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!]
"Did Jesus ask for a Dr.'s report BEFORE he healed people?"
And this has to do with Andy's situation...how?
Ummmm...Jesus didn't NEED a doctor's report before He healed people. HE ALREADY KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THEM!
Sheesh!
The DUmmie that posted that was Pied Piper Pitt. At 1:50 PM and STILL no word from Undie. Maybe Undie is just $10 away from having his phone service turned on.
They're cute when they eat their own, dontcha' think? ^,^
PJ, you crack me up!! LOL!!!!
PJ, you probably remember this better than I do. Wasn't Pied Piper Pitt the one who drummed up the support for Bev and her scam?
"102. Could be a BushCo operation to discredit Andy
Remember Andy was hot on the trail of election fraud in Ohio."
BWAH-HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hard for Undie to be on the trail of "election fraud" in Ohio when there WASN'T ANY! He ought to try Washington state...or Wisconsin...or Michigan. In any case, leave it to the DUmmies to try blaming Karl Rove and the Bush administration for all of the disruptions in Undie's surgery plans. Paranoid lot, aren't they?
"Remember Andy was hot on the trail of election fraud in Ohio."
Have you heard the song 'My give a d***s busted' by Jo D Messina? I think of the DUmmies every time I hear it.
...I have never heard anyone dispute is that Andy is a hero...
Who has the 'My hero's have always been cowboys' pic handy?? The one with W and Regan?
Hmmmmmmmm.
It's been quieter than a cemetery over there.
Yeah, one in a while one little DUmmie snips at another little DUmmie, like little brothers poking and jabbing each other in bed, but on the whole, it's been a-w-f-u-l quiet.
The felonious DUmmie Andy Stephenson still MIA.
The Grand DUmmie "Skinner" still waiting for that telephone call.
No news if a "medical release form" will be signed.
Man, what a day this has been, and I got you to thank for it, sir, when you first proposed that I contact Johns Hopkins circa 7:00 a.m. (8:00 a.m. Johns Hopkins time).
You're the brains of the outfit, and I'm the muscle.
I tell you one thing, if this was indeed a scam and it happened on Skinner's site and on Skinner's dime. The triggerhappy penchant for deleteing threads and posts may come back to haunt him if posts on DUmmiland are part of the investigation.
"I have never heard anyone dispute is that Andy is a hero... "
I saw where one of the DUmmies stated that they didn't care if this was a scam because Andy still gets the money and if he doesn't use it for surgery, he would use it to uncover fraud in Ohio. They are so gullible.
It's a scam; the felonious DUmmie Andy Stephenson has flown the coop, with the loot.
Been there, seen that.
Too many times to count.
As we watch this wither down--I'm sure this is going to be remembered on Free Republic for a very long time--I'm already looking into something else.
The Grand DUmmie "Skinner" has admitted--although not intentionally--that DUmmieland rakes in something a little less than $100,000 per year, or about $1.20 per alleged DUmmie.
Uh, I'm sorry, but one cannot operate a web-site the magnitude of DUmmieland for a mere hundred grand a year.
<<starting off on another money trail.....
Ummmmm... All your Undies are belong to us? ;-)
That just came in?
Must have come in just as I left DUmmieland.
Hot off the presses. And a nice little cyber trail for them to follow. There are two DUmmies that got tombstoned because the Collective thought they were me.
I'll keep an eye on this one. I still don't buy it. I will profusely apologize if proven wrong, but I don't think I am.
NOtice that he does not offer any sincere thanks at all in the thread to those who donated. Mostly worried about "his good name."
