AP = All Propaganda

| Associated Press: One-sided platform for Kerry, Democrats By Floyd Geron Looney Internet- An article run by the AP allowed the Kerry campaign to make unfounded accusations without any questions being raised. The Kerry campaign argued that 57,000 black Americans were denied the vote in Palm Beach County and one million nationally. These unfounded allegations have been growing more and more ridiculous with each retelling. In actual fact there are about 100,000 voting-age black Americans in Palm Beach County, according to the 2000 US Census. The idea that a majority was denied the vote is easy to dismiss and quite laughable. The United States Civil Rights Commission found no systematic civil rights violations occurred in Palm Beach County. The County is run by Democrats and is heavily Democratic. The very idea that Democrat election officials would discriminate against black voters should be considered ludicrous. The allegation of a million black voters being blocked from voting mationwide is also easy to dismiss, any organized campaign on the scale would have been easily spotted. Indeed, the counties they always bring up are run by Democrats. The only organized campaign to throw out votes were votes cast by overseas military personnel. These votes were most likely heavily Republican. That the allegations came from the Kerry campaign is not a surprise, indeed it is the kind of ‘Big Lie’ we have come to expect from the far-left. The fact that the Associated Press would let this idiotic claim go without comment or balance should worry anyone who believes in free and fair elections. The people who make these claims cannot give you any names, at least names of people who really were discriminated against in the 2000 election. The leftist media, like the Associated Press, have never tried to find these people. They know these people do not exist. The liberal media has become a partisan player instead of an observer, they even allow the truth to be thrown out when it suits their political agenda. It is high time that the media, if it wishes to claim any kind of fairness, to challenge the claims of the left. They should investigate the claim that a million black voters were illegally denied the right to vote. Why have they not done this in the last four years? Obviously they know very well it is a lie. Yet they have no compunction to allow these claims to go unchallenged and unbalanced in their articles. The liberal media gave Joe Wilson a platform and a megaphone to make his now dismissed claims about Iraq attempting to buy ‘yellowcake’ from Niger. He was allowed to come onto television programs and got front-page treatment in the media for many months. When his claims were shown to be nothing more than bald-face lies the media reported nothing. Now the Associated Press is suing the Pentagon for the full military records of President George W. Bush. It is a very obvious and partisan attempt to re-awaken the unfounded claims that he was AWOL in his National Guard days. Yet the Associated Press does not even care that the military records of John Kerry haven’t been released. The controversy surrounded the Kerry service records are more heated and have much more validity that the trumped up claims about Bush. A majority of the swift-boat veterans who knew Kerry dispute his claims and his medals. They have even hired a private investigator, held press conferences and sent out news releases. Yet they are ignored by the liberal media. Yet there is not one major news outlet that cares to find out the truth about John Kerry. Indeed they continue to label Kerry a ‘hero’ for his four months of service. The media will quote Kerry referring to Vice President Cheney’s alleged use of a curse word in a private conversation but they would never mention that Kerry used the same word for publication in a magazine. The double standards on the part of the media are endless, and they are always tilted in favor of the left. If there is anyone who still believes the media is not biased to the very far left, they are just ignorant.

Bump for excellence in posting!!!
Why thankee
I have no idea how to respond to that. They need to go back to phonics.
BUMP
ROTFLMSO!!!!!!!!!!!!! The TWINKIE presidential candidate.
Be careful with the 'can't find one'...they can. The facts: Florida law prevents convicted felons from voting. There were people thought to be convicted felons purged from the voter roles (making them unable to vote). There were some mistakes made on the list. Based on appeals success (people who filed to have their voter eligibility reinstated) proportionately more whites than blacks (with hispanics in the middle) were wrongly added to the list. They can find one. They could probably find 10 in PB county. They can't come within three orders of magnitude of 57,000. But they can find one....and make no mistake, his face will grace the cover of 'news' magazine's cover closer to the election to stir up the racial divide and motivate the D black vote.
It's closer than we think!
You nailed it, GeronL !! Good article !
In other words, most are spineless.
Very much so!
Thanks for the heads up Meek!!!!!
Excellent work, GeronL. Keep it up!
Shame on me, I was so agitated about this article and another I posted the cross on each... this article was sweet and I bow to a Master.
Closer review reveals this to be a vanity piece; for a moment there I thought the press was actually doing their job. Why am I not surprised?
Mornin', ya'll !! :^D
Have a cup while you Freep !
In an argument with a leftie the other day he stated that his life philosophy was "to thine own self be true" nothing else mattered. Patriotism was an ideal that required him to be a slave, yes a slave, to someone else's philosophy and was "passe". That did it, I started my standard lecture to "those people".
If it weren't for the brave, free men who actually value the God given freedom from tyranny, you wouldn't have your precious philosophy. You'd be working in a broom factory for a bowl of borscht and a drink of vodka. If it wasn't for brave men of liberty, you'd be waiting to burn in an oven because of your religious beliefs. These brave men that said, "I must be true to myself, yes, but I will defend God's law of liberty for all man". You want a mantra, take that one, if you have the courage. That mantra is of God AND country, and the liberty of all men. God created you free, man will enslave you! When you start seeing that, call me. Until then, set alone in your ivory tower and kiss the feet of your master. I'll be long since dead fighting for your liberty. You may choose to live on your knees, I choose to die on my feet, because life without freedom is Hell on earth, and I won't be a part of it.
Great!
You need to send this to the RNC!
The Ass. Plicks as I refer to them are nothing but a PR tool for the lunatic left and the Islamofascists.
Nic! Where the heck have you been? You went missing on us again.
