...Florida's St. Lucie County (where Mr. Obama got 247,713 votes from only 175,554 registered voters)

You would think that a fact like this would draw the interest of your average red-blooded all-America journalist.

Their cause is more important than their craft. The ends justify the means is the mantra of American journalists.

Of my sons group of friends - only one voted for Obama. That fellow? Shoplifts all the time and sees nothing wrong with it. We feel like that pretty much sums up Obama supporters - which includes the media.

Where does this fact come from?

According to Florida Division of Elections St. Lucie County only counted 123,750 votes, a turnout of 70 percent.

You would think that “facts” like that would make intelligent readers think twice about believing what they are reading.

The statement is false. It is clearly false. You’d have to be stupid to think a politician who just ran for office would ignore such an obvious indication of fraud.

There were two ballots per voter, and some idiot took the count of “ballots” and thought it was a count of voters, and then wrote a blog entry, and other blogs picked it up, and it became “common knowledge”.

The internet allows a stupid person to get national prominence before sanity kicks in.
