DUmmieland is in an uproar because the Leftwing TomPaine.Com website published an article claiming that there was NO vote fraud conspiracy in Ohio. This is heresy in the eyes of the DUmmies because one of their most treasured beliefs is that the EVIL Republicans STOLE the election by rigging the votes in Ohio. One side effect of this belief is that it made Bev Harris a very rich woman since she scammed the DUmmies for at least $300,000 by making them think she was only $10 away from proving vote fraud in Ohio. There are actually two DUmmie threads expressing their OUTRAGE over the TomPaine.Com article. The first THREAD is titled, "’What Didn't Happen in Ohio’ This article DEMANDS a response!” and the second THREAD is simply titled, “TomPaine.com: What didn't happen in Ohio.” Both these threads have the typical lunatic DUmmie responses so both will be DUFUed. As usual, the rantings of the DUmmies unable to let go of their sacred Ohio vote fraud beliefs are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, with $10 in his pocket that he did NOT send to Bev Harris, is in the [brackets]:
“For casting doubt on the conspiracy theory, TomPaine.com and I received virtual barrels of e-mail, most from angry anti-Bush activists who could not believe that their hard work had been for naught. I also heard from Steven Freeman, a University of Pennsylvania professor and author of a widely cited study that served as the primary basis for the pro-theft-theory folks, The Unexplained Exit Poll Discrepancy . His remarks, and my response to them, appeared on TomPaine.com.”
[For casting doubt on the Ohio vote fraud conspiracy, I brand you a HERETIC!!! Let the Auto Da Fe begin!]
“Privately, I heard from many Democratic officials, election reform advocates and analysts from inside Ohio and elsewhere, who believed my reporting to be accurate, and who were more than a little perturbed by the frenzy, which they found a counterproductive distraction from the serious ongoing effort to reform election practices. Since the debate refuses to die, this seems a good time to trumpet the arrival of not just one, but two, new technical analyses that cast further doubt upon the conspiracy theories out there. The author of the first is an earnest young fellow in San Diego named Rick Brady.”
[Privately I’ve heard that the only loons left believing in the Ohio vote fraud conspiracy are the DUmmies and Teh-RAY-suh Heinz.]
”So, absent the emergence of true polling methodology experts screaming theft, we may reasonably conclude that no evil genius rigged the results. Instead, what we experienced was probably an amalgam of system failings, miscalculations, incompetence, and, in some cases, the variably successful exertions of biased election officials. These are, at worst, symptoms of gaming the system, a deplorable practice hardly limited to this election or, historically, to one party. The anomalies being cited, including by Christopher Hitchens—apparently without any notable independent verification—in a widely cited Vanity Fair piece, may prove to be invalid, or attributable as well to other factors. Perhaps fraud occurred on an isolated basis, but no one has come forward with careful documentation—as opposed to hysterical—unscientific allegation.”
[No! No! Don’t wanna hear this! Don’t you know that Karl Rove was the EVIL genius that rigged the election?]
“Until the public becomes confident in the underlying integrity of the electoral apparatus in this country, none of the urgently needed improvements to that system can take place. That’s why the conspiracy-mongering must cease. Can we instead please turn now to the many substantive proposals already being proffered to make things better—including pending legislation? Let’s keep our eye on the real ball that’s in our court.”
[Hey! Don’t tell me when I have to cease my mongering! Now that we have seen portions of this article, let us now take a look at the DUmmie outraged reaction to it.]
Bullshit! I saw it with my own eyes. I heard it w/ my own ears. I live in Columbus, Ohio too.
[And I saw space aliens land on Washington Mall with my own eyes. I heard it w/ my own ears. I live in the state of Insanity.]
Congratulations! More self-defeating bullshit, naysaying. Wunderbar!
[When even the far left TomPaine website thinks that the DUmmies are a bunch of moonbats, you know they are really far gone.]
Two very close elections. Two Republican Secs of State. Both Republican Secs of State doing double duty as Bush's state campaign chairs. Diebold machines manufactured and in use in key counties in both states. Big GOP donors running Diebold. Not least, a strong racist undertone re voter-access -- longer lines in heavy black precincts, etc. In sum, that is the infrastructure of cheating. Bush-Cheney cheated. Kerry-Edwards won.
[You certainly do present a convincing case…. that your oxygen supply was turned off at a young age.]
WE ARE NOT GOING TO STOP UNTIL JUSTICE IS DONE!
[THE COMEDY WILL NEVER END!]
I just emailed Russ Baker begging him to tell me this is satire.
