The conservative media should run those sorts of articles more often with links added.
Its not the evidence, its not the facts, its not that nothing was found to prove otherwise. To liberals, what matters is the seriousness of the charge leveled.
Heck, Major Owens claimed "hundreds of millions" of black slaves were thrown overboard on their way to the New World, changing the "ecology of the oceans" forever.
What's a mere 57,000 in the face of that claim??
Excellent article, thanks for writing and posting it.
I was trying not to break into a savage assault
57,000 out of about 100,000. Whats the average turnout for blacks in Florida?
This would not be like the story the press carried that the Republicans wanted to starve children.
I remember calling a reporter at the Pittsburgh post gazette on that one. I asked him if he believed the Republicans literally wanted to starve children. He said no. I asked him why he printed it then. He said he was only quoting what the Democrat was saying. I asked him what his journalism professor would have thought of his single source story?
These jerks in the press are so transparent. It is not journalism they are practicing. It is advocacy.
I don't know exactly, but I think it was higher than it was for whites.
Maybe 53%?
Amazing how they couldn't come up with a single person who was eligible to vote, but wasn't allowed to...
Exactly. It is hard to understand why they can't at least have the pretense of fairness like they used to. They use to at least run a line or a quote from the 'other side', hardly anymore.
The RATS have lost track of all the lies they tell. They tell a lie and then blame the Bush Administration for telling it. I can't believe this. The unfortunate part is that 40% or so of the American public believes them. what a shame.
This article is only 16 very short paragraphs, yet it decisively deals with several issues. Why are these not the talking points of every republican, including the President? I know the democrats are the enemy. In the end, I will curse the ineffectiveness of the republicans.
Don't you think if the media thought it had a shred of evidence they would look into it??
The liberal media keeps that idea going knowing full-well that its a load of bunk!
Ping to a really good article.
The AP is suing for Bush's military records, even though we now know the AWOL story is bunk. They want to revive it for the elections. They do not even care about the truth of Kerry's military records.
The pig farmers of Iowa wish they had the manure shoveling abilities that Kerry apparently has.
The U. S. A. is too great of a place to allow this to happen, yet down the toilet we go. It is time for a "thinning out".
Even if Bush wins handily, I think Kerry's lawyers are going to try and steal the election. Then as that 'controversy' is staged they will whip up inner-cities towards rioting. Its a bad feeling, but I think they are going to try.
