Agreed, we should have him make that the new term for the people who took down the dog Ann Coulter from having her job on CNN!!!! :D :D :D How many digs does it take, before you're wiped clean.... |

QUOTE(BlueDog @ Nov 12 2004, 08:03 PM) Thanks, I'm on it. Dear Mr. Matthews: I am one of millions of viewers who appreciated your courage and candour in covering the greatest story in American politics in recent years. Although the evidence for fraud in this election is not yet conclusive, I am persuaded that a prima facia case already exists for significant irregularities and perhaps massive electronic tampering amounting to the greatest scandal in our history. Even if the odds of this are only one in ten or one in a hundred, it is important our fourth estate not be distracted from its moral obligation to seek out the truth. Free and fair elections should not be the outcome of our political process; they should be the prerequisite to it. Any doubt that our elections have been both free and fair should be investigated until it is disproven or until the means and the perpetrators of the fraud are exposed and brought to justice. Please continue your coverage of this important question. Sincerely, |

Kerry was "in striking distance" in Florida and Ohio, said the Drudge Report. The popular and smutty Wonkette site claimed it had "information" from "little birdies" showing Kerry up 52-47 in Ohio and 50-49 in Florida... This is the kind of stuff we used to run in my aforementioned school paper, when the speculation surrounded who was going steady. The difference is that the bloggers [who] aspire to being a force in our public life .. don't care about the veracity of the stories they are spreading, they do not understand when there is a live hand grenade on their keyboard. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/11/08/...ain654285.shtml This post has been edited by lawnorder: Nov 13 2004, 10:50 AM -------------------- If being anti-child-sodomy is now considered the partisan position, then I'm going to be the biggest f---ing partisan on the planet..

I watched it and I was not impressed!
Yes, it's great that Matthews decided to report- But I felt that the gist of the message was not in our favor - comments like - how can you believe anything reported in the 'blogisphere' Matthews comment about how it is now 10 days after the election... That Molinari (whatever her name was) was denying that we had any credibility And Trippi, the spokesperson for the bloggers, may be a brilliant man, but a good debator he is not! Time will prove what a strong voice we have.. but right now we are being questioned. And Matthews really didn't help our cause. -------------------- "Nothing that I can do will change the structure of the universe.

I'm glad others are as mad as I am for Chris Matthews coverage. He seems like he wants to attack us rather than defend us. I wrote him too. I hope none of this stops! It is like if we quit democracy dies and they get their way! HELP IS ON THE WAY! We have to get across that this was no a fair election. If Kerry doesn't uncondede I don't know what will happen.

Caltech MIT's report a complete fabrication: Study done by "students" who used the frauded CNN exit polls as the basis of the study. Could just as easily be hackers themselves....
http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/pdfs/VotingMachines3.pdf (I wonder why the so called "caltech / MIT" report has NO AUTHOR associated with it) Is this the one the Bushie showed in Hardball ? I wonder HOW Chris Mathews missed this little detail: An academic paper with no author.. -------------------- If being anti-child-sodomy is now considered the partisan position, then I'm going to be the biggest f---ing partisan on the planet..

My email to Matthews
(hope is doesn't mind a little sarcasm, but I've been really really p'od at him for the last few months....) And I had to get that part in about the blogisphere because his was dissing it last nite... Before you have some whiney repub on your show quoting the report from Cal Tech, about voter fraud, you may want to do some investigating into Cal Tech. Oops - too late.... Well maybe while 'monday nite quarterbacking' you might find some interesting reading there. Kinda puts what she said (Molinari?) in a different light.... That's what's so fascinating about the blogisphere.... we learn more, and sooner than the media.... we have so many more reporters working on our story! And all of the channels are working together on the same story.... -------------------- "Nothing that I can do will change the structure of the universe.
