WASHINGTON — John Kerry (search) suggested Saturday night that Republicans may try to keep black voters from casting their ballots to help President Bush (search) win in November. "We are not going to stand by and allow another million African American votes to go uncounted in this election," the Democratic presidential nominee told the Congressional Black Caucus (search).

And incidentally what about the Military vote. Is he as concerned that the absentee ballots might end up in the trash again?
"Disenfranchised voter" argument already in play. Trying to inspire and enrage the Jesse Jackson crowd even though they can't stand Kerry. Or Edwards.
I saw a clip from this speech. It was the republicans did it in 2000, and they'll do it again this year. Sickening how wealthy, educated people can believe that crap.
As with most things liberal, the opposite is true. The amoralist Demorats can't comprehend that anyone would not try and stop voters who are against them.
Bush should capitalize off these irrational statements of Kerry's.
Just make a long list of them, laughingly repeat them and frame the guy for the idiot he is.
The Kerry camp is going down for the third time. Implossion iminent. Stand back...
I agree with Jesse Jackson on this one. If anyone supresses the black vote this time around it will be Kerry and his vanilla shake campaign.
"We are not going to stand by and allow acts of voter suppression, and we're hearing those things again in this election."
What an outrageous statement !
What Kerry meant: "I think black people are stupid. If I tell you that a million black votes went uncounted in 2000, you people are dumb enough to believe me. And if I tell you that the Republicans plan to do it again, I bet your eyes will get all bugged-out like in the movies. At least, that's what Theresa told me would happen. I don't actually know any black folks, so I'm just going on what she says. She was born in Africa, you know -- and she tells me that you people are dumb as a sack of hammers."
Why doesn't he just say that he supports a completely free and fair election rather than single out the votes of African Americans as needing protection? Because he fears losing a free and fair election so he only cares about protecting votes from a particular racial/ethnic group that he assumes will go to him. What next? Kerry will promise to protect gay votes or Jewish votes?
It's paternalistic and offensive, as usual.
Don't worry John, we've got the U.N. monitoring things this time around. < /sarcasm >
I'm sure Dan Rather will be doing some indebth reporting on how President Bush is planning to suppress the black vote...memos and all.
ROTFL
Shame on you kerry for this hateful racist rhetoric.
Did any - any - member of the media call him on this little factoid?
There are two chance of that; Slim and None - and Slim is HIV positive.
Since BUSH is such powerful force, he should have no problem sweeping the election right out from under his opponent. (/refusing to type the name).
(/smiling from ear to ear that it's a shoe in that W will be re-elected.....YEAHHHH!!!)

The fact that he has the nerve to actually say this out loud shows just how desperate he really is at this point. Even the blatantly biased Civil Rights Commission, run by that gem of a gal Mary Frances Berry, came up with NADA on disenfranchised black FL voters. What a joke.
