This is very Soviet: to accuse your opponent of the very crimes you are committinng. Never before have I seen the American left drop the pretense of not being fascists. Signs and property are being vandalized for the overwhelming need of the left to create a climate of fear for those who dare to dissent.

[yoe]

The MSM is gleefully reporting the vandalism of all things Bush/Cheney be it various GOP headquarters or cars with bumper stickers or Republicans openly for President Bush. No Where have I seen or read about Republicans doing any of this nasty stuff.

Democrats are street fighters, Republicans are usually reserved, so much so it has come as a huge surprise that they are fighting back - with ads - at all.

PRESIDENT BUSH WILL LEAD AND KEEP AMERICA SAFE - JOHN FONDAKERRY WILL NOT - HE VOTES AGAINST AMERICANS FOR THE UNITED NATIONS - HE HAS NO FOREIGN POLICY NOW DUE TO THE OIL FOR FOOD PROGRAM.

It would be wonderful if Bush dropped some reference to this in tonights debate. Something like "my opponent claims that Republicans are out to disenfranchise African american voters, I want to remove that bitter divisive notion from the American political lexicon."

It would be sweet. The only thing Kerry could do would be to accuse Bush of doing it first.

Kerry is the Elite Establishment's President.

"Speaking of demagoguery, Liberal dinosaur Walter Cronkite, also fired back at the right-wing pajamahadeen; 'I cannot understand how the Internet should have gotten so entirely oblivious to the whole theory of libel and slander. How is it possible for these people to get on the air with any allegation they want to make, any statement they want to make as if it were true, as if they were journalists which they are clearly not? They are scandal mongers.' "

Cronkite, along with most of the liberal legacy media, erroneously think that "the press" is a special class of people. The press is the printing press; it is for everyone; the right to publish one's views and opinions should not be limited to these elitists.

The liberal legacy media also defends, at all costs, the myth of neutral journalism. Anyone who claims neutrality about things like the presidential election is either a liar, worthlessly apathetic, or brain dead.

These liars need to keep being exposed over and over for their fraud until no one pays them any attention.

"John Kerry said, "We're seeing efforts by the Republicans, unfortunately, in various parts of the country to suppress votes and intimidate people, to do things that bring back memories that are pretty bitter in the American mind from the year 2000."

John F. Kerry has stepped out of the shadows and has boldly revealed himself as a power hungry, anti-American socialist. As in the Vietnam era Kerry is stirring up peoples' emotions and trying to divide America for personal gain, but now it's far more serious because Kerry has grown in political stature, he's an experienced rabble rouser who's running for President. What's worse, he's now picking at the scab of the extremely divisive 2000 Election. Kerry would love to foment another civil war because he'd win on two fronts; he'd get to see America torn apart and weakened from a box seat in the White House.

Scandal mongers though they may be, I am unaware of any of them who stepped in front of a camera and declared that the Tet Offensive--where enemy casualties outnumbered ours nearly 50 to 1--was a "draw;" a lie which led to the loss of more American lives by emboldening the enemy to fight on after that huge defeat.

If I recall it correctly, Cronkite described Tet as an American defeat rather than a draw. Either way, he was lying through his teeth and deliberately hurt the American efforts there.

[Twinkie]

Dear Walter Concrete, We know about libel and slander out here on the net. We have had excellent examples of it over the years from YOU and your forged "documents" and blatant lies! If you'd had your way, we would all be referring to each other as "Komrade" - that is, the few of us that survived the cold war would have done.

Listen closely, in numbers too big to comprehend, we are sick of you and your cohorts demanding respect for your attempts to be KINGMAKERS in national politics!!

"GOP Stifles Free Speech"

Oh I'm sorry. Thought this was a CFR thread.

[Shazolene]

Walter Cronkite says: "How is it possible for these people to get on the air with any allegation they want to make, any statement they want to make as if it were true, as if they were journalists which they are clearly not?"

What makes a journalist? Education? Walter had almost none before going into the news business. He has no degree, only "attended University of Texas" 1933-35.

Experience? He worked for newspapers and UPI until 1948, when he started working on TV -- a medium that was barely started at that time. How did he do it? Just DID it.

Exactly as the Internet journalists are doing now. They are pioneering a new medium. Some of them, I am sure, have more education. As to experience, I would submit that they have FAR more experience in the world they are reporting on -- the world of the 21st Century -- than Mr. Cronkite does.

His youth, fame, and passion belong to a time long past. No wonder he is bitter.

Memo to the MSM:
Free Republic Got Rather and CBS.
Matt Drudge is going to nail Halperin and ABC.
NBC...you're next.
Be afraid, Brokaw. Be very afraid.

How Democrats Steal Elections - Top 10 Methods of Liberal Vote Fraud

1. Over-Voting. In Democrat strongholds like St. Louis, Philadelphia and Detroit, some precincts had 100% of their registered voters voting, with 99% of the ballots going to Gore. Clearly, multiple voting resulted in extra tallies for Gore in the 2000 election. (New York Post, 12/09/00).

2. Dead Voters. This classic Democratic method of vote fraud goes all the way back to 1960 in Chicago and Dallas. The 2000 election was no exception. In Miami-Dade County, for example, some of the 144 ineligible votes (those which officials actually admitted to) were cast by dead people, including a Haitian-American who's been deceased since 1977 (Miami-Herald, 12/24/00).

3. Mystery Voters. These "voters" cast votes anyway but are not even registered to vote. In heavily Democratic Broward County, for example, more than 400 ballots were cast by non-registered voters. (Miami-Herald 1/09/01)

4. Military ballots. Many of these votes were disqualified for the most mundane and trivial reasons. At least 1,527 valid military ballots were discarded in Florida by Democratic vote counters (Drudge Report, 11/19/00).

5. Criminals. Felons are a natural Democratic voter and they're protected on voter rolls across the country. In Florida at least 445 ex-convicts - including rapists and murderers -- voted illegally on November 7th. Nearly all of them were registered Democrats. (Miami-Herald 12/01/00)

6. Illegal aliens. These voters have long been a core liberal constituency, especially in California. In Orange County in 1996, Rep. Bob Dornan had his congressional seat stolen from him when thousands of illegal aliens voted for Loretta Sanchez (Christian Science Monitor, 9/2/97).

7. Vote-buying. Purchasing votes has long been a traditional scheme by Democrats, and not just with money. In the 2000 election in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Democratic workers initiate a "smokes-for-votes" campaign in which they paid dozens of homeless men with cigarettes if they cast ballots for Al Gore (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, 11/14/00).

8. Phantom Voters. These voters don't really exist, but their ballots do. In the 1996 Lousiana Senate race, GOP candidate Woody Jenkins had the election stolen from him when he discovered that 7,454 actual votes were cast but had no paper trail to authenticate them (Behind the Headlines, F.R. Duplantier, 4/27/97).

9. Dimpled chads. Those infamous punch-cards were a ballot bonanza for Al Gore. Democratic poll workers in Palm Beach, Dade and Broward counties tampered and manipulated thousands of ineligible ballots and counted them for Gore, even though no clear vote could be discerned. (NewsMax.com 11/27, 12/22, 11/18, 11/19/00).

10. Absentee ballots. Normally it's assumed that Republicans benefit from absentee ballots. But in the case of Miami's 1997 mayoral election, hundreds of absentee ballots were made for sale or sent out to non-Miami residents. Fraud was so extensive in the race that the final results were overturned in court (FL Dept. of Law Enforcement Report, 1/5/98)."
