You forgot to mention that the counties where police supposedly intimidated blacks so they would not vote were all democRat controlled.

A million African American votes went uncounted? Really?
Kerry is insane, insane insane.

Frankly, I think it's more of a case of "A drowning man will clutch at a snake."

[beyondashadow]

He also has said he has thousands of lawyers around the country prepared to monitor the polls on election day.

It's bad enough that we have the international OSCE people monitoring our election! Now we have to endure Kerry's cronies and henchmen peering over our shoulders in the voting booth??

[Angry Enough]

Can this man never learn when to shut his mouth? He is embarassing himself....oh, wait. That saves us a lot of trouble, doesn't it. Very well. Carry on. (or should I say "Kerry on?")

"What they did in Florida in 2000, they may be planning to do in battleground states all across this country this year," the Democratic presidential nominee said

Just when I think he can't sink any lower..........

I am so tired of the Democrats trying to paint Republicans as racist. It's ridiculous. From the beginning the Republican Party has been against racism. Not only has it been against racism, it is the issue of abolishing slavery that stated the Republican Party!!! The Republicans first started having meetings in 1854, and the main issue: to abolish slavery! In fact, in 1856 John C. Fremont ran for the presidency and used the slogan: "Free soil, free labor, free speech, free men, Fremont." These ideals are still at the heart of the Republican Party today.

Facts that the Democrats really have a hard time with:

• Lincoln was a Republican.
• It was congressional Republicans that were most responsible for passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964. 79% of Republicans in the house voted for it, while only 63% of the Democrats did. Also the Republicans (81% of them) voted to end a filibuster in the Senate that allowed the bill to be voted on, while only 65% of the Democrats voted to end the filibuster.
• The Democrat party is full of ex KKK members, such as Robert Byrd.
• Some of the greatest young (and old) leaders in the Republican Party are black. Although Democrats just label anyone who is black and associated with the Republicans as “sellouts” and “Uncle Toms”.
• It was Earl Warren that declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. (Warren was a Republican governor of Californian when he was appointed to be chief justice of the US.)
• There are more high-level blacks in the Bush Administration than in any other Administration in history.
• It is Democrats who continue a social form of slavery called welfare. Republicans want all Americans to succeed and to be successful. Not with handouts, but with making sure the playing field is level.
  
  And the facts go on and on...

"Hints". More like shouted from the rooftops.

BTW, Democrats were very sucessful in 1998 midterms at getting out the black vote. That year Black radio stations riled up their listeners by telling them that that Newt Gingrich's thugs were stationed at polling booths preventing them from voting.

And here's part of an actual ad from '98 : "When you don’t vote, you let another church explode. When you don’t vote, you allow another cross to burn. When you don’t vote, you let another assault wound a brother or sister. When you don’t vote, you let the Republicans continue to cut school lunches and Head Start"

Jean Kerry is Thurston Howell III

Some commemoration of September 11, eh?

[Democratshavenobrains]

Why don't reporters fixate on Kerry's accusation of GOP racism like they did with Cheney's mild statement?

[crushelits]

[dr_who_2]

What else could they claim? The GOP has already burnt down all their churches.

Just out of curiosity, how does one go about suppressing the black vote?

By hyping up the info in this little clip:

Katherine Harris should be in jail

Funny how the democrats ignored the protesters from FL after the 2000 election drama.

"While Sept. 11th was the worst day we have ever seen, it brought out the best in all of us," Kerry told families of Massachusetts victims during a memorial at the Boston Opera House. He delivered the same message in the weekly Democratic radio address.

He's right. For example, Kerry, Daschle, et alia sat around not knowing what to do for 40 minutes, until WH aides told them to evacuate.

And that's the best Kerry can do.

I read all the posts before replying. Nobody seems to see what is perfectly obvious to me.

The reason for this claim is very simple. It is a pre-emptive Democrat strike against any Republican attempts to control voter fraud.

Any attempt to ensure that all votes are legal will be called "suppressing the black vote." Also look for lots of keeping the polls open late, and so forth, in black neighborhoods.
