a chilling portrait of electoral vulnerability, as a combination of bureaucratic bungling and ballot rigging put our democracy at risk.

My first reaction was laughter. I've seen this John Fund on the Bill Maher HBO show. It's the first time I've ever seen Bill really lose it, because Fund would not, could not, answer a single question without twisting it, back-flipping it, or simply changing the subject entirely. It was truly maddening.

I had intended to dedicate at least a couple of entries to election stealing - this makes for an interesting first post, as apparently the liberal/Democrat fear of the possibility was so well-founded, the right-wing Repubs had to steal the idea for themselves! Is that stealing on top of stealing? 

Obviously, someone handed the task of debunking the liberal theory about the ease of stealing elections, and hijacking the theory for their own benefit, to this John Fund, who is a loudmouth, an interrupter (I hate that), and one of those "golly, gosh, who me?" type of snakes. Hacking Democracy, the documentary I spoke of in my most recent post, is such an effective film, because everything that happened (including Election Supervisors throwing ballots and other "paper trails" into garbage bins) is actually ON FILM. There's no need to debate - the proof is right there before your eyes.

I think this must have caused ants-in-the-pants for some Repub higher-ups, so they enlisted Fund to turn the evidence around so that it's back-assward, and then offer it for FREE, as you can see. I see right through it. Unfortunately, most righties won't. I implore my readers to watch Hacking Democracy - http://www.freedocumentaries.org, and then write to Fund, or to FOX, to tell them how stupid and dishonest this book is.

They're so desperate now, they're liable to do the unthinkable. We MUST call them out. 

And what the heck is a "balky" machine? Is Bronson Pinchot behind all this treachery?

Just to whet your appetite about Newsmax, here's a paragraph from the latest article I was sent, on Obama's history as a "drug addict":

“I remember he didn’t hang out with a group I thought was the right group to hang out with,” said the woman who attended Punahou High School in Honolulu with Obama. “It was the group known as the Bingham benches, the druggies’ group.”

Obama has admitted taking drugs in high school, but the fact that he kept company with others who were known to take drugs has not been reported previously. That appears to be part of a pattern of associating with questionable people, raising questions about his character and judgment. Among those people are William Ayers, who has admitted bombing buildings; convicted fundraiser Tony Rezko; and the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., whom Obama considered his mentor and who gave an award for lifetime achievement to Louis Farrakhan.

Amazing how they can fit so much unrelated material into one paragraph, huh? And, I surely need to know all about who he smoked pot with in high school, right? Those scary, scary kids he "kept company with" must be vetted!! They have not been reported on previously! This may change my mind about Obama entirely! He may be the DEBIL after all...