[So sorry. It’s the bitter truth.]
my response is that he's right on…And I would add that I've suspected for a long time that some of the "activism" is actually intended to deliberately create and nourish unwarranted distrust in the system for malicious reasons.
[And this Dummie wins a Kewpie doll for having a very brief moment of mental clarity!]
One wonders if the current silence in DUmmieland is because it is slowly dawning on the DUmmies....."we've been had," and they're too scared to find out how they've been had.
But no, it's a little too early for that feeling to come.
Good call speed!! & great followup franksolich!! This is getting more interesting by the day! ;3
Oh! Did you try 'patient' John Smith (or whatever he called himself) as well? Just trying to remember to cover all bases. (even though this is seeming more like a crock with each passing day)
Can't WAIT....
Wish it was our idea.....Darn!
Must be $10 short.
Maybe he got better.
In my profession, I've been around lots of folks who have had cancer of the terminal type (as is pancreatic), and they don't look that robust.
You sure might stir up a hornet's nest if you were to send Bev the dirt on the flonious DUmmie, Andy! It would be interesting to see them get into it over who "owns" the DUmmie FUnds! LOL!
No, I didn't try any aliases.
I asked for the room number assigned to "Andy, or Andrew, Stephenson," who "is having surgery this morning."
The lady replied, "No, he's not checked in yet."
Please notice the "yet."
He was "scheduled" for surgery at 7:30 a.m. Johns Hopkins time, and this telephone call took place at 8:15 a.m. Johns Hopkins time.
One assumes one "checks in" before he goes into surgery, and that the "checking in" process required his being there, say, an hour and a half, two hours, earlier than the scheduled surgery.
The lady used the word "yet," meaning two things (a) his actual name, Andy (or Andrew) Stephenson is on the roster (i.e., he is not using a pseudonym) and (b) he was not on the premises at that time (forty-five minutes after the surgery had been "scheduled").
greatauntoftriplets (1000+ posts) Tue May-10-05 09:33 AM Original message ANDY'S SURGERY HAS BEEN CANCELLED FOR TODAY....He arrived at the hospital this morning and was told that they had not received the checks and that the surgery was cancelled. After raising holy hell and traipsing around Johns Hopkins, Andy learned that the checks were on the mailroom supervisor's desk at 11:45 yesterday morning, but were not sent to Financial Services. The checks were marked for Financial Services and had Andy's name and patient ID number on it.He now has to talk to the doctor to find out when it is rescheduled.As he says, a simple phone call would have resolved this and he would be in surgery right this minute.
Ah.
This is the thread (the DUmmie "sfexpat2000," who had started the fund-raiser, had posted, but then deleted; one wonders what was in that). There are too many comments there to copy-and-paste.

.....and the beat goes on.......
You know, we've all had bad luck before, and sometimes bad luck comes in streaks, one thing after another.
But this story just has too many "bad lucks"--the money lady at Johns Hopkins, the bureaucratic bungling of the accounting department, whatnot--to even be credible any longer.
I am going to make a prediction, even though I am not God (far from it)--the felonious DUmmie Andy Stephenson does not have pancreatic cancer, and is making a sick mockery of those who are truly in need of medical care.
Bingo! I think your prediction is probably right! Just look at him. He is just to chubby, jolly, and round-cheeked looking to be someone practically dying of cancer. Pardon me, anyone who has been here, and I don't mean to mock serious illness, but this DUmmie.......!!!!
Maybe he's in Anthony Hopkins, along with some fava beans and a nice chianti.
Undie's kind of guys are into that sort of thing.
fs, how long ago was Undie diagnosed, and how far along/critical was the cancer? And can you post the most recent photos of Fundee?
Hey--if any of you can catch the Tony Snow Show, by streaming the net or on the radio, he is about to have Arianna Huffington on his show in a few minutes! It ought to be interesting!
See post #127 on this thread--I think those are very recent, and he looks so-----healthy!
The rumors that the felonious DUmmie Andy Stephenson had pancreatic cancer started in early January, and such rumors were not only in DUmmieland, but on many "progressive" web-sites.
The latest photographs (last Saturday, in Ohio) of the felonious DUmmie Andy Stephenson were posted on this thread, way up there--I have not yet learned how to "downsize" images, and they are enormous; I am reluctant to post them again, until I know how.
But they are on this thread, probably 30 or 40 or 50 "responses" before this one. Somewhere up there.
Anybody have a good "address" (one that is actually used by the recipient) for Bev Harris?
Her comments, whatever they might be, would be priceless.
